Subject: RE: BS: Snow watch 2010/11
Ten days since I posted. Most of the first four or five it snowed in bursts, building a bit then thawing a bit less, so that we had a fair bit packed down in most streets, with the pavements (sidewalks) pretty nasty.
A few better days, and yesterday as I was walking I realised most streets had at least one side more or less safe to walk, though the rest was now polished ice with a meltwater topping. I looked out to sea hoping for fair weather, but no such luck; a sky like grey flannel, and within seconds it started with big wet flakes all over again. More fell during the night, and it was pinging down hard little pellets until 30 minutes ago, my picnic table which was clear yesterday morning now has about four inches settled on it.
We are forecast more until well after dark, I just may have to complain to the management about it.
