It has been forecast that way for days.

Temp still 1.5 approx, just had a snow/hail shower and I am hopeful that from now it will become snow.

The early hours of Friday are looking more and more interesting too.

I think it's heavier at the cross keys rather than the church

Although the old Original would beat them both.
