      It's tried to snow during the day but we've not had anything other than a few flakes drifting through the air. The temperature, when ambling around the garden this morning, was 34f, but it later rose to a top temperature of 39f, while the Sun kept popping out behind the cloud. Right now, the temperature is 28f with a pressure reading of 1013hpa.......good for the Summer but not so good for Winter:hate-shocked::dunno::coffee::snorky:

        Mr Kandy was so sure we wouldn’t get any and it would miss us:snorky:

                A gloomy start to the day but the sun appeared early afternoon and stayed until sunset. A big drop in temperature from yesterday's 11C/52F down to 3C/37F today. With a clear sky this evening it's currently down to -3C/27F.

                  Had a magnificent day. We went up to nearly 50f !! Brilliant sunshine loaded up my batteries while I made a new bit for my raised garden bed cover and attached it.

                  We are expecting the same tomorrow. We always get teased a little bit in January and February between the deep freezes and I sure do enjoy the :)

                    Not a flake of snow here ...yet. Chilly but not the end of the world as was being predicted. Time will tell how bad it will get. As long as it isn't as bad as 10/11, I won't moan too much. Glad you got your new heating in tho @Sheal :)

                      The forecasts up here have completely changed from yesterday @silu . I actually keep an eye on four. One for Inverness, another for the local area I'm in, one for the Isle of Man and the Jet Stream Chart. With the exception of the island you would think the others would be at least similar, but no. :doh:So I'll risk my local one which tends to be more accurate. Snow here from Wednesday for a week with a possible shower or two tomorrow.

                      So are we, thanks Silu :) but it'll be rendered useless if we get the promised power cuts, we have overhead cables here.

                        The Jet Stream is forecast to drop so much South to be almost level with Spain:dunno::snorky:
