For the 6th day this month I can record snow as 'falling' making it a
record for any month in my time of observing weather.

Rain falling all morning becoming heavier, turned to sleet and now wet
snow as the temperature slowly drops (high of 6.1C at 12:30). The tops
of the hills are now white with a light covering.

Rainfall at 166 mm and rising with this persistent rain/sleet/snow. My
wettest month was in November 2009 with 189 mm.

What a remarkable month this March has turned out to be.

(15:50), 2.5C, RH 94%, DP 1.7C, 993 hPa (S), Wind 2 mph NNW.

Different world here Nick. 10C, light winds & long sunny periods. A veil of high frontal cloud visible to the east all day.

Took Leanne out to the Seal Sanctuary, couple of pics to show how pleasant it was outside http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/Sun.html a near perfect late March day. The sunchine, and lack of wind, making up for the struggling temperatures.
