Hi Martin,

I'm rather surprised that you've not at least had some snow flakes/grains as
we have had in Newbury from a couple of showers today. I can also confirm
that it snowed in Woolton Hill and Thatcham, 2 miles to the west and 3 miles
to the East respectively. Mind you, of course the large majority of the
precipitation was drizzly bits of rain. Must have been quite sporadic. A
few grains did also fall in Newbury yesterday alongside the rainy bits.

Interesting.

Kind Regards
Tony
