Despite the amber warning of snow, woke up to a Spring Clean job this

Just a dusting.


Nothing here, not even a dusting. All surfaces bone-dry and
snow/precipitation free.


A maximum of just 3.4°C here today, that's the coldest March day I've
recorded by miles (since my records began in 2005).


The Davis weather thingy is telling me it is now 'Uncomfortably Cold'.
With a brisk NE wind and an extremely low DP (almost record) with a
temperature of -0.8°C, I couldn't agree more.


(20:30), -0.8°C, RH 66%, DP -6.6°C, 1007 hPa (R), Wind 13 mph NE.


2130 T -4.1C DP -8.1C here in Haytor.
Max. today -0.8C so another ice day this winter.
Still my study was nice and comfortable today at 11C. Living room up to 18C
with the log fire, so really toasty!

So your study was at a "comfortable" 11°C and 18°C is "toasty".
Are we supposed to be impressed?

Well I am. I found 10C just about tolerable with extra layers on.

I also don't know how he manages to have an east facing bedroom window
open in these conditions and still manages to sleep comfortably. It must
get well down into single figures in his bedroom. I would suspect this
would put him close to a nationwide record in terms of cold tolerance :-).
