Sunny again now so off over the border for a bit of a walk along the canal and maybe a couple of beers before we come home again.

Didn’t take long for the cloud to roll back in and the early brightness to disappear
although if it stays dry I’ll take it.
as for the outlook, Louise on BBC breakfast weather said it’s going to turn more unsettled again into next week
sorry but I must have missed when it actually turned more settled at any time over the last eight months

Lovely start to the day although no signs of frost here.
Maybe my well earned weekend lie in means it had gone before I got up but even the usual spots in the garden are green so I reckon it stayed well above freezing.
A usable day coming up and I just hope that the chance of showers shown in the forecast is as low as the chances of winning millions on the lottery.

did it manage to fill the potholes in
Heard it on the factory roof in Haslingden but only lasted a couple of minutes there.
got home from work and there was still patches of white on the grass-

Sleet at best here overnight and looks more like rain at the moment but at least it’s doing something.
I was getting a bit worried yesterday when it hadn’t rained for a full couple of hours and the water pouring over the dam slipway was in danger of slowing down.

itsnowjoke no I don’t joke about snow
don’t worry though you’re not missing much unless wet sleety crap is your thing but it’s a start

Snowing here at the moment.

Chance of a bit of high ground snow overnight, forecast thinks so and the Met app for OL13 agrees but not putting any of my my hard earned cash on it happening.
certainly a colder feel this afternoon and that cloud colour that usually indicates more icy conditions.

Weather-history at least we now have a record as certification for what has been a largely depressing 12 months of weather.
I dread to think where we would have been without the 5 weeks or so of dry and sunshine in May and June.
as for the present, I thought the clearance had reached here but it’s hammering it down again now

Looks like the heaviest of the rain is clearing east from here now so hopefully our additional 10mm since midnight and close to 50mm in the last 24 hours won’t be added to much more.

Using my 2 closest EA rain gauges, 2 miles north and 3 miles to my SE it looks like we’ve had around 30mm of rain here in the last 24 hours.
No other polite way to describe it other than horrible.

No surprise that it’s raining again.
ah well, hopefully it brightens up this afternoon and maybe, just maybe a chance of a bit of snow tomorrow.

damianslaw fully agree with that, we had our heaviest snow of last winter in March.
Late March 2013 brought one of our best snowfalls since the early 80’s and even in the decently snowy winter of 2020-21, the heaviest fall was in April.
if it comes then fair enough but I just hope it’s “proper” snow and not the slushy rubbish that seems to be the form horse these days.

Even considering the low bar that this winters weather has set, this afternoon has been awful.
not the fine rain that soaks you through, just the heavy stuff that in the end will go through the most waterproof of waterproofs.
absolutely vile conditions
as for Thursdays chance of a bit of wet slushy snow, no thanks; it can correct as far north or south as possible.
I’ve had enough of crap and let downs and in full spring mode now.

The weather isn’t doing anything to lift the spirits so we’ve ended up booking a weeks holiday in the Canaries.
It’s not until June but something to look forward to as the days lengthen and hopefully some better weather arrives.
meanwhile back to the present, it’s still damp and apart from a glimpse of brightness that lasted all of 30 seconds, it’s dismal looking with anything above 350 metres shrouded in hill fog.

After yesterday afternoon’s; evening’s heavy rain and a miserable start to today, just hope that the forecast of it brightening up later come off.
apparently it’s going to be mild though but without the sun, there is little benefit to the feel of things.

Looks like yesterdays drizzlefest has no interest in moving off to give a dry few minutes before the heavy rain moves in later.
another damp and miserable day to add to to the ever increasing list of damp and miserable days since last autumn.

Radar shows the rain and drizzle have died out but it’s still raining up here.
oh how much do I love living on an exposed SE facing hillside in conditions like this

No surprise that the stuff falling from the skies today is happy to focus directly across our region.
steady drizzle and a technically mild 9c, the worst thing possible but if it had been snow i would have bet my last fiver that it would have somehow managed to avoid this side of the Pennines before pepping up again over on the Yorkshire side.

Non of the brightness here to make the very mild temperatures on paper feel very mild in the flesh.
We were cloaked in dampness pretty much through with some steadier rain this afternoon and although it reached 14c, it was still a jacket day outside at work although to stop a wet shirt rather than needing to wrap up from the cold.

Could hear the rain on the roof as the band of rain/showers crossed earlier but hopefully it’s cleared through now and we might just scrape a reasonable day.
as already, said, it’s been wet for what seems an eternity and whether the actual figures show anything approaching record breaking or not, it’s well up there in the depressing charts.
hopefully lighter evenings will coincide with an improvement and at the moment I’ll take either cold or mild providing it’s dry.
just need a break from the rain

Rush2019 we have a resident heron keeping an eye on the pond at work
Good to see but the only problem is that there’s no fish in the pondq
