Interesting! Its has ONLY just started snowing here at Hilton. Was
just thinking about this, checking the temp and dewpoint, turned
around and.....hey presto. Coming down with real intent.

I am not sure this will keep up for long judging by the radar - though
this is very difficult to assess. There is a long line of precip
running down to West Bay and beyond. I thought this was moving east
very smartly but I am not too sure. Pressure is just rising so I am
guessing we are on the back edge of a small cell circulation.

It will be interesting to hear from Martin Rowley later.

I seemed to miss all the thunder and so on yesterday.

I was only saying to someone yesterday that this Spring may be a VERY
long time coming
