Fair bit of snow midst the heaps........traffic chaos....

There actually was some snow down here this morning - large snowflakes falling fast at 7 when I peered out, but only for an hour; and with the temperature a fraction above freezing it only settled for a short while.

Best of luck Mahlerei - I hope it goes well

Best wishes Mahlerei,Salymap,BBM and anyone struggling healthwise at the moment.
Asthma playing up a bit here too.
Very very cold but thankfully no snow in Manchester.

Thanks on behalf of Mahlerei and myself. I should have said he has a detached implant in one eye which has to be removed and, hopefully, something new put in its place. It may take a while to have the op but I know we all wish him well.
And BBM, I had a friend with asthma and it's not to be sneezed at, a very nasty complaint.

My best wishes to Mahlerei and I hope you are keeping warm salymap. There was quite a bit of snow down in this corner of Kent yesterday and the ground is frozen hard this morning. Hard to keep an old house warm.

The three jays in the garden have learned to feed from the peanuts feeder and competing with the squirrels. A 20kg bag doesn’t last very long.

First subzero midday temperature of the winter here after moderate frost last night (-4 C)

Best wishes by way of saly to Mahlerei - (We'll have to keep a Mahler Eye on him now!) - and keep some for yourself, saly!

I liked the kid on that trailer's reply in broad Zummerzet when asked had he missed school: "I'm not at libburr'ee to say!"

I have acquired a secondhand book called - The Barometer! It's written by Ron Lobeck who was a Naval meteorologist and then a tv weatherman in the 80s. Haven't had a chance to do more than briefly dip into it but it's about barometers, air pressure, weather generally, forecasting, etc.

It took until around 11am for it to get above 1° and the frost to clear then it started to drizzle about midday and heavy rain is forecast to move in later here but not turning to snow.
