RMK: There's about 2cm of fresh snow so the total depth is
something like 12cm with drifts to 2m and more. It looks
like there was some freezing rain or drizzle before the snow
as many surfaces are coated in ice. The temperature is
creeping up so we might not manage a 4th consecutive 09-09z
ice day.

Complete transformation here. 10C at 09:45, coupled with light winds & sunshine. That's close to 14C warmer than at was at the same time on 1st, when it was also blowing a near gale!
The excellent visibility & deep colours you often get near the centre of a low.
