Much the same in Cranleigh, as far as I've been able to judge by pulling
back a curtain in an unlit room every 20 minutes or so and peering out..


With not all the automatic stations reporting hourly on the Met Office's
webpage for the SE reliably giving the current weather, I've realised
that the visibility that they are reporting is probably providing a fair
idea of whether it's snowing and how heavily. For example, Heathrow
isn't shown as having snow falling at 2100, but the visibility of 0.8 km
is a bit of a give-away.

Moderate to Heavy snow. Est 5cms. M00/M01.

Probably another couple of hours before the back edge. Looks like the
Met O forecast was spot on for here.

Yep. At Cranleigh we finished up with about 8-9cm (I haven't actually
measured it). There's a /very/ slow thaw this morning, with an overcast
sky. The snow is "sticky", tending to adhere to the shovel when I was
clearing my path this morning. I imagine that it would be ideal for
making snowmen or snowballs.
