An overcast morning but dry at the moment-min last evening was -0.5C ; the temperature is on 1.6C and a slight thaw-the icicles are dripping and the snow has lost its 'feathery' feel, its now soft.

1.6C is the highest temperature since the max on Monday of 2.7C; an indication of how cold the past few days have been.

[Terminal Moraine]

A slow rise in temperature overnight but just maintained ice day status with a max' of -0.2c, the 8th consecutive ice day and probably the last for a while.

Currently cloudy with intermittent light snow and a 23 mph NE wind which continues to drift the lying snow, drifts 2-3 feet deep in places.

Temp' currently is -0.2c.

Rainfall in 24 hrs to 0900, 1.0 mm

Mean depth of undrifted snow is 18cm, 2.5cm of fresh snow fell yesterday but it's all blown away.

A min of -5.1c early last night when clear,temps have risen to a max of -0.2c some light snow/soft hail but just had freezing snizzle not what I wanted wet frozen on surface that stopped,back to snow grains sleety snow particles.

Wind has picked up more turning more to the east.

Hasn`t quite affected the drifting which still goes on,whether the last lot of snow will drift now I`m not sure the damage may of been done.
