    I usually trust the Beeb to have a sensible, grounded take on these weather fronts :blue thumb: however, listening to the BBC weather people dodging the issue on radio and TV, I'm a little more concerned than I was:) Having said that, I will be laughing at everyone buying sledges for their kids, we never get more than a inch:roflol: :huh: I haven't tempted fate have I :gaah:

      Well, it was Tomasz Schafermaker on Sky, who is usually pretty good and practical in his forecast who was causing doubt on forecasts on the severity and length of the "cold snap". It'll be interesting to see what happens.:coffee::snorky:

        Was it Tomasz that was a little bit over the top with pop on the bbc weather?

            Nice dry sunny week so far . Temps will plummet next week so frosty nights down to -3°c.
            I find the BBC weather forecasts extremely pessimistic. They are pretty useless for planning days out or jobs outside. Lots of holiday resorts do complain about them. Must be due to all the stick they took over the 1987 great gale forecast - " there is not going to be a hurricane" :biggrin:

              Sunny pleasant day - very dangerous! :th scifD36: - almost got the spade out to plant bits in the borders; good job I remembered the weather is meant to be taking a downward turn shortly (and that it is still only February) :phew:

                Low grey cloud cover again, with the temperature reaching, briefly, 46f, while it stayed dry with no breeze. Right now, the temperature is 40f, it's still dry, with total cloud cover, and a pressure reading of 1007hpa.:coffee::snorky:

                  Not that I know of, Jiffy. He's an accomplished artist and Simon McCoy dragged him reluctantly in front of the TV camera to show off his portraits like this.....
