Hi, All,

The sunshine continues, another 9hr yesterday makes 24hr in the past 3 days.
The constant radiation through the very clear sky means little snow melt in the Lead Mill area of the village.
The gusty winds and big temperature fluctuations of yesterday seem to have gone for now, although the Dun Fell station 20 miles west continues to show the temperature variation.

Good point about the outgoing radiation during the day. In effect it's night if you're in the shade provided there is little wind. Presumably the Lead Mill site receives very little sun in the winter.
Here, there is no weather. 8/8 Sc 2000-2500 ft. No wind to speak of.
