Rapid thaw

Although there was a sudden change on Sunday and a lot of green re-appeared in the space of 24 hours, it was never exactly 'mild' - but this afternoon we touched 11.8C for a couple of hours which is quite impressive for the coldest point of the year late January.

Even over the moor tops the old drifts were pouring away.
However by mid-evening temperature was falling away again so only a brief interlude.
Since it was blowing a gale and drizzly it was hardly pleasant.
