It started as fine powder snow with us at about 2300 last night.

won't be surprised if I encounter some white stuff a little further
inland, away from the coast.

Well you might but it was peeing down up here not long ago. What liitle
came
down last night, just a sugar dusting, has gone. 50% of the inch that came
down on Thursday night and then froze to ice has gone. Temp 2.3C, what
happened to the several inches that lower levels were supposed to get last
night?


I suspect it was a bit of a panicky warning being the first widespread
event!
Warm fronts often disappoint at low-levels, warm occlusions are a different
matter though.
Just cold rain on Dartmoor as expected :-(
