The moderate rain/sleet we've had for the last couple of hours has now
become wet snow and is starting to stick on cars and grass. I am 3
miles inland from the mouth of Southampton Water; 5 miles NW of
Lee-on-the Solent.

Places inland, especially North of the Downs must be getting a pasting
by now.

Temperature +1.8 C and falling. Interesting.

Overcast here at last but frost still. Is it too cold to snow? I
wonder.

Dropped to +1.4 deg for a time but is now back up to +1.9 and
rising... the snow is lighter and wet again - and is clearing what
little snow residue is left on the grass. Cars are still covered in
slushy snow but it'll be gone before dawn.

I think that's it for us. Pretty much what the regional forecast said
it would be for coastal areas around here... not much of an event.

Good forecast.

It was snowing heavily here at 4am with about an inch on the ground.
By 5:30 most of it had been washed away, although roofs, grass and
pavements are still white now (7:45).
