... (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.


.... (1125Z): moderate snow again, but recently we had a mix of sleet
(RASN) mixed with pellets (PE) ... new snow depth 5 cm.
OAT: = +0.3°C//DP = -1.0°C//Visibility 0700M
Been out for a walk: roads running OK ... all treated roads fine,
others PWC but the care is needed!

Martin.
