There is now an account of the recent extreme weather at

from http://www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/wpage9.html
(Data, description & photos). I know there's something wrong with the
text formatting in the 1st paragraph. Due to importing/exporting from
various bits of software, for reasons too complex to go into!

I realise there's still no real end in sight in the frozen north, but
it's over, for the time at least, here. Despite temperatures reaching
8.5C yesterday, and around 6.5C today (I haven't checked the final
figure) there are still the remains of drifts along the hedges on the
Penwith moors. Really felt quite pleasant out today.

Hi Graham,
A fascinating account and having lived many years in the SW I can
appreciate the unusual nature of the event. I wish we had more of
these contributions on what has been a historical event. Just been
looking at model output and over the last few days there has been a
consistency in contuing the block and reinforcing the cold air by this
time next week, not discounting some cold weather up to the end of
this week. The roads around here are lethal
at the moment and have become icier as the day has progressed. I
often have to remind myself how effective outgoing long wave radiation
is at lowering the surface temperature, even when the air temperature
is a few degrees above freezing. So keep up the good work and thanks
for all your interesting posts.

Great stuff Graham, great to keep getting your accounts of what's
happening "back Home".
I don't have the records to do it, but I reckon that I've had more
snow here in the past 3 years than I had in 25 (minus a few gaps) in
Cornwall, so always good to hear that it still gets some occasionally
- or quite exceptionally this year.
Incidentally, I think the earliest occassion I saw snow falling was 5
November in 1981?? it was the year the Channel Islands got clobbered.
Loads of stuff lying around here, a little more last night and this
evening, but nowhere left to pile it up if we get another dumping. Day
11 with cover in this spell - how long will it last?
