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.

Still patches of snow in the Iron Age earthwork ditches
surrounding the 13th green, overlooking Cheltenham.


A few patches left on Dartmoor, but 99% gone now.
Mild weather (for late February) with temperatures 7-9C have put paid to it.
