I'm reliably informed it's currnetly snowing near Bournemouth
University but not settling. Don't panic ;-)

Jon.
... interesting: as you know, I can *see* the a/c taking
off/arriving from here ... all we've had is rain (now stopped) and
the temperature/dew point structure wouldn't support anything other
than rain!

Doesn't RESN imply recent moderate snow (or at least a change from
RASN to -RASN) though, Martin ? i.e prior to 1520Z when they were
reporting 01/00.

Jon.

.... indeed: I wasn't implying that they were wrong, just that the
conditions over a 'tuppeny bus ride' away were remarkably different.
In that time-frame, we only had rain, and the temperature remained
around 2 to 2.5; quite remarkable :-)

Martin.
