Default Never known such a variation in weather over such a short distance...


Or even from Haytor 900 feet down into Bovey Tracey (3 miles). Heavy snow and
freezing down into drizzle and 4C.
Or from Teignmouth, clear and sunny and warm up to Haytor (9 miles) with fog and
drizzle.

Oh do leave it out Will! We're talking about *horizontal* gradients
here, not the normal vertical gradients you like to remind us of given
half a chance ... Why, only this morning just five miles away from
here, the temp was 40 degC lower than my screen temperature! And only
five miles away! (Upwards. Like it is every day in fact.)
