... (0730Z): first gentle flakes of snow falling now ... no impact
as yet surface/visibility, but with ground surface solidly below
freezing, anything coming down will lie immediately.
Overnight minimum -6.6 C//current OAT = -1.5 C. Little wind.
Traffic (light/no schools) passing OK currently.


... (0800Z): now steady, but still light, snow: OAT = -1.4 C, light
wind - visibility now affected but still reasonable ~ 4km (probably
some BR element making up the majority of visibility reduction);
surfaces beginning to pick up a snow cover. Traffic still OK ... local
bus passed ... only 5 minutes late.

Nothing in Southampton as yet but horribly dark to the south. It's the
first time for a long time that I've almost felt like turning the
lights on after 8am.
