Default [WR] Dartmoor 8/1/06 (Heavy snow)

Just come back from a walk up and around Ryder's hill (south moor) circa 500m
asl. Started at 1000 at 270m asl near Buckfastleigh and just started snowing.
Reached summit around 1200 with 3 cm powder in continuous moderate snow and
slight wind chill with temperature below freezing. On descent through wet-bulb
freezing level snow got heavy with 5cm sized flakes, best snow I have seen for a
while! Coming down below 200m for lunch it got wetter with little snow lying but
still falling. At home had 1 cm snow with snow line at 280m asl. Up on Hay Tor
circa 2cm with sledging just possible. A lovely winter's walk just as HMO said
:-) At 1520 temperature was 0.9 deg C with snow now melting at home but still
the odd flake coming down.

Will.
