Would like to go out tomorrow to find some proper snow at somewhere
within 1 to 1.5 hours train journey of Southampton: so how is it
looking this morning? (I'm guessing that there's going to be
relatively little melting today with the northerly moving in) The sort
of places I'm interested in include Surrey (Guildford, Dorking,
Haslemere) , north Hampshire (e.g. Petersfield, Whitchurch, Overton),
and east Wiltshire (Salisbury, Warminster, possibly Bedwyn or Pewsey)

Thanks,
Nick

Four miles outside Guildford, there is certainly still snow in
Godalming. Hog's Back had much yesterday, presumably still there -
visibility isn't quite that from here.

A rail journey past high ground and downs should see snow.

Salisbury Plain does sound promising, but can't speak for that.

On the edge of Salisbury Plain here in East Gomeldon (near Boscombe
Down) - still snow cover around, but has been rain / sleet mix today.
No additional snow overnight

At Cranleigh, Surrey, there was a fair bit of rain overnight judging by
the puddles, but it's been dry this morning *surprisingly, given how
dark and low the clouds have been). If there should be any further ppn,
I think it's become cold enough for snow (my old Six's thermometer on
the shed north wall is reading 1C).
