Saw quite a few snow boarders on the slopes of Hay Tor this afternoon. They
were good too, doing turns etc.
Got lost earlier as could not see the paths in the deep snow and it was
thick fog with circa 100 metres visibility.
Managed to use the GPS on my phone and map and compass to get back on track.
Just shows.
Main road has been ploughed and is now clear right over the top at 400
metres.
T -0.3C but felt quite icy on top of Low Man which is climbable without
crampons using the built in rungs.

I know, I'm going to beat my 23cm snow depth record. But by how much?

It's only sleet on Haldon at 200m ASL, a bit dissapointed as it's starting to wash away the snow that fell earlier.

It'll turn David as the heavy stuff has not reached there yet. Feb 2009
event started as rain!
And we all know what happened after that.
Moderate to heavy snow up here now at 1935.

Haldon is shrouded in fog, & my car thermometer was reading 0.0c, yet it still wasn't snow at 19:15.

Just checked the latest radar & it looks like the event is all but over for Haldon www.raintoday.co.uk
