Great morning to be at home.


Sunny with patches of low cloud, giving fog on the moor.
Temp. +6.3C and soaring, could be the warmest day of the year so
far today as it might get above 10C if the cloud stays away
(unlikely)! Min. +2.1C with a ground frost.


Most snow now gone, but some stubborn extensive patches on the moor
in deep gullies.


Some primroses out and one or two bulbs starting to poke through.
Grass and weeds not growing (thankfully) and soil is still very
cold (below 5C at all levels). Unlikely to see daffs by St David's
Day this year, indeed might not see them till April. I'm working on
Easter as the most likely time for start of Spring (according to
flowers etc) up here on the cold moorland tundra.

Are you still going for another cold snap, Will. Perhaps turning
cold again around March 2?


Oh yes, I'm sticking to my guns, despite model runs!
Meanwhile, enjoy, and make the most of this Spring taster.
