Brighter day here in central Glossop... a pleasant surprise haha.. have not seen the sun since i cameback from my glorious cruise in the Med where i had 20c + specially when i reached Palermo and Valetta .. 24c when i left Bcn last saturday at midday. Back in Glossopia!

[Day 10]

Second half of the GFS 6z just a tad chilly!

[WillinGlossop]

 raul_sbd welcome back to glorious Glossopia sounds like you had great weather

 

 

 Rush2019 it’s meant to be overcast in puxatawny today so I’m going six more weeks of winter 

[raul_sbd]

 WillinGlossop Thank you Will!! and on a positive note the fruits/veg shop in Glossop is not closing.. new ownership!! yehhh

[WillinGlossop]

 raul_sbd is that the market square one? 

[Chris.R]

Candlemas today. Always like Candlemas as it reminds me that spring is around the corner. Maybe we have some more winter to enjoy first though.

Back after my op; a solid 2 weeks recovery so far and all is good; shame about the weather

 

9ºC and blustery here; dry at least... For now!

Keeping my eye on the Highlands weather currently as we're up there Sunday 11th for probably 2 weeks... Looks like the chances of snow/cold weather are on the up thankfully!

[raul_sbd]

 WillinGlossop Its called Sowerbutts, expensive but nice fruits there

[WillinGlossop]

 raul_sbd we’ve just been to sowerbutts… didn’t know they were going to close/change ownership? Have a points card with them… 

Glad they’re staying… always try to support local businesses if we can….

 Rush2019 lol I can see it just from here at the top of Bollington rd  at daughters farm house near the moss ,surprisingly mild here 

 Iceaxecrampon wife’s families farm is at Roanhead 

[A Face like Thunder]

A  lovely day, but genuinely lovely, not Cumbria M6 lovely 

[Scuba steve]

Punxsutawney Phil going for an early spring

[Had Worse]

 Rush2019 a good ground hog day would be opening the curtains and its snowing  then the next day same again and so on. If it started and repeated every day and 6" fell, thats what you'd get every day. No more no less.

Ive posted about candlemas day in separate thread..for me it marks the mid point of winter despite early spring signs. Mid winter in climate terms ie. mid point of coldest part of the year. 

 A Face like Thunder Not Cumbria M6 lovely.. not clear what you mean?

Its a poor day here, low cloud, light rain and drizzle.. grey and dismal.

[WillinGlossop]

Whether it’s rain or snow next week gfs going for 60-70mm next week… Tuesday through Saturday 

just had amazing Paddys steak mushrooms fried potatoes and spinach Friday steak deal at mettricks and veg from sowerbutts…  Friday dinners (continuing with bigger lunches than teas from January, and it is Friday)

[Ghost of winters past]

Grey and murky after a bright start

Decided to save a few quid and try to fix the Hoover myself earlier...which went well...........(several screws and pieces over?)

As the great Homer simpson once said " If at first you don`t succeed, NEVER try again"

[iand61]

Cloudy but just about dry morning turned into a cloudy but damp and drizzly afternoon.

depressing stuff.

 

 

[Cheshire Freeze]

Some warmth in the sun today

[Scuba steve]

 damianslaw got some of that on way down dry at Preston though 

[A Face like Thunder]

 damianslaw sorry, I was quoting iceaxecrampon (above) but could not 'quote' as in the old days.

Been a really nice Groundhog day here but clouding over now. Hoping for more of the same nice weather over the weekend. 

[Rush2019]

Not much sun here, not complaining as not had the drizzle like some.  Felt fit enough for a walk again today, depressing to see the amount of buildings going up left, right and centre, but the signs of Spring cheered me up.  To have some snow would be great.
