temp now +0.2C, depth 3cm.

Maxxed out at around +4C (on the car guage, so pinch of salt) before it hit - was preoccupied with customer on phone so didn't check the temp. when I got back from lunch, then the snow hit!

From previous threads it was the way it suddenly changed from rain to soft
hail. Then we had two claps of thunder and everything was white within 30
mins, traffic in Bedford has now ground to a halt

Still snowing, will be interesting to see how the Highways Agency deals with
this as it's the same time of the day as last year and if they have not
presalted they will be stuck in traffic.

Now at 0.4 and pressure rising

Eased off now - looks like gridlock on the roads out there! Ah - the joys of working from home, I decided not to visit customers today!
