Default Dawlish: no snow, no frosty surfaces, but a dessicating northerly.

We've force 5 northerly, rocking the trees and it has dried things up
amazingly. A real drying wind. I could cut the grass later with this!
It didn't get below freezing in Teignmouth (0.5C min) and no scraping
of cars this morning. Missus has gone running but she's mad.


No frost!

Different world up here Paul, everywhere is frozen solid with a penetrating
moderate frost.
Still -2.7C at 0830 with a bitter wind (-3.1C at Postbridge higher up). This
bodes well for when the Atlantic air returns as the airmass at altitude is
jolly cold, I think we will get the hordes coming up onto the moor on Sunday
to sledge in the powder after the fall on Saturday night.
