Now snowing 1640


That was time-stamped 18:39. Did you wait two hours before posting, or
was the "1640" a typo?

Snowing very gently in Cranleigh and, as far as I can tell by looking
out from a darkened room, there's an extremely thin covering on all
surfaces.


Typo.


We still have 10 cm in Godalming - presumably the accretion from 1230 to
1730 has been offset by settlement, any phase processes inside the snow
and of course any inaccuracy in measurement.


In answer to Colin's query the man who was moving drove to Hastings,
then with little snow, unloaded, returned here by 0600 this morning. His
7.5 tonne van sits at the very foot of the hill as I write. He and a
couple of probably Polish-accented gentlemen - father and uncle, perhaps
- were proposing to re-load it this evening by carrying boxes of
belongings up and over the hill on foot.

Their original plan was to move during the course of today. Hastings,
they say, has now got snow.
