From: Cats It was hailing very hard yesterday here on Bodmin Moor, but it must be about 6 degrees C today so quite balmy in comparison! We have bad weather forecast for this weekend though. Can't wait for the snow, the logs are all cut, the woodshed is full, woodburners at the ready, I'll just pop out and buy the chestnuts to roast... There again, I still have to get all my spring bulbs in as the weather is still too wet to get them in the ground. |

None of it stayed on the ground except as water to weigh down the clumps of leaves plugging the storm drains. The sun will likely come out today just as I start work. It figures. Peace, Mooh. |

Anchorage, for instance, has had snow on the ground for a month or six weeks. But- on the 24th of October we got 2"-4". Very pretty and my little dog rolled in it as though she couldn't contain herself. It is almost all gone now on the level on which I live.

At sea level we seldom get much of a fall, but we get cut off for a while most winters as the roads out all have to traverse exposed higher ground. |

From: Cats The village of Ottery St Mary, famous for the Tar Barrel Rolling, was cut off on Wednesday night when hail fell to a depth of over 2 feet on top of flash flooding. The hail was so intense that, in places, it drifted and one of the emergency vehicled got stuck in a 6 foot hail drift. Cars were washed away, houses flooded. Less than a mile awy they just had the odd shower! 'The Met Office recorded that between 8pm on Tuesday and 2am on Thursday 57.6mm of rain fell in the Ottery St Mary area. The average for the whole of October is 103.4mm. In places of Ottery St Mary the hail was up to two feet deep, said Mr Grommett. Temperatures were about 2C during the storm, but dropped to freezing at its most intense.' From the Western Morning News. |
