Overnight the wind became very strong
and by morning the rain started and was soon very heavy. Through the
day the wind strengthened and the rain became harder. It was not the
weather to move on so I had to scrap the day and stay put. The
temperature rose from sub zero to a mild 8decC. This meant that all
the water caught up in ice and snow was released and the surrounding
ground was tuned to a saturated bog. The bad weather continued
through the night.
