The mildest 9a.m. so far this year, with an overnight min. of +1.4. However, it's cloudy with light rain. There's a bit less snow & ice around, but it is still classed as a day of "snow lying" as more than 50% of the ground at the same altitude remains covered with snow.It should become the mildest day of 2011 to date today!!(big deal).
