A fine winters day and I have taken a day off work to enjoy it!

Sprinkling of snow at my altitude but looks to be a bit more higher
up. Haytor rocks shining white in the sun.
1cm snow at Postbridge.

Temp +0.9C
DP -1C
SCT Cu/Cb
Vis 30Km
Wind W F2

Radar showing a line of snow showers (at altitude) out to the west.


1430

Gorgeous day. Worth staying off work for looking at the mild wet
forecast. Mainly sunny, dry, snow sprinkles still lying in the shade.
SCT Cu/Cb
Temp +3.9C and starting to trigger local Cbs.
Distant snow showers earlier (just north of Princetown) with high
moor shining white.

Off now to split some more logs and keep warm :-)
Ssshhh don't tell the Met Office that *that* middle aged geezer is
chopping wood again :-)

1505

Covering ground quickly.

Have to say Will when having seen the forecasts for this week it looked
really exciting but it's been all a bit of a let down really (at least
here) since Saturday.
Had very little snow and but plenty of cold rain which I really hate,
rather have it mild when it's raining heavily.
I reckon we will get more rain in bucket loads from Wednesday night
onwards. The weekend into next week doesn't look much better away from
the north and over the highest ground of Wales and the South West.
Can't believe it's been the coldest Winter (so far) for some time and we
could still end up having our heaviest snowfall in a none winter month
just like last year!!

Better not say anymore will have Dave R on saying them nutters are off
again

Clear here with current temp 2.1c

My snowiest month by far is February and March comes second.
Don't usually get much in April or December and January is variable.

Dave who? :-)

Hi Graham, yep, never really got going did it?
The potential was there, and it still is for a stormy spell.
Jet sinks even further south next week. You never know, it ain't over yet by
a long way.

Temperature here is now +0.2C and icy.

Cheers,

Will

-----------------
As a fellow member of "the nutters club" I must admit the weather has been
quite bland here really. Not especially cold day or night, not very windy
and zero snow in any form. Hey ho, at least the garden's going to get a nice
watering the rest of this week.
Hasn't stopped the Council from gritting tonight though. Shame they forgot
to do it when it was -6.4C :-(

Yes Dave plenty of rain!!

Looks like rest of Jan is going the same way I'm afraid plenty of rain
temps near average which means only high ground of the north seeing any
snow and looking at the latest runs could be a mild or very mild start
to Feb!!!

Bit dire really when you think it's been the coldest winter for many
years up to now and it's produced zilch!!
