Is there snow on the way! Hmmm, I'll believe it when I see it.

Unlikely at your altitude Nick.

Temp now 4.4C at 1605 and falling slowly.

Dartmoor doesn't need easterlies for snow a decent cold westerly with 850hPa
temps below -3C usually does the job above 350m asl!

Make the most of it if there is, looks like raging zonality will be back
next week!

Mind you it's about par for January these days the month has become a
joke!

Just looked at my data since 1989 and December has a mean of 3.6c (3.6c)
while January is now up to 3.8c (2.8c). I know February now has a mean
of 4.0c (2.8c) but at least we still get more snow.
Since 1989, January snow falling days have been reduced to 4, which is
the same amount we get in March!

Average snow falling and lying days since 1989 are as follows:

Jan 4 (8) 3 (7)
Feb 6 (8) 4 (7)
Dec 5 (6) 3 (4)

All 1961-90 means in brackets.
