Dusting of snow here. Just under 1cm which equates to 0.8mm rain
I've melted in funnel

Enough of a dusting in Blackheath to wake up to and make me trumpet
"Wahay!" on opening the blinds. As the song goes "One day like this a
year will see me right". Clearly from this anecdote a) I'm easily
pleased and b) have a low mental age...!

There was absolute pandemonium outside my house earlier this morning. I
wondered what on earth it was and ran to the window to investigate to
find a dozen schoolkids virtually beside themselves with excitement of
playing in the snow. It was good to see such innocent enthusiasm though
heaven knows how they'll react if we get a decent fall here. Amazing
what a two-year snow drought can do.
The 1cm of snow was all but gone by 1pm to leave a bright, occasionally
cloudy day


You did well. /Our/ 1cm was gone by 11am.

Yes, a puny effort, but the conditions were just right to record my first day of lying snow at 9am since 2013 - a 100% improvement on last winter

You were all bloody spoilt in my opinion. I didn't even get a 1cm drift with my partial 1mm covering :-(

If this was 2014 vs 2015 as a cold winter 2015 would be scraping it on an aggregate of 1mm of snow and more frosts.
