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 the
lanes yet but will this afternoon. Apparently, the week end is supposed
to get worse, so I just hope 'they' are wrong again!


Been flaking seriously in Bracing Bunwell Bottom.

Stopped now though, and thaw continues.

Is it of the very wet variety that promises to be gone in 24 hours - or
is it of the more substantial, settling-in type?

We've had more snow today. Our lane is impassable, we've been snowed in
for a week now. Hoping for rain and a thaw tomorrow.

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.

Our problems here were more ice over snow, as far as the roads were
concerned. But now there's nothing left of the snow though I don't
know what the roads are like. I hope that's the last of it, to be
honest because it's the longest period of cold we've had here in a long
time. At about 2.5C this morning, it feels almost warm!

Brr. it's slightly colder here and is snowing a very fine snow. I
haven't taken the dog out yet and she is getting rather cross but she
will have to wait.
