Storm that passed through Essex about at about 1.30pm began with a flurry of snow. Turned to hard rain with some sleet mixed in, then the rain got lighter and then stopped 20 minutes later.

Well I made it back and had a fantastic time in Alaska and the Rockies,the weather was warmer in Alaska than it felt in newcastle today and it was certainly a lot windier here. It is already down to 5.5c here and with a clear sky some frost hollows at least should experience some ground frost. I shall post my photos in due course
