I think we might share the honours, Keith. The interesting thing is,
although there's no frost in the ground and it's currently 0.5C (temp
fell as the steadier snow arrived), the snow is lying on the concrete
and grass. There's very little of it on the ground at the moment but
what is there is not thawing. We're about 75m asl, BTW.

The radar shows quite an area of precipitation, yet it's not what I'm
seeing here, shallow clouds and light flurries :-(
