Brussels on Sunday 20th December

Very wintry scene when I got up this morning at about 09.00 local time.
Heavy snow blown along in clouds with visibility at moderate fog level.
Snow seems to have started at about 04.00 and continued until around midday.
About 10 cm new snow with some drifting.

More snow from 13.30 to 14.15 but then it started to brighten up with a few
breaks in the cloud. Cloud moved away and sky became fairly clear around
dusk. Moderate to fresh SSW wind veered WSW in the afternoon and decreased
somewhat.

Temperature rose just above freezing in the afternoon but the frost returned
by dusk.

Brussels Uccle 0.5°C - overnight minimum -9.3°C - and 8 mm rainfall
Brussels Airport 0.7°C - overnight minimum -11.2°C - and 3 mm
