Hi, All,
Only 1cm but 50% cover at the Met O site. 50% down at the Lead Mill.
The main problem this morning is ice as the heavy snow showers around
04Z - 06Z partially melted and re-froze. The gritters seem to have been
caught out by this one - roads are quite slippy with lying snow in
parts.
Heavy showers with sudden gusts came in around 04Z suddenly (same as
the night before) after clear, calm, frosty conditions with screen down
to -2.9C at both sites.
I too was caught out as the rain gauge heater was not switched on and
the gauge is full of ice! Obviously nothing on the graph for the event
but melting rapidly now with the heater.
7.1mm in the manual gauge.
