Default [WR] Haytor 29/12/05 1630 (1cm full snow cover)

Posting via Google.

Well a bit of a damp squib really. Temperature fell to just below
freezing when main snow on first occlusion set in but never got past
light snow. By 1515 it was very fine stuff. Still snowing finely now
but it is really Dartmoor drizzle falling as snow, and it gets in your
eyes! (I should have taken my goggles). 1cm full cover above 350m asl
and moor does look completely white with every surface (rocks, gorse,
paths, ponds) covered. Cloud base now down to 350m and around Hay Tor
rock it felt very bleak with a cold wind and thick fog. Some people
were trying to sledge but conditions weren't really up to it. However,
the ground is rock hard under the snow. At home I have a full cover but
1cm although the lane is white and slippery.Temperature has now crept
up to +0.1 deg C and the snow is starting to turn "soft". That may be
it for me for a while unless there is any heavy precipitation on the
next occlusion but radar picture doesn't show much over land.
Precipitation seems to be dying further east too.
