started at 0905z, a bit later than the radar suggested. There's a
bitter wind that makes your eyes water. 6cm lying snow.

RMK: Continuous snow since just after 0900z. Moderate 1000-1130z,
otherwise slight. Some drifting and blowing of the snow but there
hasn't been enough snow for that to be a problem yet. 8cm lying snow.

RMK: Moderate snow all afternoon with some drifting and blowing snow
12-14cm lying snow. Drifts to 25-30cm around the house/garden. I haven't
ventured any further today but I suspect that drifts might be causing
problems on minor roads. Max temp -0.5
