Started about 1000 up here. Sunny intervals between heavy snow showers
this afternoon.

Probably about 3" lying now with drifts to 18" or so near walls.

I wasn't either, these snow showers seem to be coming up from the SE,
rather than in from the E.

This is the first snowfall of this winter

Our second but the first wasn't much more than heavy sugar dusting.

Currently:

Temperature Wind
Outside: -2.5°C 5 sec Gust: 10mph 55° NE
Wind Chill: -11°C 1 Min Average: 12mph (F3 Gentle Breeze) 46° NE

Aye I expect there is just enough up there to cover the grass.
Yep, 2 to 3" but not enough for sking or boarding:

Once a day update.

Hill !

A very green Winter Hill. Very surprised that the shiny new stadium
(opened in 1998) doesn't have pitch heating(*). Sprinkling of white
stuff on the frozen solid surface. Lots of suits standing in the
center circle as we started to rig, we slowed down awaiting a
decision, match called off about 1500 back home by 1800 instead of
0100. B-)

(*) Maybe it does but the accountants won't let 'em run it...
