Default [WR] More moderate snow in Kent

I know I'm getting boring but I'm sure most people are surprised it hasn't
settled more!

75 minutes of moderate snow with fairly large flakes has produced no

more
accumulation - temperature 0.8C but RH at 89%. Don't know how the snow
last night managed to accumulate on the roads at all!

This was the view looking up around 20 minutes ago he

The snow came in two showers. First was a 5 minute one which added a
sprinkling of white to the lawn, before it swiftly melted afterwards (air
temperature 1.1C at the end).

Then there was a half hour shower, this time leading to a dusting on cars,
grass and rooves. It even tried to settle on the soaking roads and
pavements, but needless to say as soon as it stopped it melted on those.

10
minutes after it ended the snow's not melted on the grass, cars and

rooves,
although the air temperature's risen from 0.4C to 0.7.

(WR refers to Leysdown, north Kent, 10m ASL).
