Ken. Sadly I didn't.
A troublesome anemometer at the end of last month distracted my attention, I
had to buy a new one and site it, so the rain gague heater became priority
No.2. I've got the bulbs for it (I'm planning to use two) - just need an
outdoor extension cable and then a bit of time to set it up.

A partial thaw here again today - but still holidng onto 4 or 5 inches
lying. Icicles began forming yesterday from some roofs and they have
lengthened today. The cover here is fairly even - as the wind has been no
more than a gentle breeze throughout. It's thawing over concrete surfaces
faster though and roads in the area have remained in a very good condition.

6 inches / 15cm of prime white snow lying here this morning.

Hi, Alex,

Did you get the rain gauge heater set up? Mine's worked quite well
during the past few days. A bit of a time lag, but better than nothing
and it gives a rough guide from indoors which appeals to me!

ATB,
