Snow started around 0630. Very light at first and of a soft hail variety
Now small flakes but of moderate intensity and settling on grass and cars
but not on the roads.


I didn't notice it at Cranleigh till about 7:45am BST (but I've just
realised you are using GMT so that's consistent). It quickly became
heavy, with the small flakes becoming large for a while, before becoming
lighter and of small flakes from about 9am. It's still snowing lightly.

It settled readily on all surfaces, though it has now mostly melted from
the roads. There must have been about 2-3 inches, most of that falling
in the space of an hour or so.
