Well I went out in horizontal heavy snow this afternoon to walk the
dog and all I was wearing was a non-waterproof top and ordinary
trousers. Just shook the snow off when I got home and my
coat/trousers were practically dry. No gloves or hat as it wasn't
cold enough at circa 1C or thereabouts. But I did have my hood up so
I could see facing into the snow. Perhaps the snow was very wet at Dunkeswell?
You are totally bonkers. 
The dog had to be walked John.
I was thinking more of your clothing, and in particular the lack of
gloves. Maybe your circulation is better than mine. I like walking in
snow, but only if I'm wrapped up warmly.
Mind you she did screw up here eyes walking straight into the snow.
But yes it was fun! It's safe too being less than half a mile from
home. That was also far more enjoyable than horizontal rain that *does*
require good waterproofs, which I have as they are essential for living
on Dartmoor.
Yes, anything is better than horizontal rain.
