Watching a pristine layer of snow, slowly melt away before the cold air
returns. All very sad. Some of you in the SE have my commiserations :-) http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm Will Hand (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) --------------------------------------------- |

I am still happy that the drifts and the ditches full of snow will remian for some considerable time to come at these temperatures. Would be nice to see a frost again though, and maybe lose the fog for a few minutes. Paul - Moulton Seas End, SE Lincolnshire |

A walk round the Nature Reserve this morning and there was six inches of cover and snow on the branches. Went sledging this evening with my daughter and the boys. Perfect conditions in the mountainous region of S.Essex at a heady 80 metres ;-). Gonna take a while to shift I think. Dave. 0.4C Dp 0.0C |

Roads were glistening as I cycled home suggesting the ground is starting to re-freeze. More of a thaw at low levels, in Horsham the snow depth is down to about an inch. A group of us may go swimming in the outdoor pool at work tomorrow lunchtime. The water temperature as measured today was 2C. |

Yesterday, on the pavements was very slushy, my shoes and feet were soaking wet. This morning was foggy, later on it cleared to give an overcast sky. The only snow left is in clumps from people's drives and north facing gardens. Joe Egginton Wolverhampton |

Some of you in the SE have my commiserations :-) Surely watching it melt away knowing that zonality was coming would be even sadder? At least this is only a temporary incursion of mild air for you, and really just a partial thaw for me. I fully expect there still to be full snow cover here (albeit very depleted) by the end of the week. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |

Never too old to sledge, what fun it is, especially with grandchildren, I'm not jealous of your snow (always get snow somewhere on Dartmoor every winter guaranteed), but I am of you being a grandad, I'd so love that, are you listening daughter, get on with it!!! :-) You're right it will take some shifting with the wet-bulb falling below zero on Wednesday and clearing skies, allowing a crust to form. Nice one! Cheers, Will -- |

For the purposes of weather observations I'm using the vacant neighbouring house's garden. At 9am this morning still a full cover though now down to a sugary 5cm. Yesterday it was 9.5cm, the day before 15cm! With the return of the continental air the remaining slush has frozen and I now expect it to last till the end of the week |
