When I left home it was sleeting quite heavily and this train of cement tankers, running 106 minutes early, was held at a signal in Totnes station.

The sleet soon turned to freezing rain, then stopped altogether. By the time I had reached Steamer Quay there were large patches of blue sky. There were already icy patches, but the temperature dropped even further as the cloud cleared and the wet ground became really treacherous in places.

I didn't take any pictures yesterday on my way to work, I was concentrating on staying upright on the lethally slippery path.
We were originally forecast a couple of hours of heavy snowfall for yesterday afternoon but it kept getting pushed further and further back. The snow eventually arrived a little before 8 pm but there was less than expected and it didn't fall for long.
This morning there were only a few tiny patches of snow left on the paths and no ice, so walking was easier, allowing me to take a few seasonal photos of the Dart Valley.

Yesterday morning the clouds were dragging their bases on the hills of the Dart Valley.

The afternoon turned clear and sunny, but I was working on something urgent and didn't get a change to enjoy it.

This morning was once again a bit damp. At least it's not cold as well.

In contrast to yesterday it stayed like this all day and turned to heavier rain as the sun set.

Much brighter, with no drizzle today. A photo from the same spot for comparison.

It didn't last, the cloud rolled in within an hour, but it was nice to actually see sunrise.

Two days ago on my way home I noticed there was a whole tree caught in the moorings between the two road bridges. It spend yesterday pinned against the upstream side of Totnes Bridge and this morning had worked its way to the downstream side.
