An overcast day here, but the serious rain held off until late afternoon, so could have been worse. I'm really not expecting any snow at this location and altitude on Friday, but those with a couple of hundred metres or more may have a decent chance. The last 'event' was looking good until things downgraded at the very last minute so I'll definitely be waiting until T+0 before getting properly interested, if it's still on the cards by that point. Metoffice not really that interested in snow away from high ground.

Iceaxecrampon It was certainly more wading than walking on the way down from Styhead. Windy Gap certainly lived up to it's name on Saturday as well. The one advantage of the low cloud was that we did some lower Wainwrights I had not done before and might not have otherwise chosen to do if the weather had been better.

A reasonable day today, quite cloudy, dry but some brightness at times. Just had a good weekend of walking in the Lake District. The weather was a bit of a mixed bag and rather fitting that I was walking from Seathwaite on Saturday when heavy rain set in during the afternoon, given it is the wettest place in England. Everything, even footpaths, turned to rivers. Sunday was much drier though and even had some sun at times. A bit disappointing that the highest summits remained in cloud all weekend, but rather moody and atmospheric yesterday with the low cloud rolling around the fell tops. We passed a load of toads basking in the sun on the footpath on the way out yesterday. At least, I assume they were toads rather than frogs.

An overcast morning here with the odd shower, currently 10C. I'm heading up to the Lakes shortly for a walking weekend. It looks a mixed bag of weather with rain at times and the cloud likely to be down below the tops most of the weekend, so not the best conditions and certainly not the wintry conditions I was hoping for, but will still be good to get up into the mountains.
