RMK: Snow started around 0615z after a very lurid orange sunrise.
Slight
dusting on grass and cars. Roads and pavements wet. As I
type this
at 0640z the snow has become moderate with vis down to 800m.
Temperature rising quickly. Now up to +0.1 so it looks as if
the snow
will be a very short-lived event.

RMK: Snow continued till about 0730z by which time there was 1cm on
the
grass. It then turned to sleet and finally to rain about
0830z. There's
now only a few patches of slushy stuff on the grass. It'll
all be gone
within 30 mins. The sun is clearly visible through the As.
