I've noticed isolated v small snowflakes for the past hour or so but
we've now (11.00 am) started to see larger and more numerous flakes
blowing in the wind, as darker cloud moves in from the east.

Bit heavier than that here at 11.30 a.m. Moderate shower, largish flakes,
not settling yet as no frost last night and air and ground probably the same
at 2C. Temperature dropping and dew point rising in shower now, as you might
expect. Just waitng for the -13C 850 hPa to pass by this afternoon ;-)
