Starting at 6.00 pm yesterday there has been 15 hours of continuous

The temperature was remarkably constant at 0.4C throughout which
resulted in a simultaneous thaw.
The result - 1-2 cm lying snow on grass, roofs and cars. No disruption
as even side roads are clear.

Just half a mile away at 100m ASL about 50m higher than here there is
full cover of several cm with a very pretty scene of trees with snow
laden branches.

What was the manual rainfall reading, Dave. Quite a difference between
Wanstead and Epping - though obviously with the wind yesterday, and
the sheltered nature of my snowdon, there's going to be a lot of
variabiity from site to site. Does Ron keep a manual gauge - his AWS
seemed to pack up shortly before mine yesterday?
