morning!


Hi, Paul,


Expect a lot of bets on Snowy Morning (16/1 currently) but Cloudy Lane
(5/1) a much better forecast imho (;0)

Rats about the National! Even the beeb has reduced us to no snow in
their updated advisory! Not going well! Think I might start on the
Merlot early...........

Snowing in the Midlands. Should I choose a lamp post?

Didn't need to choose a lamp post; snow in Dawlish this morning in the
daylight! Heaviest snow in the 9 years we've been here. we got about
1cm! It was enough for us to leave snowmen on all the 3 picnic benches
in the woods and one on the boot of the car......which is happily now
surveying a scene where the only snow is in very shaded areas and on
the rooftops! It's almost gone already. The best type of snow. Snows;
go out; have great fun larking around, throwing snowballs and building
snowmen; get cold; go in and have several cups of tea and a bacon
sarnie; watch the snow quickly melting and that's it for another year!
We might get more snow showers today, but we'd be lucky to see any
settling.

The precipitation started as soft hail, turned to snow, ended as snow,
then we got a shower of semolina! (I kid you not, I'm sure that
graupel/sleet was actually cold semolina!

Great fun. Loved every minute of it. Now for the spring and summer.
