Default [WR] 0725Z RE-SN West Moors/East Dorset

.... [ Monday/0725Z] a period of very light snow fell between 0615 &
0645Z: amounts on grass patchy/0.5 cm, elsewhere a 'dusting' only.

OAT -1.8°C. Problem round here - yesterday's ice didn't melt over
paving / shaded minor/untreated roads etc., so a little snow on top of
that will cause a few 'heart-in-mouth' moments (and the elderly/infirm
will have problems if they venture out later).

Haven't been around yet, but can hear the odd 'squeal' of brakes as
drivers find out the ghastly truth!

Martin.
