Default [WR] - Thunder- Brampton

Joe

Yesterday 5th April - initial Snow line was about 2,400 in other words the
tops of Crossfell, Great Dun Fell, (1100hrs) the snow that fell from the
shower fell down to approx 1700ft ( 1530hrs)

I.m not up there today, fells currently covered in cloud on my side, in
steady rain temp +5c, suggests snowfall again on the tops
