Let it snow...

Community scientists Mollie and John visited Kinder Scout this weekend to carry out the monthly downloads of data collected by the loggers on our environmental monitoring site. Their job was made more challenging (but also more fun!) by the thick layer of snow which fell there on Friday night...


Mollie surveys the scene...


As Mollie explained: "We dug through over 2 feet of snow to find the rain gauge, air pressure logger and humidity and temp logger. Luckily the auto dipwell was sticking out so we had a reference point to start our digging from!"

John and Mollie were rewarded for their efforts with spectacular views of a magical looking landscape...
