Currently 4c after dropping to 2.4c overnight so still not all that mild but the big thaw carries on.

Rain now again wind has eased off at least thaws the snow too fast.

Ground is extremly wet as it`s still frozen underneath and just running off very quick,but it has

soaked in too.

[Stargazer]

Well the rain stayed as sleet throughout and it looked like there had been a fresh cover around fox house. very rapid thaw going on up there plenty of floods too drive through so in a way more dangerous than it was the other week when I drove home across the snow.

Snow here has really ran away overnight. I expected it too hang around longer since it had a layer of ice on top to protect it but a Max of 5c overnight made short shrift of it.
