Thankyou for that Norman. I was driving home from Luton
at that time and saw nothing other than rain - not even
windscreen sleet - but I've just this moment (2235z) taken
my big halogen lamp outside and it's now 90% snow,
though only slight, and the temperature is 1.8°C.
But for the alert I would probably have missed it!

So that's the light I can see down here in Kempston Temperature
falling fast (now 3oc) here however can't see anything like snow on the
camera, suppose I should open the door.
