[WR] Haytor 5/1/06 (full snow cover high up)
sleety rain and drizzle here in Plympton. May turn to snow if that
moderate burst in the channel up wind of us hits.

Temperature has stayed between 0.0 and +1.5 deg C all day. Light
snow/snow grains for most of day, however, dry and damp now. Sun
popped
out for a while this afternoon but then the fog and snow rolled back
in
within the hour just as I was out walking. Managed to get myself lost
on Bagtor Down in thick fog and snow grains which was embarrasing.
Snow
line is around 330m asl and it is quite white above 400m with a
sprinkling of snow. Powder snow on Rippon Tor summit at 474m (circa
1600 feet) where the temperature was below freezing this afternoon.
Rippon Tor is the highest place I can walk to on the afternoon dog
walk. Just a sprinkling of snow on the grass here at home and it is
mostly damp and rather raw.
Ah well, will see what the dawn brings tomorrow!
Will (Haytor, Dartmoor, Devon, 310m asl)
