Default [OBS]Whipsnade Obsy, Beds, Sun 20 Dec 2009

0850z W F1-2 32km SKC -07.8/-10.5 999.6
RMK: Sl/mod snow 2240 to 0030 (briefly heavy), has
left 2-3cm fresh snow, total depth averaging 15cm.
Temp was just above zero for about five hours but
there was never any sign of snowmelt. Super radiation
conditions from dawn to sunrise. Snow-surface
mins re-exposed at 0830z and read at 0930z. Sky
bluer and sunshine stronger than at this time yesterday.
Definitely winter wonderland here - last night's snow
came with light winds, so the trees have caught it all.
On the downside, my beautifully sculpted 1m drift
now has much smoother curves.

09-09 Obsy: Tx 0.3 Tn -7.9 Tg -14.6 RR ???
09-09 Lodge: Tx 0.5 Tn -8.9 Tg -12.3 RR 2.6 sss 5.1
