Default [WR] -RA/RERASN 23/0930Z West Moors/E.Dorset

... (23/0930Z): not raining currently, but note sferics on latest
frames coastal Channel! Still sub-zero temperatures in air (-0.8°C),
though the grass min thermometer, though ice-covered, is reading
0.0: presumably some latent heat exchanges in place there.

All paths are like glass: they *look* wet, but are in fact highly
dangerous.



.... (23/1130Z): currently light/continuous rain, but whilst out and
about, PPN turned moderate, with a very little wet snow embedded. OAT
currently: +0.3°C, with grass min. thermo just a tenth above zero.

Paths, with the benefit of 'warm' PPN have now begun to sort
themselves out: still patches of ice (where previously thick), but
broadly, it's just wet/soggy underfoot. Roads seem OK ... one or two
minor roads are as the paving - need care, but generally fine.

Martin.
