Slight snow has been falling in the form of small flakes on and off
during the morning, although developing Cu mediocris cloud in the
last hour is producing a few larger ones together with snow pellets
1110-1120Z and 1145Z to present. Those pellets that land on my
car, roll off and crush onto the driveway. No effect on surfaces
and minimal on visibility.

.... (23/1320Z): similar here a bit further west (or downstream) at West
Moors/East Dorset: light snow began ~1215Z, snow flakes (no pellets)
lazily floating down from time to time - initially from thick/overcast
lumpy Sc, but now more obviously Cu med as the Sc has broken up again.
No impact VIS/SFC.
