Yesterdays peak 13cm snow cover has now decreased to 7cm full cover. A
combination of heating from below, compaction, rain, drizzle and a spell of
above freezing yesterday evening has done the damage at my altitude. Higher
up (circa 100 metres) there is still 10-15cm with drifts).

Fresh dusting of less than 1cm overnight making today the 8th consecutive day
with sleet/snow falling. Will it ever stop? :-)
Cloudy, misty and very cold T-1.8C D -1.8C with a F1 ENE wind.

Amazingly still dripping and icicles on shed roof (unheated), there must have
been a lot of heat stored on the surfaces before the snow as we did not have
a frost in this current spell before the snow came.

Roads are fine. Bits of snow and ice but nothing to trouble experienced and
careful drivers. Yesterdays sightseers (100s of them) did a good job of
clearing the road by driving/skidding on it LOL.

A good 12 cm here in Bracknell this morning, Will. Unusual for us to get so
much. Most fell during a couple of hours around lunchtime yesterday, when the
flakes were so fluffy I could see the snow depth rising by the minute! Had a
max of 13 cm at 1500Z, but compacting has reduced it a bit.
