Disappointing in the end. After a promising start with lawns rapidly
becoming white and temp falling to 0.7, it petered out. Temp now up
to 1.3 and a general thaw.

Similar here, though there's a full cover of perhaps a couple of cm on
the grass, and partial cover on other surfaces.

Also what happened to the near gale NW?

I heard the sound of one or two strong gusts but that was all.

About 2 cm of snow left on the grass this morning, and a fair amount of
frozen slush on pavements and untreated, lightly used roads. This was
the first morning with snow lying here since at least the winter of
2014-5, when I can't remember if there was any or not. There was also
none lying in 2013-4, which of course was the winter of floods and gales.

Within the last half hour it's started snowing again, though it's very
slight. Judging by the rainfall radar, the heavy stuff is likely to pass
by to our east.

It's possible, judging by what happened here that there wasn't any heavy
or even moderate snow. If it had been rain instead of snow, it would
have gone unnoticed.
