Not much left now.

Still a few sizeable deep patches though, managed to walk over hard
compacted snow near Princetown today. Most snow seems to be around the
high
Tors and in deep eastern facing gullies. It will be interesting to see
how
long it lasts.

They are natural, still the odd man-made snow pile around roadsides etc.

but they don't count!

As of earlier today, there was still one tiny sad patch of snow on Cleeve
Hill - though there could be more lurking on the north-facing slopes out
of my line-of-sight.

Quite a lot more lurking on the north facing slopes
of quarries and depressions. One path through the
quarry below the 15th green was impassible to
golf trolleys with drifts of up to 2 feet on Saturday.
I expect the snow will be there for a while yet unless
we get some rain.
