Snow lying widely on Dartmoor above 350m asl. this morning. Varying
depths, but only a light fall as far as I can tell. Just a thin patchy icy
covering down here in Haytor, mainly on soil.
T +1.7C with a lazy wind.
Distinctive sound of swmbo hacking ice off the car before driving to work
this morning!
Snow and hail showers around at present, and plenty on the radar as
expected in a cold NW'ly airflow.

Hail, sleet and snow showers have continued here this morning with warm
sunshine in between. Lovely hail curtains at times looking east. Snow
melting on ground but still some lying above 400 metres. Temperature has
shot up to 4C in the sun but falls during showers of course. A chilly wind
but gloves still not required. Almost completely sunny now - a gorgeous
winter's day.
