Default Ice needles in Leeds

Jon
Wind has been from a north or northwest point today, so no power stations up
wind: I think fluctuations in the depth of cloud which ties in with small
changes in temperature throught the day.

Or do we call it snow? A covering of ice needles here in Farsley near

Leeds
Temperature down to -4C already at 6pm in mist/fog. Surprisingly the same
event occured on 19 February here in Leeds and Wakefield areas when
measureable depths were reported.


This was mentioned by Steve (Willington) during his briefing last night
with
a view to it not being inconceivable that we could see something similar
again today, particularly downwind of power stations. Could've had
Ladbrokes
shaking in their boots with their 12/1 offer on snow today..
