Just got back from a walk over to Rough Tor and a few others. Very wet
underfoot made the going a bit hard at times. There was a dusting of snow on
the higher parts with a few lovely icicles on the granite boulders of the
tors. You had to be well protected from the brisk wind which was numbing. I
took my glove off to take a photo and it quickly became numb within just a
few seconds; a significant wind-chill to say the least.

Weather changed quite quickly from bright conditions to mist and rain at
around 15:30 with a strong southerly picking up. Glad to get back to the car
which was parked at Two Bridges as the weather was really closing in by
then. Noticed there were cars still parked along the road, a few still out
on the moors in the fading light, cloud and rain; rather them than me!

Now back in the tropics. I see we had a max of 8.6C here in the Otter Valley
today and nearly 6 hours of sunshine and just a gentle breeze. Rather
different to the conditions on the high moors!

Currently (19:00), 6.0C, RH 82%, DP 3.2C, 1012.4 hPa (F), Wind 4 mph S.
