Oh my goodness, the gales have arrived!

Good morning, we had three snow showers between 5.30 and 6 am. starting to melt now.

Snowed last night but slushy this morning.

Sorry to hear your news about your brother, kitty. I hope he can get things repaired and back to normality soon.

Sewsilver I could see the snowy hilltops where you are from the M60 near the Trafford Centre yesterday. It looked magnificent. We had lashings of hailstones at this end. Not quite the same! hmm

Dull,damp and depressing here in Cheshire.

I should be out now but I was too weary to drag my bones out of bed in time.
However I'm having a quick lunch out with my friend before we go to her surgeon to discuss her possible double mastectomy! sad

Looking forward to babysitting tonight though sunshine

Good morning. Beautiful snow on the hills and none on the roads or paths. Just how I like it! Snow is for looking at not for walking in.
Kitty how dreadful for your brother

That's awful, Kitty, what a blow for your brother. Just started raining here, very cold.

Ariadne Wed 12-Feb-14 09:14:30

Needless to say, it is pouring with rain here in North Devon, and the wind is getting up too.

Morning all!!

Well, you will be surprised to hear that it is grey and dull again here in N. Leicestershire but I really shouldn't complain. I really feel for those people still suffering floods.

Not the same at all, but my brother has a cottage in Cornwall which got flooded both before Christmas and after. A friend who lives in the village baled it out for him last week and put the wood-burner on to dry it out. A daft idea as it turns out but done with the best of intentions. The kitchen caught fire and a 300 year old lintel, the main support at the back, was largely burnt away. sad

Overcast here in Manc, but braced for the storm later on. Heard on the news this morning that water in the flooded areas may not subside until May. What a dreadful prospect for the all the poor souls with ruined homes or devastated businesses.

Good morning from Malta. Another lovely day here so am off out to enjoy it. Sorry for all those having foul weather, especially those dealing with flooded homes and businesses.

Good morning everyone, at the moment it is dry, and it was sunny! It is my knit and natter morning this morning, but with all the water which is lying around on the roads, I have decided that since I do not need to go out I will not add to the traffic on the roads which are in a terrible state at the moment. Thoughts are still with those whose homes are flooded.

Good morning! its dry in Cheshire but grey. It is supposed to get stormy here later on.

lefthanded Wed 12-Feb-14 08:22:13

Dry at the moment - but I don't think it will last here in South Wales. I'm on the school-run this morning (and for the next few weeks) as my son has had his other carpal-tunnel operation done and he won't be driving for a while.

Brendawymms Wed 12-Feb-14 08:20:50

The weather in Worthing has yet to reach this bit of East Sussex. I have cancelled a trip out though as due 'green' rain and high winds at time of return. Back to Dentist today. Antibiotics not worked.

NanKate Wed 12-Feb-14 08:07:13

Down here in the Thames Valley if I stand on grass when out walking it squelches with water - it's definitely another wellie day.

D0LLIE Wed 12-Feb-14 08:02:05

Bez Wed 12-Feb-14 07:51:04

Good morning everyone.
We have a bright sunny morning so far - long may it last!

12Michael Wed 12-Feb-14 07:16:19

Good Morning Everyone,
Its clear and bright here in Brackley at the moment signs of moisture though.
