Default [WR]181300ZJAN2013_WestMoors/EastDorset

... 18/1200Z: continuous slight snow (proper flakes/varying sizes)
still, but showing signs of easing further in intensisty: visibility
hovering just within fog limits (~900M). New depth since 09Z perhaps 1
cm, but overall depth has if anything settled back from the mean of 6 cm
at that time to around 5 cm.
OAT: 0.4°C.

.... 18/1300Z: snow continues - back to a mix of slight ocnl moderate -
no real extra depth but where I've cleared the snow, there's a shallow
layer 1 cm. Visibility back down to 500 or 600M, combination of
slightly increased intensity of snow and general visibility reduction.
OAT: 0.4°C
Traffic still light; Wilts and Dorset buses have given up I think, but
YellowBus continue (both operating to/from Bournemouth but W&D have to
go on more country routes).

Martin.
