[WR] Haytor 29/1/13 (Very mild)
"Eskimo Will" wrote in message news:... "Eskimo Will" wrote in message news:... Very mild with T +11.0C D +11.0C. Last of my snow piles has now gone. Horizontal lashing rain and drizzle. Wind WSW F5 at home but F7 on the exposed moor. 1630 A strong wind gust (31 knots on 3m high anemo, but certainly more than that round the house where funnelled) has just destroyed a mature Camellia. Snapped it clean off at the base. I feel quite tearful as I was very fond of that bush. Can't curse the wind though, it's just nature! Rain is still lashing down and still very mild T +10.7C. 1650 35mm rain since midnight at Postbridge (369m asl) now gusting 40 knots up there too. Goodness knows what it is like on the exposed moor higher up. PS just discovered a small live camellia shoot coming out of the stump. That has been growing since the bush was mishaped (flattened) in the Dec 2010 snows. It will now become the main bush in time, hopefully. Nature always finds a way!

It will now become the main bush in time, hopefully. Nature always finds a way! As with the mild spell in December, the rain has only been patchy and light here. The sun even managed a brief appearance today though it seems the sunshine recorder was asleep for that. Rain has fallen everyday for the last 8 days, but most of it only small amounts. 22nd 15.5 mm 23rd 17.9 mm 24th 1.7 mm 25th 3.4 mm 26th 7.7 mm 27th 6.3 mm 28th 2.4 mm 29th 2.7 mm. Monthly mean temperature now back up to my estimated LTA at 6.0°C. Max today = 13.4°C. A dry (so far), mild and windy evening. (19:31), 12.6°C, RH 95%, DP 11.8°C, 1003 hPa (S), Wind 22 mph SSW. -- Nick G Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |
