----------------------------------------------------------------

0630z 16009kt 30km 1Sc020 6Ac100 -01.9/-02.6 1004
RMK: A raw morning. 4 cm of frozen snow on the ground and
there's quite a bit of frozen slush on untreated roads and
pavements.

0900z 16012g25kt 30km 1Sc030 7Ac100 -00.2/-01.8 1002
RMK: Middle cloud is steadily thickening. The wind is bitter.
4 cm lying snow, looking a bit moth-eaten.
09-09z: Tx +2.2 (1310z) Tn -5.2 (0130z) RR 2.3
15-09z: Tg -7.9 00-24z: Sun 0.0

1700z 16017g33kt 2000 -DZ BR 8St004 +02.0/+01.7 997
RMK: One of the most unpleasant days of the winter. Slight to
moderate snow continued till midday then became slight sleet.
Around 1430z it turned to drizzle and that has continued
for the rest of the afternoon. A bitter wind all day, frequently
gusting over 30 knots. 3 cm of lying snow with a slow thaw
continuing. Walking around the village is still quite
hazardous due to stretches of thick ice. This formed as a
result of hard-packed snow partly thawing then re-freezing
several times. This process has left stretches of thick hard
ice. It's very lumpy and it's like walking on oily cobbles,
only much slippier than that. Max temp 2.0° so far but it's
still creeping up.
