Friday 30/01/15 Report

Further snowfalls overnight meant a similar start to yesterday. This time the snow arrived in the early hours and formed from bigger flakes, to a depth of around 2cm. By 7am the spine road through the estate was slushy but driveable.

After cloud early on, skies broke up nicely to give some good spells of sunshine, helping to thaw the snow on the ground.  Throughout the day, there were occasional light showers, just enough to register on our equipment.  Feeling cold in a brisk north-northwesterly breeze.
