Default [WR] Haytor 13/02/05 (turning wintry)

================================================== ==================

0730

Heavy hail shower with snow mixed in giving an icy covering on all surfaces.
Drifts of ice on side of moorland road.

0850

Temp 4.2 deg C
Dewpoint 1 deg C
Wind (est 10m) NW 22 knots gust 36 knots (severe gale force 9 on open exposed
moor)
5/8 Cu and isol arctic Cb (low topped)
Visibility 10-15Km
Rainfall since midnight 3.3 mm
Bar 1010 hPa falling quickly

This is more like it ! The weather defeated me a bit on the morning dog walk,
decided to cut it short as fighting against a severe gale with a wind chill well
below zero was not worth it, particularly as my dog was using me as a shelter
!!!

Now clouding over looks like another heavy shower is heading our way.

From a rather cold and windy Haytor,

Will.
