We heard last night of a local resident who became stuck in snow on Dartmoor yesterday. Driving on one of the higher parts of the moor he turned a corner in the road and ran into a large patch of snow and became stuck. After contacting The Dartmoor Rescue Group for assistence, he was subsequently pulled out of the snow by a passing pickup truck.
This is a reminder, if one were needed, that despite the rcent mild weather Dartmoor has a climate all of its own and its also a reminder that with the volume of snowfall a couple of weeks back, snow can take a long time to clear completely. I think that we have mentioned before that after the big freeze of 1963, snow could still be found lying around in patches, until Easter.
