... (11/1155Z): still light PPN, small flakes of snow, wandering lazily
down out of thin As (sun's position clearly seen); low-level air clearly
drying out as the previous St fra has dispersed as far as I can see. No
impact from PPN, VIS good now, at least 12 km, and earlier snow cover,
such as it was, has largely melted off from residual/stored heat.

OAT = +1.1°C // DP = -3.9°C.

.... (11/1505Z): the odd flake now but I judge more to do with the Cu
drifting downwind rather than the Cm shield: have been a couple of
spells of persistent -SN in past 3 hours, but certainly no impact on
VIS/SFC & the 'older' snow is now virtually confined to some patches on
grass. I think we've always been on the edge of the thicker cloud, and
in past hour as it's drawn away, the sun has shone through the Cs neb/As
tr strongly enough to cast weak shadows - some FEW/SCT Cu med now.

OAT = +1.2°C // DP = -5.7°C.

Martin.
