A fine winters day and I have taken a day off work to enjoy it!

Sprinkling of snow at my altitude but looks to be a bit more higher
up. Haytor rocks shining white in the sun.
1cm snow at Postbridge.

Temp +0.9C
DP -1C
SCT Cu/Cb
Vis 30Km
Wind W F2

Radar showing a line of snow showers (at altitude) out to the west.

Gorgeous day. Worth staying off work for looking at the mild wet
forecast. Mainly sunny, dry, snow sprinkles still lying in the shade.
SCT Cu/Cb
Temp +3.9C and starting to trigger local Cbs.
Distant snow showers earlier (just north of Princetown) with high
moor shining white.

Off now to split some more logs and keep warm :-)
Ssshhh don't tell the Met Office that *that* middle aged geezer is
chopping wood again :-)
