First Snow of Winter 2019
About 2 cm of snow fell over the night 22/23 January and rapidly disappeared. The last substantial fall of snow (for St Albans) was in December 2017.
The weather was good enough to see the first phase of the ‘blood red moon’ over the Heath late afternoon on the 20th January. If you were up at 5 am on the 21st, you may have seen a more intense blood red colour.

Weather takes its toll on trees
Several trees on the Heath have succumbed to winter gales, some because of the ‘sail’ effects of ivy and the wind drag it causes, and others, including this dead hawthorn, to old age. This latter tree has fallen across the path along Townsend Drive.
