Been out for a walk: roads running OK ... all treated roads fine,
others PWC but the care is needed!

Seems to have turned to rain or possibly sleet in the Southampton
area. Lows coming in from the southwest are almost guaranteed not to
produce snow round here, even if the mild air doesn't get in - just
about all our falls are from winds with a northerly component.

Weird because there has been nearly a foot of snow in sub-tropical Exeter!

Yes I wonder about that - Devon, even lowland Devon with onshore winds
- has at least a couple of times in the last two winters got much more
snow in these setups than Hampshire. It seems to be something to do
with the paths of these lows, they seem to become slow moving
somewhere between Devon and Hampshire quite often, meaning Devon gets
stuck in cold snowy NElies while Hampshire gets (relatively) mild, wet
SElies.

Am hoping the clearance will arrive asap now - a truly horrible day
here.

Thats ok, my folks live at the edge of West Moors down the end of a long
bumpy lane and they hardly ever see the recycling van!
Popped over there about 1600 and it was pretty disgusting.. cold rain and
everything underfoot turning to slush. Hate it when that happens!! Think if
it had all been snow we probably would have had some 6-8 inches.
Max of 4.4c here in Bournemouth and most of the snow has gone.

Jim, Bournemouth.
