After that nice amount of snow yesterday things have eased off for this morning. I have just about 1cm more to add since my report yesterday. I thought it would be more than that because it was coming down at quite a rate at some points during the day.
This morning felt really cold early on and outside it has been icy too. I am guessing the coldest of the autumn/winter so far. There is quite a lot of cloud around now, but some blue sky still with the sun at least trying to break through at times.
We might get some rain later on today. Forecasts don't seem to show much potential for significant snow in the coming week. Basically, don't be too surprised if the current lovely snow turns into slush and then disappears, at least at lower areas.
Whatever happens, I will keep you updated.
