Even as a retired professional the speed at which the snow has disappeared since about 1030 am has surprised me. Just very small patches left in the shade. My back garden was 95% covered with 3-4 cm around 8.15 am and now has just some patches, 1-2 cm in the shade. Had it been December into late January it would have been very different.

[Snowyowl9]

A min of -3.1c with an extra covering of snow drifting continued all night.

Today cloudy start odd flurry general drifting until about 10am that stopped beside one place from a long stretch of fields that stopped by about midday as the sun was pretty strong.

About 80% cover now max 3.2c icy in the shade though,very windy from the NE this afternoon.

[The PIT]

A very cold again although not as cold as previous days. Sunny spells have a resulted in a steady thaw but snow hung on very well considering it was melting with sub zero temperatures Saturday and a slush base on Sunday morning.
