Frequent snow showers this morning added to the cover here, but they eased
sufficiently in the afternoon to allow a slight thaw especially on verges
and pavements.
We have 5cm level snow, with some minor drifts even in our valley location,
up to 30cm around the house.
Temp reached 1.8 with a min of -0.9 but the effect of the wind really
exacerbates that. Currently it's -0.2 and everything is freezing solid. Dew
point -7.
The rain gauge collected 6.1mm in the thaw, but there's still ice in the
gauge which can melt tomorrow!
I dread to think what conditions are like on the Eastern North York Moors,
one of my colleagues who lives on the southern edge at around 200m reported
6 inches late morning.
Once again the road out of the village was closed this morning, mainly as a
result of lorries trying to get up the hill. At Driffield the road closed to
snow signs are still up, but it will be somewhere just to the North of us.

Well I can confirm nothing here at Hull, save from a few minutes of flakes
gently drfiting on the wind. Looking at the showers as I was having lunch
with my sister, it was clear to see they were moving NW-SE...

Temp down to -1.6, but the wind has really picked up this evening - it's
perishing out there.
