Default [WR] Bewdley 20 Jan 2009 - cold, but not snowy

Max today 5.3°C. The nearest we got to snow (at least while I was
looking) was a bit of sleetiness in the moderate rain around midday.
Otherwise it was simply cold rain: a really rather unpleasant day. Dried
out by the evening, and now 3.0°C.

There was snow quite close by, however: cars were coming into Bewdley
from the west with snow on, Clows Top (about 230m asl) was apparently
affected and the 292 bus from Kidderminster to Ludlow was terminating at
Cleobury Mortimer, at least in the morning, because of snow affecting the
A4117 over Clee Hill. I've also seen photos of quite deep snow (certainly
looked like 10cm+) up in the Malvern Hills.

Yes there was quite a bit of snow west of you. Certainly in Ludlow
where public transport was disrupted for a time. There were also some
school closures (Lacon Childe in Cleobury Mortimer was one). The
lying snow extended northwards to include Craven Arms and Church
Stretton, but petered out before Leebotwood. Some places had 7-10
cm. In Bayston Hill (just south of Shrewsbury, 104 m AMSL) there was
a period of about an hour of snow mid morning (no accumulation), but
most of the time it was raining. Total for yesterday was 9.4 mm, and
the maximum temperature was 2.7. Shawbury (10 miles to NNE, and 25
metres lower) fared slightly better, with a maximum of 3.5, no snow
reported, and 7.2 mm of precipitation.

This morning, snow is still lying above about 150 metres in the Church
Stretton area. Roads in the area between Bayston Hill and Church
Stretton were very icy off the main routes.
