Any other snow reports, can't see any apart from Penzance!


We've had temporary coverings of snow the last two days, but only following
the usual mix of rain/sleet/snow/soft hail showers. *I've seen little
significant lying snow except to the west on ground over 500ft.

In Rossendale (NW England) we currently have 5cm level snow cover at
950ft following on from this afternoon's showery activity. Some roads
are treacherous with freezing snow melt (especially minor roads and
the A682 Rawtenstall to Burnley route). No sign at all of any gritters
around 18:45 as I made my way up. Currently:

air temp: -0.4C
dewpoint: -0.7C
