    Morning all.

    I awoke to a winter wonderland with more than enough snow for a snowball fight sadly it has all now been washed away and replaced with constant rain and a very chilly howling wind :(.Hel.xxx.

    Well, oop North it's been snowing unremittingly since around 6am and the flakes are steadily getting bigger and thicker as it goes on. No sign of letting up either! We now have about 4" of snow. :help:

    I'm not going anywhere anytime soon! Glad I had a delivery of groceries from Asda yesterday except I forgot bread! :doh:Guess I shall have to get the breadmaker out and have another go!

    It was pouring and I mean pouring with rain this morning. However since then, it stopped, the sun came out and there's blue sky. Not as cold as yesterday either :)

    It's very deceptive. Looks lovely, sun is out with a slight breeze........then you go outside and it's freezing in the shade and there's a bit more then a breeze...burgh

    Afternoon all.
    Just taken this picture of outside.
    Been really nasty in Yorkshire today. Listening to the local radio it would have been better to shut the place down this morning.
    In the last few minutes the sun has come out and its looking very wintery

    I don`t understand how it missed us this morning but it did. Bad in Wales, bad in yorkshire, but my little pocket of Lancashire must be under the care of the Valar, all my ice has melted and no frost damage.
