[Thundery wintry showers]

0.9C and fairly light snow spreading from the west, currently starting to get heavier. The overnight minimum was 0.7C, so pretty marginal conditions.

There was about 80% snow cover, about a centimetre deep, at 0900 which made this the first official "snow lying day" of the winter here. Snow cover is now down just below 50% following a slow thaw after 8am, but if the current snow gets much heavier it should start to settle.

There is a thick layer of stratus and it is rather misty at the moment.
