Default {WR} Dartmoor 21/01/09 (More snow then rain)

Princetown at circa 400m asl was probably the snowiest town in England this
morning with 3-4cm fresh snow lying. Other parts of the high northern moor
(above 500m asl) also had a good cover, shining white in the morning
sunshine. Haytor Rocks and other parts further south and east had circa 1cm
with just a sprinkling over ice at my altitude but still another morning
with 50% snow cover, albeit very thin. Snow/ice/frost persisted at altitude
(350m asl) until midday and then melted quickly. Now at 1700 it is cold
rain and increasing wind. Temperature here is +5.0C with continuous light
rain and a F3-4 SSE wind.
