Yesterday's rain carried on all night, so I was surprised to glance out of the kitchen window about 5am and see snow lying. It snowed too, into the morning, before turning to rain.

Made another loaf with beer yeast - let the yeast work for a while in the warm water before adding it, and it came out perfect - certainly better shaped than any loaf I ever made with the bread yeast.

Surprised to glance at barometers and see them very low in the afternoon, 978 mb.
