RMK: Snow shower is very slight. The forecast of the
temperature flat-lining at -1 throughout the night proved to
be a pretty good call. It's actually been a bit higher than that
for much of the night. The only blip was a colder spell in the
early evening when the temp got down to -4.4 around 1800z.
The temp was above zero intermittently throughout the night
so the 'ice day' didn't happen. There's 15 cm of lying snow.

Temps were up and down all night, but interesting watching the road cameras site (http://www.trafficweather.info/roadWeather/rwisMap.jsp) as there was no real pattern to the temps. Some of the local hills were above freezing, some below and vice versa for lower ground and valleys. I did notice an obvious breeze from 2300 on, so obviously a bit of mixing going on and we bottomed out at -2.2.
Weather warning issued for here from the early hours, but the showers have been way out to sea. Annoyingly the MO used Humberside in the warning. Where's that!!!!!!
