So much for the thaw.
Whilst the temp. is 35f here in costal South Wales, we had no frost
overnight but now the wind is blowing a gale, gusting to over 60mph
and the forcast is for Sleet or Snow for several hours starting in a
couple of hours.
I am spending a happy couple of hours browsing through catalogues

Snow has gone from the garden and nursery, though I haven't tried

lanes yet but will this afternoon. Apparently, the week end is
supposed to get worse, so I just hope 'they' are wrong again!
They're not. It's snowing heavily but as the ground is wet, it
might not lie.
We've had RAIN all day in west Cornwall. Total nearly 0.8 inches,
and
temperature this evening about 5.5C. The thaw is well under way and
apart from a few pockets under the hedgerows, the snow's all gone.
Heavy snow further east, though.

Many, many people are stranded on Haldon Hill, part of the A38's Devon
Expressway, just where it divides to go to either Plymouth or Torquay
- very heavy snow there. Nothing but the odd bit of rain here, around
15 minutes' drive away.

I am surprised you are not snowed in, Sacha. I wondered how you were
getting along but couldn't ask because we have been without internet
services (broken cable somewhere in N London) for over 24 hours.
