Hardly any snow left in Southampton but the southward facing slopes of
the Downs outside Winchester, which presumably got some sun this
morning, still looked white from the distance as late as 1300 today.
They're a bit higher but still generally under 500ft, so obviously
it's quite significantly colder just inland. The fastest rate of
melting seemed to be after dark yesterday evening.

I think there was just generally more snow there than in Southampton. It
was noticable just the difference between the city centre and Chilworth
(1-2" in the centre compared to 3" at Chilworth). There was 6-8" in
Basingstoke...
