Meteorologically interesting of course but that would be

late March, it's been cold for so long, where's spring??


Not there at all Col. There's been nothing to suggest it and all we
can be hopeful for is a nicer day, or two this week.

Will is ramping, as he always does, the possibility of the most
extreme snow conditions he can. We've had so many posts this and in
other winters from him about Dartmoor (and other) blizzards, that I
think we all know it's silly, but he'll get it right once - the law
of averages will kick in.


There's a lot of talk on TWO about snow and cold, and it can't all be
'ramping'. Besides Will only ever mentioned the 'possibility' of blizzards,
it wasn't a forecast as such.

Hoping for not too bad a day here near the centre of the low where
conditions can sometimes be reasonable. However rain only just
cleared but starting to brighten up a touch. Temp a chilly 3.2°C.
