Default Fareham 'April snow lying at 9 am' shocker

Well well well, started as soft hail at 7 am, then sleet then heavy
snow for less than an hour. Result? 6 cm of fluffy lying snow on cars
and 4 sm on the ground including all side roads.

This is the first day I can recall snow lying at any time in April,
since I moved finally to the South Coast here, 20 years ago. It is the
first such day *in any month* since the thundersnow over 4 years ago
and it's 100% cover. One for the record books, I think!

Current temperature +0.4 deg C and it's just started to snow again...
