18/0955Z DEC 2010 West Moors/E.Dorset
... (0955Z): 'settled' snow level average = 3cm, maximum 4cm; melted
equivalent 4.6mm. OAT currently 0.0°C. Roads ok with care - some
melting/settling/slipping off roofs & branches but otherwise looks
very pretty.
.... (1515Z): no more snow today - cloud amounts large through morning
& first hour of afternoon, then fragmenting/evaporating well -
currently clear sky overhead, but distant (Channel) Cu con towers
visible.
OAT=+0.3°C//DP=-0.9°C//F2 or less ... already well below zero over the
snow surface; which latter has settled (mainly) with some melting
(minor) to give an average depth of 2cm//maximum 3cm: main problem
tonight will be ice I should think & it could turn misty/patchy fog -
depends what the wind does.
Roads have been fine generally - need care away from A/B & 'linking'
roads, but people are getting around and buses have returned to
schedule.
Martin.
