Was woken at about 0300 by the sound of heavy rain driving against the
windows. Looks outside and what little snow we had was busily melting.
0600 lightning and a clap of thunder, but no other sound, except the
wind. Looked out and it was white over again with very heavy snow.
Sleet and snow now.

The roads are completely covered. The early heavy rain has washed the
salt off. Just the worst conditions for the highways agency. Hoping
for gritters soon, as I have to get to Exeter for 0900! That may have
to be curtailed. Goodness knows what conditions are like on Dartmoor
with this. The weather radar says it all!

Haldon Hill is currently closed in both directions due to snow.
