Too much snow

Last night we had a couple of inches of snow. By the standards of people who get "real" snow this is nothing. However, I did notice one interesting side-effect of all the snow: the impeller that measures the wind-speed on the anemometer is now totally snowed in and I'm no longer getting any wind-speed readings.

An unexpected problem and I doubt there's a simple solution. I guess I'm going to have to wait until a good gust of wind or a thaw (expected Friday) clears it.

It has been thawing all day in Leeds. I can even see a few stars now ;-)

Yeah, started thawing here around 10 or 11 this morning thanks to lots of rain. We've had rain on and off since and lots of pretty thick fog.

I did actually see a hint of a star or two about an hour ago but, as soon as I saw them, they were obscured again. I don't think I'll be out tonight.

Leeds eh? Is that your home ground then (I'm originally from just up the road in York).
