Default [WR] Romsey - snow depth 2cm

Deepest snow (but still less than an inch!) since 27 Feb 2004.
Currently, we have a complete cover of wet snow of 2cm depth.


Notable transition to Cornwall-type weather around the midday
period. At 1100Z, we maintained more than half cover of snow
but there was no trace of snow by 1300Z as the temp soared to
+7.5C in sunny skies. The fresh west wind is doing a good job
of drying hard surfaces that were sopping wet not long ago.
