Shaftesbury?

Ah yes, I have trekked that way - reaching there after crossing the wilderness beyond Blandford Forum, then on towards the lions at Longleat.

It isn't really the temperature but the wind - snow is usually not too bad - it sometimes has to warm up to snow, but when the wind is driving the snow horizontally so hard that it seems to want to go through rather than round, that is when it gets miserable. We have no snow, but the rain possibly hits harder. The wind is just plain nasty.

Now last year, it was day after day of warm dry weather in March, and the jet stream was far to the North. At the moment the jet stream is about level with the Bay of Biscay and heading towards the Mediterranean.
