RMK: Wow! Welcome to spring. These are potentially
life-threatening conditions were you to have the misfortune
of getting caught out in them. It's absolutely perishing
out there. There's no level snow but I would guess that the
amount of snow corresponds to something like 15cm of level
depth. There's drifts up to 50cm around the house. Outside the
village drifts are now undoubtedly up to 2 metres or more now.

0900z 07022g35kt 0300 SN BLSN VV/// -05.3/-06.0 1008
RMK: This is now an event of some significance. Continuous
moderate snow since before dawn with considerable drifting.
I'll make a guess at 20cm of lying snow. Around the house
drifts are now approaching 1 metre. I haven't investigated
any further afield! There's no sensible way of measuring the
rainfall so the rainfall figure below is just an estimate.
I doubt if we'll see a snow plough while this lot continues.
It would be a bit of a futile exercise.
09-09z: Tx -4.2 (1105z) Tn -7.6 (2120z) RR 15.0 (estimated)
15-09z: Tg -8.7 00-24z: Sun 0.4
