Very heavy snow around 0600, thunder at 0603

First lying snow (50% cover) in April here since 26 April 1981, which
had 4 cm (but much later in the month). Only the third day with snow
cover in April since 1973 (11 April 1978, 26 April 1981) although
several mornings have had 50% cover.

Greatest depth of lying snow here since 7 Feb 1986 (13 cm).

Rainfall equivalent 8.4 mm. A high depth for this amount of rain, but
I took an average of about 20 samples for snow depth and have
confidence in my depth figure of 11 cm.

Cloud just beginning to break, watery sunshine appearing.

Cloud now clearing, brilliant sunshine in deep blue sky, the glare
from the still complete snow cover is hard on the eys but makes for
good photographs. Solar radiation near 900 W/m2, air temp still
struggling at 4°C.

Similar in some respects to what we have here. Snow depth on
grass 10 cm (and on top of screen). Measured 6.8 mm rainfall
equivalent, so a high snow depth for this amount. The sky, however is
still rather leaden and a bit yellowish (8 oktas) and very light snow
is still falling. The sky is brightening but there is nothing
resembling sunshine at the moment or any sign of it to the north-
west. Wind N force 2-3 and temperature 1.5°C so there's a possibility
this may be my lowest April max in 25 years' recording. The record at
the moment is 2.1°C on 5 Apr 89 when 6 inches of snow fell during the
morning.
