        "The Met Office issued warnings of ice developing on Christmas morning after showers and snow and sleet on 26 December." -- BBC News website.

        So which Christmas are they celebrating? Julian calendar?

          Looks more like a punctuation problem. This could be what was meant:

          "The Met Office issued warnings of (1) ice developing on Christmas morning after showers, and (2) snow and sleet on 26 December."

              Thanks Anna for the concern. The new computer's now in place - I spent yesterday catching up with the outstandings on the forum, and made the most of the lovely sunshine this afternoon for an 18-mile nostalgia cycle over to S Ken, where we lived until I was 12; had a quick sneak into St Mary the Boltons, as my mum used to play the organ there on occasion. I've never seen London's streets and even its main roads so quiet: you could have heard a pin drop in Fulham Road!

                Like that here in the Pennines this morning - and so mild, it could have been a day in October or March. I had a pre-lunch stroll.

                A change this afternoon - drizzle with a hint of sleet.

                  Oh, and there's a snow warning from the Met Office - Frosty the Snowman may appear tomorrow from Liverpool down to Brighton!!
                  Lucky you! I spent the day with friends and relations in a small village just outside Dundee. Still some street lights about, but when we came out an hour or so ago we could see the Plough, Cassiopeia, Castor and Pollux, Orion and the Pleiades without any trouble Enjoy your new binocs!

                  OT, the temp there was -3º C. Clear skies in these parts generally mean heavy frost at this time of year.

                    Yes enjoy the binocs Anna!

                    Here, just back south from the smoothest possible trip down the M1 - clear skies, no lorries, few cars, 3.5º / 4º showing on the dashboard, and a recorded TTN from last Christmas on the music system - Christmas concerts from Paris (Vaughan Williams and Finzi !! sweet hearing the children of the Maîtrise de Radio France coping very well with everything except the 'th' sounds!) and Prague (Zelenka).

                    Feet up now

                      Not at all the Christmas Day weather we were promised. The predicted sunshine was instead some heavy rain this morning but brightened up in the afternoon. Perishing cold though.

                      The snow forecast for tomorrow was nowhere in evidence a couple of days ago so the forecasts are up the pole again despite multi-million pound computers.

                          Same here BBM, sunshine all the way and a temp of 9° Frosty here, reasonably thick but just hovered on freezing first thing. At the moment it's uniformly grey with absolutely no wind. If we do get snow it would be better if it got windy so as to move it quickly along to other places!

                          Glad to see S_A back with new computer that Santa brought him What did others here get that brought a smile to your face?

                            Morning, Anna and belated Happy Christmas - a dark dismal rainy December day here in the Duchy!

                              I'm not sure if that's any better than getting a sweetie from Santa

                              Frosty last night, but misty this morning. Yesterday was bright sunshine.

                                Not bad here this morning.

                                "Weather bombs" on the way, according to the newspapers, along with reports and forecasts of catastophic traffic. The BBc forecasts dont look too bad , certainly for the next week in there parts.

                                I sincerely wish that they would give up this domesday "reporting".
