Default [OBS]Whipsnade Obsy, Beds, Tue 22 Dec 2009

0850z WSW F1-2 200m FZFG OBSC -02.1/-02.1 985.9
RMK: Where do I begin? Cont sl snow started 1320z Mon,
becoming mod 1400-1430 and 1525-2030, finally ceasing
just before 0200z. St layer on the deck from 2330z, and
fog seems to have persisted all night. Now, judging from the
changing light and colours it's not all that deep and there's
broken/patchy cloud above. Fresh snow 13-14cm; total
depth varies between 15 and 40cm, average 24cm. AWS
was completely plastered, including anemometer and
windvane, but most of the snow fell with no wind and has
a fairly high moisture content so it's stuck everywhere.
One or two vehicles braving Bison Hill.

09-09 Obsy: Tx -0.1 Tn -3.4 Tg xxx RR to come
