... (0900Z): continuous PPN .. mainly slight past hour but short
period moderate snow; visibility now down to ~1500M (combination
snow/general reduction due mist/haze); new cover snow ~1 cm, total
of all snow mean= 2cm, but odd pockets max 3 cm.
OAT = -0.8°C//DP = -2.6°C. Traffic still OK .. steady but light ..
many decided not to bother I think.


.... (1000Z): moderate snow began a few minutes ago, otherwise slight
(occasionally 'noisy' as if there was a warmer layer intercepting the
PPN aloft).
OAT = -0.5°C. Visibility ~800M.
New snow depth now up to 2 cm over undisturbed surfaces [total
representative snow ~ 4cm] - and even trafficked areas have a shallow
cover.
Traffic slow/careful but moving, but I think the buses have given up
and re-cycling hasn't turned up .. probably H&S initially as the roads
are passable with care but it's probably a realistic decision given
the state of the pavements.
