I didn't notice it at Cranleigh till about 7:45am BST (but I've just
realised you are using GMT so that's consistent). It quickly became
heavy, with the small flakes becoming large for a while, before becoming
lighter and of small flakes from about 9am. It's still snowing lightly.

It settled readily on all surfaces, though it has now mostly melted from
the roads. There must have been about 2-3 inches, most of that falling
in the space of an hour or so.
