Brief summary of today's weather: dull all day. Wet and
windy at first, then wet and less windy followed by drizzle
and occasional fog. Moderate to heavy rain this evening
with fog returning.

The last traces of natural lying snow had vanished soon
after midday and the vast numbers of snowmen that had
overrun Romsey in the past ten days, are reduced to mere
shrunken, headless white domes.
