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.

Here, east of Torquay and 160m elevation there was a light dusting
overnight and then a slightly more substantial fall around 9 am,
leaving everything white. A couple of hundred metres away, at the
bottom of the hill, there was no snow.
The subsequent rain has started to clear the snow.

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.

It's raining here now and just as gloomy. But according to the Apple
weather widget, it's 7C in Plymouth, so we won't get snow in that!

Snow started early this morning and has continued all day. It's only small
flakes and isn't any problem.
Sorry, my weather station is currently offline.
