Almost true blizzard up here around 1400 this afternoon for the best
part of half an hour. It put down another 3cm or so. Lots of spin
drift for the rest of the afternoon making some sections of road have
visibility measured in feet and the drifts rebuilding across.


What is 'spin drift'?
Somebody else mentioned it on another thread and I haven't
come across the term before.
