It snowed here from around 3:45pm 'til 9pm, began to settle at around
7:30pm and accumulation was 4cm at best. 6-8cm in higher parts of the area
(Newmains/Shotts). Most roads were very tricky for a while.

Very similar to what happened here. We didn't get the thaw though, the
temp has barely got above freezing since then (min -6.3C last night,
currently -4.4C) so we still have most of the snow lying.

The eventual precip. total of 31mm made it the 2nd wettest day of the year
here. May 30th being the wettest.

Unfortunately my rain gauge stopped recording at 14.5 mm when the snow
started - I guess I need to look into some form of heating.
