Welcome to my Blog, bringing you my weather observations through North East Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, North Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and into the City of York during my daily commute from Melton Mowbray, by car and train.

Monday 7th April 2008:

It's white over on them tops!

Melton Mowbray 06:30hrs 2.0'C

It has been a weekend of snow showers for Melton Mowbray. Yesterday there was a slight covering of the white stuff first thing, with plenty of wintry showers through the afternoon. There was a longer period of snow around 7pm; but it didn't settle. One strange thing I noticed on Sunday was being outside in falling snow with the sun just coming out from behind the cloud and it having some enough strength in it to make it feel quiet pleasant.

Today the day broke clear and sunny and cold, but certainly not frosty. Very much similar conditions throughout the commute north to York. There was no snow cover throughout the commute but approaching York I could see the Yorkshire Wolds were thick with snow cover.

Temperature at 06:30 was 2.0'C, lowest recorded overnight temperature 1.9'C. Pressure at 06:30 was 992 hPa

Tomorrow: Cold start with further wintry showers…
