Gather them here. Hoping for a few flakes this evening in showers. Might drive up to Haldon and see a possible change to snow late afternoon as this system passes and we get into the cold air behind the cold front.

Quite a lot here - 5 to 6 cm by the time it stopped at 18Z having started lightly at about 16Z

It was remarkable how much light there was, easily enough to register on my digital camera. One second at f/3.3, ISO 400. I took a shot at 6 pm and of course it came out too bright and will have to be Photoshopped. The source of the light can only have been street lights, carefully designed to shine downwards, the light from which bounced off the lying snow and further bounced off the falling snow and the cloudbase, which must have been nearly on the deck.
It's much darker now despite brilliant full moon.
