A very light snowfall here overnight, followed by rain this morning
which is now sleet. It's a foggy grey sky and a monochrome landscape,
for the most part. Not far from us, the steep hill that leads onto the
Devon Expressway is still open, thanks to some hard work by the
gritters. This is Haldon Hill that in 2010/11 left people stranded at
the bottom overnight, on the Exeter side. On telly this morning it
looked blanketed by snow but traffic was still moving freely.

Down in balmy West Cornwall, we had a lot of rain overnight (1.2 in.),
and I did think of all the folks up-country, bearing in mind the
rule-of-thumb that an inch of rain gives a foot of snow, and that it
was heading that way. Sunny, light westerly wind, and 9 centigrade
ATM.

Mild, but very exposed to salt gales

Was a bit grey this morning after heavy overnight rain, brightening now, dog
may be in luck!
