A benign cloudy night with the temperature soaring to +2.6C under the
cloud. Bits of precip. but unsure of phase as I was asleep, I would
guess drizzle. Now at 0810 we have a F3 ENE wind and temperature is
falling.
T+1.2C D+1.1C.

Very gloomy. House lights on. 8/8 StSc
T+1.6C D+1.5C
Wind ENE F3-4.
Inside temp. +11.8C (had to whack on the heating because the east
wind seems to penetrate the structure more).

Still gloomy. House lights still on.
T+2.2C D+1.8C
Wind ENE F3.

Light snow now falling. But it came from the east off Lyme Bay.
Note that stuff from NW is still marching down and given that it is
snowing now, it will snow when that lot comes down later today. Take a
note please David Braine.
T+1.8C and falling. D+1.7C

Snow is getting heavier with ice pellets mixed in. Seems to be
development now with a line of convergence from Lyme Bay into the old
occlusion which is still pretty active.
T+1.6C and still falling.
Snow not settling - yet.
