Snow since 1300 here in Wembury.
Sometimes quite heavy, but not settling because air temp 1.5°C,
and after 7°C overnight, the ground temperature is still to high.

Snowed here too Len, and quite heavily for a while but didn't settle.

Snow stopped leaving it cloudy, cold, grim.

Bit sleety here.

28th Feb we had a good 15cm of snow, and no warning for here.
1st Mar we had a yellow warning & 5 - 10cm of fresh snow.
Tomorrow an orange warning. If it’s anything like those 2 days I’ll be surprised.

My PC won’t connect to the internet, which is a pain. Thank goodness for the iPad

I wish I knew. I used to work in Pc support, but this has got me a bit baffled. It’s one of those intermittent things. The router seems fine, the signals Ok, the line speeds variable but it always has been. Use a USB network adaptor, same issues. Tried turning off, unplugging, all the normal things, + 101 other things. The lines been checked, tried different sockets. You name it I’ve probably tried it. It seems to be its either a fault on the pC other than the network card or the router doing something strange which is upsetting the PC but not the iPad or android phone.

If anyone’s got any brilliant ideas they will be appreciated, but be aware I’ve cleared history, run all sorts of checks, defragged the drive etc. Etc. Etc. It’s been getting progressively worse, rather than relating to a particular update. I even took the PC to a neighbour, and it worked fine, but when I brought it back it worked fine here - for a day! So that proved nothing.

I sometimes have wireless connection troubles but they're usually just
down to Broadcom being unhelpful to Linux and me installing a new kernel
before the updated driver had been built.

My router offers 5G as well as 4G so that has given me an alternative if
the performance on one of those seems a bit off. That needed a new
wireless card to take advantage of 5G, of course.

Your mention of defragging gave me the shivers as I remembered having to
do that years ago when I used Windows regularly. Used to have my
installation disks to hand as I usually had to re-install the system as
defragging eventually crashed it.

You could try plugging a powered USB hub into your USB connection on your PC, and plugging your USB network adaptor into the hub. Maybe the network adaptor isn't receiving quite enough power to operate correctly?

More significant snow overnight - depth hard to determine due to
drifting, but probably at least 1".
