Default [WR] 18/0710Z DEC 2010 RE-SN West Moors/E.Dorset

... (0410Z): a 'flurry' of light snow around 03Z which hardly had
any
impact, but now steadier fall of light snow: OAT -2.4°C, covering
most
surfaces but depth 1 cm or less currently. Small impact on
visibility.
... (0550Z): still snowing - light intensity throughout - cover
fairly
general at an (estimated) 2 or 3 cm, but roads coping and in places,
hasn't covered grass surfaces - local traffic passing with care and
I
can hear the A31(T) running OK too.


..... (0710Z): snow ceased ... petered out slowly from 0630Z .. whole
event was really a 'slight isolated moderate' one .. cover not much
more than noted above. OAT currently 0.1°C. Visibility moderate.
Traffic virtually absent, but not due to road conditions - just people
have decided not to venture out I guess as the local road is perfectly
drivable with care.

Martin.
