..... (0710Z); still technically light snow (by notional accumulation),
but visibility down below 3km, and steady settling on all surfaces
*except* roadways.
OAT +0.2°C DP -1.8°C (it's the latter doing the damage!)

Cars are picking up a roof-covering, which in my experience means the
local roads are going to be tricky now.

0755 SSW F1 2500 -SN BR 8/ST T006D-012
RMK: Steady snow - very short period moderate - but looking at the PPN
now it's on the point of turning to sleet I think. Covering most
surfaces EXCEPT roads - patchy cover on pavements. No more than 1 cm
grass, but generally less than 0.5cm. =
