Started about 3-4 minutes ago, and continuing. Light, but the wind is
blowing the snow around quite impressively. Medium-sized flakes. Temp has
fallen rapidly from 3.8°C to 2.2°C since it started. Not settling
anywhere. A real surprise to see this in my location today!

A real surprise because Bewdley rarely does well out of these showers,
whereas parts of the W Mids a bit further N/NE (and especially with a
little more altitude) usually catch quite a few. Anyway, it's stopped now
and the sky is brighter.

And now it's snowing again, albeit very lightly.

Stopped again, and the sky looks clear to the NW now, so that probably
concludes our excitement for the moment.

Or maybe not! We've just had the heaviest shower of the day: a 10-minute
flurry with large flakes that has left a dusting on grass, car roofs and
exposed pavements. Not really melting either; temp down to 0.8°C.

And it's virtually all still there, as I suppose you'd expect given the
conditions. Now -1.0°C and dry with broken cloud.
