Winter

A little bit of wintry precipitation has settled on the Trail overnight and in some stretches there is a little wet ice. The tops don’t seem any more snowy than valley level. This may be because (i) shorter vegetation at valley level and/or (ii) there was some radiative cooling and calm wind overnight before the shower came. Now it’s raining in a sleety kind of way. No problems here from yesterday’s wind, although I hear a roof in the Mottram area has been lost.
