After an early evening snow shower, which gave about 1cm of lying snow, much of the night was dry with clear periods. Further snow showers arrived from the west early this morning and gave a spell of moderate snow before dawn resulting in a 'winter wonderland' scene for a couple of hours with trees and everything else covered with snow

The showers were accompanied by thick hill fog from 0700-0845 but the fog lifted and the cloud broke from 0930 and the morning has been dry with sunny spells. A fairly rapid thaw in the sun and a slow one in the shade.
