Hi, All,

COPLEY MET. OFFICE SITE manual readings 09hr 14th January, Wind N 24 knots (force 6) gusting 30 knots. Visibility 200 metres, sky obscured, snow&blowing snow. Temperature -1°C Humidity 96%. Barometer (adjusted to sea level) 1002mb rising. Maximum today -0.5°C Last night's minimum -0.7°C Grass minimum -1.5°C (under snow) 30cm earth 4.4°C Past 24 hours' precipitation 3.7mm (snow converted) Sun today 0.0hr Highest gust today 36 knots (41mph).
Snow depth 5cm

Just 5cm but coming down sideways on a force 6 northerly and increasing quite quickly. Road clearance hasn't got going as well as usual, perhaps concentrating on main roads atm so we'll stay put for now.
Screens frozen shut, rain gauge funnel frozen on, locks frozen - usual winter problems that we have got used to not having for a week or two!
