Several inches of sleet and snow, blowing a gale, and absolutely freezing. Otherwise fine!

Surprisingly no rain in Carmarthenshire either.  We could do with a bit.

Started as mizzle & drizzle this morning but is now steady 'soft' rain which thankfully gives it time to soak into the ground instead of a flood that just runs off. ideal for me as sowed & rolled the paddocks at the weekend so if it stays mild they should soon be looking green. Now 10 degrees.

We are desperate for rain too. After what seems weeks of blue sky since the big freeze and snow we have clouds today. My water containers are empty and I hate paying for water to use on the garden - I'm walking back and forward to the trickle of a stream! given the crazy weather i bet we have flooding next week.

Our ground was very dry so the snow will help a bit, the grass was coming on fine then 5 days of cold wind and its back to winter. Lucky for me I had not started work in the pollytunnel. I still have winter cabbage and lettuce but as yet no seeds growing.
