Morning all, a low of -4.4c here overnight, currently -3 and everything is very crispy. Bit of a thaw yesterday afternoon but level measurement on table this morning is 21cm so still deep snow cover here. The sky is blue, the sun's shining, all in all my favourite kind of winter weather, truly beautiful out there. Don't want it to melt

Well they got that right

You know all those times when folk say 'ooo, it's not cold enough for snow' and the endless times we all hear 'cold has to be entrenched to get decent snow' well it's not true, it doesn't necessarily take a Siberian blast to get snow. It's not particularly cold, there is no beast and we've had 20 hours of continuous snow in the mild South West. It wasn't a slushy mess, it didn't struggle to settle, and it just got deeper and deeper - stopped measuring at 28cm as the weight was compacting it. So the next time the models aren't looking particularly promising, remember sometimes the most borderline of conditions can deliver the most.

It stopped here a while ago but I think in total it was about 20 hours of continuous snowfall, (never thought I'd get to say that) I stopped measuring at 28cm because although still snowing heavily it wasn't getting any deeper, guessing it was compacting with weight. Been out for a wander, there's a bit of a thaw going on here but the sun is going down and it's forecast to freeze, doubt it will thaw very much. Took some pics, forgive all the tree ones, I'm ever so slightly obsessed with snow covered trees. Went to the old church across the fields (used in Poldark) had to take a pic of Scott's memorial in the snow - just think, the snow starved fool went all the way to the south pole to get his snow fix.

Remember Gibby? He's just posted on his FB page that it'll be at least a couple more hours before it stops here.https://www.facebook.com/Kilmersdonweather/?__tn__=kC-R&eid=ARDjt2OpYmLR1lnihrXbwZ8us_TRGyJcqIPjB5CiOFvDPy6bJLPLOB_9ORk4cmxXUC4jihk2NTHeq5z4&hc_ref=ARR7E9NNVyeBdLNs46XlJW_WYDg-OUUBGHcSWE23D_KVr7Dy8-cxgef3aKYdJam9YFw&fref=nf&__xts__[0]=68.ARDiS9VTO0OzTeMG0796q9BCwh2FUapFE4MCts7ZE9j-vJ3JF3AtsugSFwbR0V7OEEkF4SKwMj-kbHlEvc1D6bHjiNK35PryiObSjHyaKmulgO3PnIYgqH43I6KGVJwjSwYo5IEGxZarq8Hzq-9SwHsC1PC1nxSsk5mp37MIXEXi6BjUGv0nh-Ux-XGDgH6VOmA4FIWBd8cEtuKaQToDsS4LiLalzRsskd3ifGn0ZcoHH6drc3iO3T3v4bszYFF4Rf-50FEnkGZB2Hu4lYAsYYVRszHFPly7-4Hcn8-DVoWlukyH8fYqw_NOfN2DC81EcY6hlGwBaveRAlCly_GJ4l7Jf1UawnZCc24jGCRdm8YmjkFoFiEGtQ

I doubt my boss is happy but she's far too nice to say. She's in London, I'm on dog duty, but the cleaner is going to have to do it instead. Now she won't be happy but she can walk it in 15ins, she's just down the road, I'm 17 miles away and 450 foot higher up. Folk often don't get that it's a different world up here when it comes to snow.
