RMK: An eventful night! Slight sleet started around 2000z.
This turned to moderate snow sometime between 2100z and 2200z.
By the time it stopped, around 2300z, there was 2 cm of snow
lying on all surfaces. Most of that has gone now but there
are still a few patches remaining. The temperature was on
a real roller-coaster ride. It rose from +0.5° at 2300z to
6.5° at 0215z. It then fell from 6.0° at 0330z to +1.8°
at 0500z. It was windy in the warm sector, peaking at Force 6
with a max gust of 42 knots but we are fairly sheltered in
a westerly. The wind had died away by 0530z.


Maximum gust of 37 knots in the back garden in Chiswell Green, St Albans a
very sheltered location. A similar toller-coaster temperature graph making
a mirror image with the barometric pressure, maximum of 10.7° at 0330z and
a minimum of 988.8hPA at 0400z. Just a moderate breeze from the WNW now.
