They are saying that there is no rain on that low! People should pray that there's not an ice storm. That could do a whole lot of damage.

It's a possibility

If its a blizzard, after a few hours (progged) it'll be true whiteout conditions with the amount of precipitation and longevity of the blizzard (I have experienced this). You won't see the bridge, or the road! Stay off the roads in vehicles.

I walk!

Seriously though, if it really starts pelting it down, I'll check the radar, and make a judgement whether or not to close up. Clients need to be able to get home safely and no point in anyone taking risks just to get a workout!

Leave them to it.. let them play with their toys ? so funny... 

I just had a quick tip toe through mod thread and once you filter out the garbage I get the impression the chance of prolonged cold spell is still on the table and we may stay cold week after....

T 3C DP-7C 

 

I've got an idea. Come Thursday let's have a game of temp top trumps.  Lowest DP and overnight readings wins. By Friday we could extend this to include snow depth....

Another beautiful sunset. Decided to cycle to Hale, across the county line to catch it. Was nippy though!

I hope the ECM is a cracker for karlos' sake.

He's going to need cheering up. His boys are 3-0 down at Wembley.

Let' hope this part of dartmoor is white come Friday. Lovely afternoon walking the dog.

Drove past the King's Head on the way home earlier. We'll be sure to wave next time.

Yes - I think it’s game on still

I'm  not so worried about the beast fron the east atm....temps dont look much different to a normal winter for us. That blizzard is my worry. The winds plus the amount of snowfall in a short time will cause havoc here abouts.  Not going to panic buy, but will definitely have torches, matches etc in an easy to find place.

 

And wine

And gin

Not far. Top of Lode Hill. Where it snows, when we get cold rain.

Looking at the models the cold spell being prolonged is very much back on and so is a possible blizzard here for the end of the week. For those of you thinking its rain, well maybe it will be, however experience tells me the chances of that are reducing as the models backtrack a little. If it is a blizzard from a bitter cold Easterly then you will not forget it in a hurry. When the beast has paid you a visit you tend not to forget its embrace.

Yeah, then across the Channel to Calais, then to Belgium, and back on Saturday morning! What's the chances my plans are disrupted? The roads are gonna be awful.
