Well, it just started pissing down with something that bears a vague resembalence to snow here. I got back from shopping on a rather windy night, and the instant I stepped out of the car there was a noise like vacuum cleaner, the wind doubled in speed, and I got sandblasted by little pieces of ice going past sideways at about 40 miles an hour. It's not even all that cold (0.1 deg. C), but it's certainly trying to get as much coverage as possible in a short time. By the time I'd unloaded the shopping, which took no more than about 3 minutes, there was already about 5mm of show on the ground.
