Light snow started 1040.
Sun disappeared. How much will settle and on what surfaces?
Not the depth of cold in the ground compared with 28 Feb so some uncertainty.

Wembury, SW Devon coast


Heavy snow in last hour.
Turned Wembury white.
About 3 cm deep but reluctant to cover road surface.
Trouble is the narrow roads to Wembury will be filling up slowly, cutting us off.
Need to get to Plymouth for wife's Plymouth Phil Concert.
Unlikely atm.


Being snowing moderately all afternoon, but not settling.
Nice warm ground, but not settling even on car roofs.
Something's up. Temperature around 0°C.
I think there is some warmer maritime air being entrained into the circulation.
