RMK: Fog is pretty shallow with vis varying between 100m
and 600m. Quite a bit of rime (2-3mm). Temp at observatory
site hovered around zero to -1 for much of the night, dipping
briefly to -3 around 0600 when the wind nearly died for a time
Averaged snow depth 22cm. Rainfall equivalent of total snow
measured Tue afternoon was 26.0mm which suggests about
3mm has escaped into the ground, though part or all of this
may simply be a measurement error.

1150z SSW F1-2 150m FG OBSC 00.2/00.0 991.3
RMK: Fog closed in again by 0930z, with vis 100-200m
since then


1450z SSW F1-2 600m FG 8St001 00.4/00.2 990.6
RMK: It's now a bit drippy


1750z SSW F2 12km 8St/// 01.7/01.7 989.5
RMK: Mel****er running off the roof now
