Glad you're OK Nick, must have been quite scary.

Roads tricky up here on Dartmoor this morning with snow and ice.

It really is a super day and actually feels warm sat out in the sun, well
wrapped up of course.

Take care,

Will

A crisp, sunny day with the frost and ice not thawing in the shade.

Driving home in the early hours (around 01:30) after the wife's Xmas works
do was an experience and a half. It was raining heavily but the rain had
frozen on contact with the ground leaving ice covered by rainwater. Not so
bad along the A30 where it had been salted but exiting on the slip road
was treacherous. As soon as we left the carriageway the car went into a
spin and just carried on spinning all the way down the slip road,
eventually coming to a stop at the bottom. The roads are still bad and it
seems everybody is staying at home today. I hope it melts before tomorrow
as going to work in the morning could be rather interesting.

Overnight minimum was -4.2°C.

Lovely in the bright, warm sunshine but the grass/ground has remained
frozen all day.

(13:25), 3.3°C, RH 79%, DP -0.1°C, 1001 hPa (S), Wind 7 mph W.
