Temperature still seems very high though!

[Mark]

Woke at 3:30 as if the body knew and it had just started as a asleety mix. Now all light snow and settling on cars... And with another check of the perfectly positioned lamppost its definitely getting harder with larger flakes and just starting to settle on the ground :-)

Not settling here yet but I'm seeing a build up of the icy goodness that tells me that it's going to start any minute!

[jethro]

Morning Rich and welcome.

I'm going back to bed, usually I'd scowl in the dark at the rattling slates, tonight/morning I can drift off with a smile, knowing they're rattling for a good reason. Enjoy watching and waiting folks.

[Zephyr]

Last radar image from me might get told off ! Looking good!
