[WR] Solent - Snow and it's lying!
The wonders will never cease! Continuous moderate snow here for the
last 15 minutes and it's currently 100% cover including the local streets. Depth now 6mm and accumulating. Temperature's fallen back from around +1 C all afterrnoon (-4.3C last night) to 0.0 deg C. The naighbours' kids are loving it! I haven't the heart to tell them it's unlikely to stick around for long... Dave West Fareham |

The main thingis, it actually feels like proper snow when you walk on it (extremely unusual down here). Temperature steady at 0.0C and I've had a phone call from Stubbington (less than a mile from the Solent coastline at Solent MRSC) to say it's snowing and settling there, too. The front has certainly pepped up in the last hour or so in the South! But I expect it to ease off and turn sleety soon. It always does. Dave West Fareham |

It eased off then stopped after an hour or so and now the temperature is up to +1.7 but the snow is *still* scrunchy at 100% cover due to the frozen base. Depth is about 16 mm. But unless the sky clears, it will be gone by morning  -- Dave Fareham |
