Tideswell, Derbyshire - Monday 5th March 2018
----------------------------------------------------------------

0630z 18003 0400 FG 8St002 +01.2/+01.0 987
RMK: A claggy morning with a very slow thaw in progress.
There's still lots of deep snow on the ground but the cover is
now less than 50%. It's an anomaly in the system whereby today
won't count as a 'snow lying' day, even though there are
still roads blocked by deep drifts, but a day with a uniform
slight dusting would count. The rules appear to assume that
snowfall always produces an even cover and do not address the
situation in which dry powdery snow falls with a strong wind
blowing.
