  1. Does it make a difference that the ground round here is completely waterlogged? I believe we had 200%+ of average rainfall in Janurary. Plus a couple of days ago it was so warm I was walking around without a coat. Maybe the water under the soil was quite warm to start with and the cooling effect from the snow above is being canceled out by the unusually high amount of warm water below.
  2. We were lucky to get hit by that extremely long and thin streamer people were commenting on last night at around 9pm, which gave us the first snow we'd had from this cold spell, and there was an immediate covering of pavements and roads. It was great to watch, looking like some sort of cliched film "blizzard" with plumes of powdery snow flying horizontally past street lights in the wind. Before 10pm unfortunately the streamer shifted slightly west but it was a nice 2 to 4 cm and the snow didn't melt overnight. Since the morning there has been at least eight hours of constant light to moderate snow, but rather annoyingly it hasn't done anything to add to the snow levels, and despite the temperatures having been below freezing for at least 24 hours whatever lands in places that didn't get a covering from the horizontal snow last night is melting. The streamer has given a nice base which hopefully might cool things a bit ahead of any further snow on the way, but it's got to be falling much faster out of the sky than it has been today or else nothing is going to happen.
  3. That band is moving through Hitchin now and I'm afraid it's just rain. Fairly heavy, but rain. It couldn't be described as a storm.
  4. We've got a six week old so there's plenty to moan about, and with justification too. The recommendation is babies should sleep in rooms which are 16-18 degrees to lower the chances of cot death, last night the lowest it ever got inside with all windows open and a fan going was 28. It's been a miserable time here for all of us and the constant promises from the forecasters of an end which then doesn't come is becoming rather tiresome.
