Welcome to my Blog, bringing you my weather observations through North East Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, North Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and into the City of York during my daily commute from Melton Mowbray, by car and train.

Thursday 13th March 2008:

Cool, Calm and Disrupted.

Melton Mowbray 06:30hrs 3.8'C

Yesterday afternoon the high winds caused damage to the overhead power lines on the rail line between York and Doncaster. I was the wrong side of the problem and didn't get home until 2200.

This morning it is a totally different day, blue sky, bright and calm if a little on the cool side. Very much the same conditions throughout the commute from Melton to Grantham and onto York this morning.

The wind damage on the East Coast Main Line is still being repaired and the train took the "scenic route" around a few power stations to get into York.

Temperature at 06:30 was 3.8'C, lowest recorded overnight temperature 3.3'C. Pressure at 06:30 was 1009 hPa

Tomorrow: Cool with possible cloud.
