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.


Yes. Never got much when I lived in that area (1975-2002) (a few events in
the 80s).
Thanks for report, get out and enjoy it!
