Wasn't there always a prospect of rain along the coast? Here in
Winchester 8 miles to the north it has been snowing on and off since
about 10.00am. Occasionally moderate and waiting to see what the white
"blob" on the radar brings.

Temp about 0 c (poor thermo/exposure).

PS
Just about to post and the blob has arrived. Snow now heavy with large
flakes adding to existing icy cover.

What a fantastic winter so far if you like this sort of thing!

Looks like the heavy area of precipitation is now heading more
northwards and inland than eastwards. Although in the last hour, the
intensity of it seems to have lessened.
