Not a drop of rain, just a dryng, strong, SE wind and temperatures
which have risen to 6,5C. I think we've been transported to the
Praries into a chinook (no, not the bloody helicopter). here's hardly
a drop of water anwhere, yet almost all the snow has gone. Quite
amazing. Missus has gone running for the first time in 3 weeks and it
is a different, green, world out there. I hope the breakdown is as
easy for others, as it has been here, but I doubt you'll be quite as
lucky!

Went out for my paper and the only luck I had was in managing to stay
upright! All the ice was covered with a thin film of water to make it extra
slippy. One footpath which is still white with hard-packed snow had kept a
grippy surface until this morning when I found it was also rather greasy and
best avoided.

That's been us for days; the ice just got slippier nd slippier with
each slight melt and night-time freeze, but not, thank fully, now!

My eaves and icicles are dripping, but the snow is hardly melting yet.
But it's still dry here (Evershot) though rain is coming for this
afternoon, they say. Temp 3.3C, DP 1.5C.
