[The PIT]

Surprise Snow this morning first of the winter

temp 0.6c wind zero depth unknown poss inch.

[Terminal Moraine]

About 2cm of lying snow here and a few flakes still drifting down. The secondary low coming into the south west last night must have been a bit further north than forecast to have produced this.

For a month which hasn't yet given any really cold weather it's been a remarkably good one so far for snowfalls even though they've all been light.

[knocker]
