Yep I noticed that too Festival. Not too much hope for Yelverton me thinks, but hopefully it won't be too far to travel to find a few flakes. Although there is nothing I love more than watching falling snow through the lounge windows. That was the main reason I moved to Dartmoor over 20 years ago. My husband is desperate to move by the sea, I might have to cave soon if we get some goog results soon.

Yes Rich cars are coming down off the high moor with snow on. It does look pretty wet, but snow is snow when we're desperate!! -

Stunning morning here this morning. I haven't got a weather station (Santa didn't come this year ) but the car is still at -3C. The thickest frost I think we've had so far this winter. Glorious sunshine now. if we can't have snow, I'll take this any day over rain and drizzle. -

I had to chuckle this morning. A non snow loving friend of mine sent me this on Facebook, as reports of snow were being posted. -

Hi folks this was spotted over Dartmoor late yesterday afternoon. I did see it in the distance but someone else took a photo and was asking what it was. It's not from a fire apparently or do think they were mistaken?!!! Any ideas? -

Having read all of the above, I can see nothing that suggests or implies that people have forgotten about our fellow country men that have been affected by the terrible floods this winter, I know I haven't, and in Knocker's defence, he regularly shows compassion on the regional thread for anyone who's lives have been disrupted by weather events. We are members of this site because we are passionate about weather and it's unpredictable nature but I would like to think that when it comes to people's lives being endangered or severely affected by these events, that we are able to express compassion, no matter where in the world these events occur and without the judgement and blame that sometimes seems to follow. Surely it is not a competition to see who's lives are most affected or who has the least disruption from the biggest storm. Yes we have no control of the weather and yes some people could perhaps make different choices when it comes to how they deal with these weather events, but without knowing the detail surrounding each life lost, I for one, would not feel comfortable implying that any of these poor souls have themselves to blame and I sure as hell wouldn't have the guts to intimate such thoughts to their loved ones, would you? -
Set your alarm FK. A few years back we all got up early, packed hot bacon sandwiches and hot chocolate and went to a field we like off Burrator. Built the snow men, did the sledging, ate the picnic, took the photos etc. After 3 hours we realised we were still the only ones there. Heaven. Turns out the police had closed all roads onto the moor just as we got through. With 2 young Children it was magical. This obsession for snow is all about memories for me. Sunshine and showers here.
