Lovely winter sunshine with a couple of cm of new snow from overnight
up in north Leeds.
Out and about this morning to find snow showers from blue sky. Clould
seemed to follow some time after before clearing to blue sky and snow
yet again. I guess this is to do with winds at clould or under clould
level. Almost still at ground level. Perfect winter conditions.

I got the same in sunny South Yorkshire, when I checked the overnight
reading on my brand new ws , I found that the wind speed indicator had
frozen, and wasn't registering anything!

Does anyone know how to stop this or is it something I'll have to live with

In case you are wondering, no I'm not the Look North man, unfortunately!

Snow from a clear sky is probably from a cloud that dissolved before the
snow reached the ground. I've noticed these seem to occur mostly a little
after dawn.

Same here in North Yorkshire and some very large 5-10mm single snow
crystals were in amongst the flakes this morning. Then when it turned
sunny you could see them nicely with a magnifying glass. I would have
photographed a few, but my camera gave up in the old (or rather its
batteries did).

Not a lot you can do. Mine generally only freezes up with heavy wet
snow or freezing rain with little wind. I've squirted the outside
with WD40, a water displacer, with some success in the past. The
current one doesn't seem to freeze presumably because we haven't had
the required conditions, it's the same as the previous one.

Thanks for that, Dave.

I'll just have to keep an eye out for it during the current conditions!
