Fareham, 0600: Contiinuous light fine fluffy snowflakes are falling in
almost calm conditions - presumeably from high-ish cloud as it moves
South. There's now been been 10 hours of continuous air frost with
mostly clear skies and and a hoar frost. Current temperature 0.0 deg
C., overnight minimum -2.0 deg C.

Therefore, it's lying 100% on *all* surfaces, which dry, albeit very
thin (translucent white) and unmeasurable so far. Blow on it and it
blows away! Still, beggars can't be choosers - we may get a rare day
of snow lying, by 9 am!

I did say the other day, it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings...


06:45 (to match the next radar image)

Snow has *almost* stopped but a few flakes can still be seen. Very
thin 100% sno cover persists, 0.0 deg C, light Northerly. Getting
light now, very nice scene

There's more of *something* on the way South imminently... but will it
all melt before 9 am...
