oh that looks interesting - im up in eskdalemuir on friday...ah well, at least the roads look nice n quiet.. not bad at building igloos so if needs be...!

just heading to stockport now - graupel here fairly continuously...

its begun to settle here...!

hope something's arrived by then (im south manc)...nowt at the mo, not even frost...new weather station packed up so can't even offer anything by way of useful data.

http://www.maplin.co.uk/search?criteria=weather+station which one d'you think i should ask for? bright spark mate bought me the same box set of laurel and hardy two years running..hadn't even watched the first one so he's changing it for a weather station for me (yippee!) so...advice?

Not at all, anonymous21, it's not even january yet! had a winter like this in somerset in 1998/99...warm days in glasto, no idea what the weather was up to up here then but we've plenty of time to get a few good cold snaps in... Hope you all had a crackin christmas and recovered from the sprouts...wonder what odds all that extra methane's made to the ozone layer...

oodles of honey bees out and about, sunning themselves on the back door, (its called a cleansing flight - they dont go to the loo in the hive) and crocuses out, but apple blossom too...

catcam...for those who didnt get a fix...(including me... ...had 3 calls from folks this morning - 'oh its snowing in hulme, really BIG flakes' (07.30am) 'hey its snowing in stevenage - and its settling'(10.30am) and of course scotland's finest wind up merchant ringing me up to get me to watch the weather forecast... http://www.maccinfo.com/cat/ There looks to be milder stuff trawling over us midweek so I cant see much but wet windy and not particularly 'snowy' conditions now for a couple of weeks at least...oh well, at least the heating bill won't skyrocket again...every cloud and all that..

just icy rain here, off to pick up a new little weather station now...maplins are doing a fairly ok one for beginners like me...£40 down from £55...bit more detailed than the one i had so maybe the cat did me a favour... snow from yesterday still on the camper windscreen, raintoday showing a fair pile of ppn but its highly unlikely it'll be owt more than wet stuff.. i reckon catcam's showing where to go for those reckless enough... http://www.maccinfo.com/cat/

picking up in intensity now....WOOOOOOT!!!! :smiliz64:

raintoday's radar shows a bit more of 'something' but since i've NO idea now what's happening up there (THANKS CAT...smart price cat food for you now) i've no idea whether to be excited or get ready to start crying lol... http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

bits and pieces here now but NW didn't forecast this either!! my weather station's broken - ggrr! bl@@@dy cat knocked it down trying to get in the window..off to maplins to treat myself to a new one.

come n have a brew wi me then - we got some!

morning :happy: very very very chuffed indeed to get up to a blanket of snow at 7am...up into town it's a fairly clear picture but i have to get to ashton later...more of this sort of thing please!!!
