Rain and overnight snow with the freezing level at around 800 metres. So, today precipitation fell as snow mostly above 550 metres with rain at lower elevations. The winds were strong from a Westerly direction giving much more wintry conditions than of late. Visibility came and went especially in the morning, there were some clearer bright spells the afternoon.
