I reckon that if we do still get clipped by a snow shower here it will settle, the grass has turned white and the graupel from the last shower is still there.

Grass is still completely white this morning. Looks like there were a few more graupel/snow showers in the early hours going by radar. Will be good to see hills this morning once daylight breaks, I expect they will have a good coating on the upper half. Just over 1cm on the lawn and 2cm on the cars and picnic table.
