Fareham, 0600: Contiinuous light fine fluffy snowflakes are falling in
almost calm conditions - presumeably from high-ish cloud as it moves
South. There's now been been 10 hours of continuous air frost with
mostly clear skies and and a hoar frost. Current temperature 0.0 deg
C., overnight minimum -2.0 deg C.

Therefore, it's lying 100% on *all* surfaces, which dry, albeit very
thin (translucent white) and unmeasurable so far. Blow on it and it
blows away! Still, beggars can't be choosers - we may get a rare day
of snow lying, by 9 am!

06:45

Snow has *almost* stopped but a few flakes can still be seen. Very
thin 100% sno cover persists, 0.0 deg C, light Northerly. Getting
light now, very nice scene

0830: Slight sleet. The second band of light snow turned sleety within
minutes of it starting at 08:20 - and melted all remaining snow
remnants before 08:30. Temperature +0.5 deg C.

No snow day, now why does that not surprise me? Ho hum.
