Temp' down to 0.7ºC at 7am, snowing heavily and settling readily.




+5.2 C in Troon at 0830.

Front passing through. +2.7 in Troon at 0900 and currently +2.3
(0908). Rain turning to sleet.

Temperature levelled out at +1.7 at 0940. Wet snow falling.

The snow relented just after 10am here, leaving behind a 4cm cover. The
afternoon thawed around half of that. Tricky conditions now, particularly on
pavenments with temp's at -2.5ºC. I notice the cold front fizzled out pretty
quickly today as it headed south.
What I found most remarkable was not the unforecast snow, but the 180º
switch in wind direction. I can't recall seeing that happen so quickly
before.
