Its nights like this I wish that I still lived in Princetown! Nothing here in Plympton, currently 5.3c so not holding any hope!
-
Got down to -4.8c in Plympton last night. Stunning morning!
-
Nice chilly start to the week. Warming up a bit now... Even though I am not on the moors any more, I am still on the edge of them so here's hoping for a decent winter!
-
Hello all.... Have not been on in a while!
So who is looking forward to finally getting some winter then??

I know! Sorry to abandon you buddy, but civilisation calls! I will enjoy mate. Still a little bit of elevation but nothing near want you have mate!sh@t a brick! I lost my snow buddy! Enjoy the lowlands laddy and all that comes with it

The Beast is back! Hello all and sorry for my absence. You will all remember me as the Beast of Dartmoor, but since I do not live there any more, I am now the Beast of Plympton!
I no longer have the elevation, but on the plus side, I can phone a person, they then make some food, bring it to my house, I give them money, then eat my dinner! The wonders of being near civilisation! Its a treat!
Anyway, weather has been wonderful here today, sat in the garden enjoying the sun! Nice evening as well....

Yeah, the isolation doesn't help at all. Thanks for the good wishes and I will be back with a new name soon!Yes I imagine its the isolation of the place that makes it what it is and must be hard to deal with on occasions. Not so sure about the penguin but you're think of something, good luck with the move and at least its not raining now.

Sorry for the late reply.... Been packing! You are right, there are a couple of good memories and I will be keeping some very good friends. And yes, the boy racers are irritating. But I think its deeper than that, the place just feels wrong.... Like it should have been left to the ponies after all!Better get thinking of that new name then, Beast. There must be some lovely memories of the place even then, surely? Even the worst places can have their beauty, its all in the eye of the beholder. I do believe one or two folk (boy racers?) may well have ruined a few of your better days from what I vaguely recall. Nonetheless enjoy the new town and please stay connected with us netweather dudes.
I think the people who have been here all their life deal with it, because they know no different, and it shows. But for us, we need normal people and a normal place!
So a new name will be necessary. Perhaps the Penguin of Plympton? Any thoughts! And of course, I will still be on here all the time!

Well its has been a stunning day here. It is my last week in Princetown.
Whilst people may look at my elevation and snow reports and think I am lucky, I assure you living here is in no way lucky.
Its a thoroughly depressing place where most of the people, bar a few friends of mine, are strange and have clearly lived in the bottom end of nowhere for far too long due to the second head protruding from their neck.
So people of netweather, if you are ever lured by the promise of a colder climate and snow and fancy Princetown as a destination, I encourage you to rethink your decision because it will be the worst you ever make!
I am moving to Plympton, and whilst it is a measly 100ft ASL, its civilisation, and that's just fine with me.
Signing off, soon to be formally Beast of Dartmoor.

We have had a very nice walk on the moors today and just about to have a roast after a stunning day here!

That was an interesting drive home across the moors.... The river dart was level with the road.... Normally the part near Ashburton well below the road. In glad that I left work early now!

Looks like a walk up the hill for you later!Don't be so sure. Princetown has snow progged for all this afternoon and evening so you never know your luck.
-
Also in Exeter we have sleet!
-
The missus just called to tell me there was heavy snow in Princetown....Woke up to a green lawn rather than a white lawn as alured to by David braine. Always the way when they predict snow it never happens. We move on. So what's coming next? Oh that's right another storm.

Hope so... Just had a pop at one for nearly crashing into my car.... I hope we get 5 foot overnight so they definitely can't get here!Soon to be followed by the old bill? Stopped here now. Next batch is way off the cornish coast. Long time to wait

Will let you know if it gets here....Its been a day of weird radar echoes, here's another one currently over the SW and heading towards Plymouth and Dartmoor area.

I will keep a look out and let you know!Had some kip (must be getting old) and have come back on here because I'm addicted to all the activity and boy, some you have indeed seen some of the white stuff, tis good to hear. I'm pretty sure we didn't and to be fair, its later tonight I'm more interested in, however is it still on I wonder? I concur with other's thoughts about this next two storms, both will pack a punch as the active weather continues. 2.9c here and the Air Pressure is in danger of rising above 1000mb
for only the second time this February. EDIT: Forgot to say, some sferics showing up off the coast of Cornwall, could get interesting at elevation down there at that rate, perhaps Bodmin Moor and the Beast will yet again see some further snow with perhaps a rumble of Thunder.

If I look out my back window to the higher ground it is completely white up there.... Heavy snow now!Just nipped up to the higher moor (400 m/asl) and a smattering of snow on the ground. Looked beautiful! The north moor (600 m/asl) looks to be uniform white. Back home and its just green. Fun all the same.

I am very well thanks, I hope you are too. I have to say whilst I do miss Princetown at times like this, living in civilisation, being able to pop to the shop, have a takeaway delivered and being in the city in 10 minutes is worth the sacrifice of missing the snow!
I hope all you lot up the hills get a good covering tonight!
