The radar picture is interesting, with some clearly defined "streaks" running NW to SE across the Wales and the SW. Looks like parts of Hampshire and Sussex are also getting some substantial precipitation, unusually with the wind in this direction. (And the area round the Great Glen seems to be getting a real pasting.) -- John Hall "Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin" Sir Josiah Stamp, a former president of the Bank of England |

Bar 1011 hPa ================ 1045 Temp 3.8 deg C Dewpoint 1 deg C Wind (est 10m) northwesterly 23 knots gust 40 knots Light sleet showers Snow cover now disappeared and eveywhere looks green. Still some snow cover around Hay Tor summit (looking out of top bedroom window). Patches of snow/hail where it has blown. Warm sunshine in between showers but wind is fierce and is almost certainly storm force above 500m (so not a day for venturing high on Dartmoor unless you have Arctic clothing and plenty of experience and good equipment). Rainfall 4.8 mm since midnight (AWS) (but some missed due to horizontal snow) Bar 1011 hPa steady Will. -- " Visit Haytor meteorological office at http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...met_office.htm " ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A COL BH site in East Dartmoor at Haytor, Devon 310m asl (1017 feet). mailto: www: http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk DISCLAIMER - All views and opinions expressed by myself are personal and do not necessarily represent those of my employer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
