Been out for a walk: roads running OK ... all treated roads fine,
others PWC but the care is needed!

Seems to have turned to rain or possibly sleet in the Southampton
area. Lows coming in from the southwest are almost guaranteed not to
produce snow round here, even if the mild air doesn't get in - just
about all our falls are from winds with a northerly component.

Weird because there has been nearly a foot of snow in sub-tropical Exeter!
