Hail, sleet and snow showers overnight, remains of ice on velux.
Sprinkling of snow on the moor.
Quite bright with a F3-4 W wind with showers building again to my
west.

Snow shower in progress, flakes getting bigger. Temp +1.5C.
Postbridge is turning white and that is where we are due to start our
regular Sunday walk. Fantastic!

Heavy snow shower circa 0905-0940 deposited 2-3cm wet sticky snow on all
surfaces, road was covered quickly but no problems driving. Rest of the
morning had a few light snow showers and this afternoon has been mainly
sunny with the temperature rocketing up to +5.1C . More showers around
looking outside now but these will be mostly rain I think.

A lovely day with good visibility once the snow stopped.
