RMK: That's 3 consecutive 09-09z 'ice' days. That's pretty
remarkable for the time of year. There's been a little
fresh snow overnight but nothing significant. There's
probably the equivalent of 10cm of lying snow. Once the
thaw does come we'll almost certainly end up with less
than 50% cover despite still having huge amounts of snow
on the ground. One result of the very strong winds of the
past 2 days is that all of our east-facing windows have a
thick coating of salt on them. I suppose it could be road
salt but I think it's much more likely to be from sea
spray. The Lincolnshire coast is 80-90 miles east of here.
Given the strength of the wind the travel time from the coast
to here would have been 2 hours at most so it certainly does
seem plausible.
09-09z: Tx -1.8 (1220z) Tn -3.4 (0350z) RR 1.0
15-09z: Tg -3.4 00-24z: Sun 0.0
