But it is the low soil temperatures that I find interesting.
At 1800 UTC:

50cm +3.0C
30cm +2.7C
10cm +1.7C

Hello, Will,
Copley 09Z today 1st April:-
5cm 0.0C
10cm 0.8C
30cm 2.2C
50cm not recorded
100cm 3.3C

Copley Lead Mill:-
30cm 1.5C

Snow cover keeps our soil and earth temperatures up but when it melts,
after an initial drop things will soon recover and my veg patch will shoot
ahead.
You have to be an optimist in these parts. Pleased you enjoyed your trip
"up north" even though you missed the best bit.

I always find that rain raises the soil temps. quickly. Soil is very dry at
present.
Yep I guess the closest I got to Copley was Shap on the M6 :-)
