The idyllic West Country. You picked the right decade to move. After a
pleasant summer holiday there and a few others beside now you have the
winters as well. East Anglian weather of my schoolday geography books and
childhood memories has now moved west. I must sort out my extended family
and move down there before the dire cold wet summers of the seventies
return!

1900

Temp -0.4 deg C
Dewpoint -3 deg C
Day Max +0.6 deg C
Night Min -2.7 deg C
Snow depth 2 cm full cover.
Rainfall equivalent 3.9 mm (suspect far too low, due to snow blowing over
the
gauge).

Sledging was in full swing on Hay Tor this afternoon with hordes of people
and
convoys of cars going up and down the hill. Snow depth 7 cm above 400m,
there
was even some ice scrambling as well on the south west edge of the Tor.
Some
snow lying at low levels looking south as Ian H. reported. Snow showers
late
afternoon has topped up the snow a bit which has not melted at all during
the
day.
Significant well below freezing wind chill on the exposed moor.

So tonight we are looking east with up to 10 cm forecast for Dartmoor.

Will.
