I never thought I'd see the day... 100% snow cover on the
Lee-on-the-Solent beach and now, snow showers forecast for the Central
South coast (Solent) with a SW wind off the English Channel. Well
that's what's happened - and we've just had the first snow shower -
off what seems to be a light S-SW wind. The temperature's been below
freezing for several hours already tonight so the bit that's fallen
has settled.

Snow in the Scillies too... so quite apart from last night's snowfall
in the London area, this is some cold pool we are under!

Just so- the incursion of these showers is going to be interesting.
Not tooo sure when this cool pool is going to budge.
Amazed that lowest was -9.7C at 0501 here at Hilton and for the last
hour it has wobbled up and down from -8.7 to -9.2C
A good 3.5" during yesteday afternoon and evening: the large blob over
Dorset rotated around right over us on the flank of that shallow Low
