Watching a pristine layer of snow, slowly melt away before the cold air
returns. All very sad.
Some of you in the SE have my commiserations :-)

When will that be then? A walk round the Nature Reserve this morning and
there was six inches of cover and snow on the branches. Went sledging this
evening with my daughter and the boys. Perfect conditions in the
mountainous region of S.Essex at a heady 80 metres ;-). Gonna take a while
to shift I think.

Hi Dave, great stuff! Never too old to sledge, what fun it is, especially
with grandchildren, I'm not jealous of your snow (always get snow somewhere
on Dartmoor every winter guaranteed), but I am of you being a grandad, I'd
so love that, are you listening daughter, get on with it!!! :-)

You're right it will take some shifting with the wet-bulb falling below zero
on Wednesday and clearing skies, allowing a crust to form. Nice one!

Cheers,
Will
