Hi Martin,

I'm rather surprised that you've not at least had some snow flakes/grains as
we have had in Newbury from a couple of showers today. I can also confirm
that it snowed in Woolton Hill and Thatcham, 2 miles to the west and 3 miles
to the East respectively. Mind you, of course the large majority of the
precipitation was drizzly bits of rain. Must have been quite sporadic. A
few grains did also fall in Newbury yesterday alongside the rainy bits.

Interesting.

Kind Regards
Tony

.... nothing he with dew points reported, and the marginal intensity,
I wouldn't have expected anything - today (Thursday) will be a different
matter. What altitude are you?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I am situated just below the
higher parts of Wash Common in Newbury and am approximately situated at
107amsl AFAIK (that's precise I suppose). I am pretty much in the suburbs
of Newbury and it is often noted that when snow falls up at Wash Common,
during the same event, it would be plain ole rain in the town centre. To
give you an idea of how close to AMSL it gets, the town centre does have the
Kennet running through it. This being the place where the dead swan was!

Hoping I'm not rambling.

Regards

Tony
Hic, Hic
Finish off my Thursday tipple, roll on spring please!

.... thanks for that info: I am always surprised how much conditions can
differ over short distances - sometimes, for example, Bernard's
(Wokingham/Emmbrook) & our (Bracknell/Tawfield) conditions can show
marked differences - and yet the two 'towns' are adjacent, and the
Wokingham Borough boundary is a short, brisk walk away! However, on the
ground, the Wokingham site is some 6 km, bearing 300° from us.

Martin.
