So I was in north Wales just before Christmas to take some weather readings. Today I've been looking back over the photos and notes from that visit, in preparation for a return at the end of next week. I found this photo, which was taken during an early snowshower, presager of the longer harder whiter winter weather that was to come. Just before it started snowing I'd decided to see how long I could stand the cold in just a T-shirt, recording what I could see, what I could feel. I hadn't planned for the arrival of the snow. I made it to about ten minutes (not so impressive, I know), the last 3 minutes or so mainly a percussion of chattering teeth and laughing and brrrrrr.

The instruments of my weather reading: a thermometer, a digital stills camera, an underwater cine camera (I thought this would be the best one to bring to Wales), a shivering body, a dictaphone, a notebook (waterstained), a pen (ink runs), two bare arms, maps and a car.

I've yet to decide how to take a body reading for the depth of the snow.
