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

Sounds nice, but it's not all sledging mate !


In a previous post I highlighted how boring the weather was here in
Winchester and this last spell has simply confirmed this. To be fair a
couple of superb days last week with bone dry and beautifully clear air but
when the front arrived we got the usual snow/sleet which had all gone by
Sunday morning. (Incidentally I thought the MO forecast for last week was
fantastically accurate, apart from the usual OTT warnings).

Since then the worst sort of winter weather; cold and grey and damp!

However the reality of this newsgroup presently is that you don't need snow
to go sledging, being opinionated is sufficient!
