Continuous moderate rain started here a few minutes ago.

Temperature is +2.1 deg C.

By brother oop north in E. Stockport had 10 inches of level snow last
night and it's still snowing.

Nightmare scenario there, people unable to get to work, I wonder if
it'll be mentioned on the National News?

Already happened - one of the BBC's roving reporters was in Stockport on
the BBC lunchtime news.

Snow grains (I think that's the term) started in Winchester about half
an hour ago. Now proper snowflakes.

I'm just North of Portsdown Hill (about 6 miles NE of Fareham) and snow started
to settle about 30 minutes ago. Now an even cover of 2 cm and coming down
as if it means business! 2.0degC. and pressure falling fast.

Yes, you'll probably get it worse... but... we now have 2cm of snow
covering all surfaces including side streets. Large flakes feeling wet
but certainly lying. No wind hence no Channel air (yet).

+0.2 deg C, continuous heavy snow.

Quick update from what seems to be the eye of the storm, shock horror.

Snow stopped for 15 minutes at 19:35 then started again. Now, it's:

+0.4 dec C continuous moderate snow, 8cm level depth.

This is now the heaviest snowfall and deepest accumulation of snow
that I've seen in the 20 years since I moved here.
