Hi WiB, We have had falling snow on every day of the last 6 so I'm guessing you have to! ... All in all not a bad little tally for the Balmy Tropics of Devon eh

On a bit of a research mission, there is a couple been living in the village for, ooo well over 50 years and they said that there has never been snow like this in that time. I'd settle for living through a once in half a century event... but if the beer runs out....

Can hardly walk up the hill let alone drive it... its crazy out there! (thats a mixure of snow and ice now)

Cleeve Hill is brilliant. Went up there twice today. There are drifts inthe gullys of 2 - 3 feet. Generally a foot of snow although some of the sledge runs have worn thin. V busy so suggest you get there by mid morning. If with a bit of warm up early next week that amount of snow will be around for some time. Every year Cleeve Hill delivers.

Reached the dizzy heights of 1.1C here today... now dropped back to freezing already. A slight thaw (the snow is still sticking and overhanging from some roofs) but nothing to write home about. Still snow in the trees (after 2 days) and everything that has thawed is now freezing rapidly. I wonder what will happen tmrw...

When all this melts its gonna be fun... Dartmoor feeds alot of water at the best of times into the river systems, with up to 3 foot in places of melting snow and (possibly) rain on top of that... well. Wouldn't want to be anylower than 900feet. :)

Loving this post from SM tho

I have just got back from Cleeve Hill with a friend, we went up there on our mountain bikes. Pretty deep, drifts of up to about 5ft with large areas of knee deep snow and generally about ankle deep (6-8 inches). However it's variable because of the drifting - some parts are almost clear of snow where the snow has been blown over them and into adjacent drifts. I have some pictures which I will upload later. I went up on Thursday as well and have pics here: http://flickr.com/photos/jtrickey/3256055863/ There was more than that today though!

How big are your ankles?!

We do know that 1 inch is roughly 2.5cm right? Making your ankle depth roughly 20cm? :huh:

Well some quotes from the BBC

"Almost anywhere in the UK can expect a further covering of snow on Sunday and Monday, the BBC Weather Centre said. "

"Forecaster Tomasz Schafernaker said: "From Sunday morning almost anywhere in the UK may get a further covering, with the north more likely to see snow, up to four inches over the hills."

"On Monday into Tuesday, southern Britain is at risk of a further dumping of snow."

so, there you have it

Perhaps shin deep would be a better assessment of depth.

Wait a sec do I see more snow on top of our 20cm that we have had heading our way according to Met Office:

This is like the Great Lakes now, with one snow storm after another:

Heavy Snow Mon 9 Feb

There is a moderate risk of a severe weather event affecting parts of southern England and Wales on Monday. A band of rain will turn to sleet and snow in places as it moves eastwards. There is the potential for around 5 to 10, perhaps locally 15cm of snow.
