I don't think I've got that promised 2-5 cm of snow the warnings have hinted at all winter... and my height above sea level 150m+ has fitted their criteria.  One or two occasions their has been a cm or so of slush that's melted pretty rapidly.  At least we avoided that messy stuff today, and it's been breezy but dry after this morning's rain scarpered taway.

 Well here at sea level I haven’t done any worse than you so that makes me feel better.

Can't believe I went to bed early as I had an early start then got up to do curtains just because we had snow forecast

This forecast certainly looking promising. But then again I'd be very catious. He says '' just about anywhere you could see a snow shower'' at start of video.

which if correct tells us to turn off the light on the way out, with dews -2/-3 and uppers of -9 then it really is time for me to call it a day on this winter if thats not snow.
