... a short period of snow (proper!) around 0915Z, but back to
rain/snow mixed (with the snowy element very small) or rain only (as
at 08/0950Z - 1050am local). Looking at the radar, I think we have
seen the worst of this one here - might be a different story over the
Downs?


... PPN ceased by 1015Z with breaks appearing in cloud by 1030Z
(11.30am). All surfaces wet - snow phase made no impact apart to make it
even wetter!

Martin.

Snow had ceased here by 09:35Z (10:35BST) and the temp dropped even lower to
0.8C (verified by two different sensors placed 20m apart) during the snowfall.
Have yet to see any sun though in spite of several small holes that have
appeared in the cloud cover. Max temp so far today just 5.4C. Snow lay until
11:25Z. Estimated snowfall: approx .75inch. Today has been the coldest April
day since 1986.

Now the PPN has gone, the wind has strengthened considerably. Many brass
monkeys running round with high squeaky voices!!
