BRACKNELL (TF)
0900 NE F3-4 12km RE-SN 5/CU 7/SC T011D-001
RMK: -SN (light snow), which had continued since just before 06Z,
ceased by 0845Z ... slight additional cover: see depths below. Sc is
7+ cover - small gaps seen, and there may be something else above.
[ OVERNIGHT DATA (18Z - 09Z):
screen min: 00.2 grass min: -01.5 precipitation: 3.9
other data: average snow depth over grass: 3cm, max depth just over
4cm: but, over roads, paving etc., very patchy with large areas nil.]=
1200 NE F4 25km - 4/CU T027D-023
RMK: Cu hum, isol med; otherwise fine/sunny - a keen wind. Much of
the overnight snow has melted - we must have had some of the most
persistent, as in the fields etc., around Warfield/North Bracknell,
hardly any snow.=
1500 NE F4 30km 12kmNE -SHRASN 2/CU 4/CU T036D-039
RMK: sleet shower reducing visibility upwind; low base CU assw
precipitation (around 1500ft); in addition, 2 oktas SC. We have had a
couple of -SHSN in past 3 hours: no effect on surface. All but a few
patches of snow have now gone. Hard surfaces either dry or drying
rapidly.=
1800 NE F3 40km - 1/CU 3/SC T014D-018
RMK: distant CU med, otherwise sky fairly placid - 1 okta lower SC
also present - probably Cugen; hard surfaces mixed, some damp, some
dry in about equal measure. Scrappy snow showers past 3 hours, none of
which accumulated snow, so we have no snow cover presently on any
surface: grass min. thermo. reading just above zero presently.
[ DAYTIME DATA (09Z - 18Z):
screen max: 03.1 precipitation: 0.1]=

2100 NE F4-5 50km - 3/CU T007D-026
RMK: all paved surfaces now dry; Cu hum only (with Cu fra/ragged);
also 1 okta Sc in distance. Grass min. thermo reading -0.2degC, though
it has been lower.=
