On way to work, it began to snow as we passed the bookshop, and 5 min later the roads and paths were visibly white, and 10 min later everything was bright white. Perhaps ½" of snow in 10 minutes. As so often these last few weeks, it didn't last more than a few hours, but it was impressive. Haven't seen serious snow in March before.

In the evening very cold indeed but very clear, Sirius like a blue jewel, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Capella all glittering away too.
