About time Will.  Let's hope it's not the last of 2024..........

Is it really 2024?  I typed 2014 initially.   2024.  Doesn't look right.

Please close them and keep them shut.  Yesterday was beautiful.  Today was a bit grim.   Don't let that stuff out.........

A light shortlived dousing of rain at teatime otherwise a dry day, contrary to the forecasts. There is a batch of heavy convective rain over E Yorkshire whether it makes it here remains to be seen..

Morning.  Tis a bit grim, dark, misty and damp.  Lots of snails around the garden this morning.  8.6°C, I've got the heating on for a quick blast.  I'm buying a tent today, for when I'm out on long hikes, there, that's jinxed our summer now. 🏕

A damp start to the day and looking at the forecast, not much of an improvement likely up here in the hills at least until later this afternoon and possibly well into tomorrow.

It’s not our turn for the football tickets this afternoon so looks like we are off down to the other end of the Irwell for a mooch around with a bit of shopping and a few beers to keep essential hydration levels up.

tomorrow is then hopefully a few dry hours spent tidying up in the garden.

 

 

 

 

[severe snowstorm]

Cloudy and damp to start the day here. I was hoping to go and watch some cricket at Old Trafford today, but not sure how much play there will be.

[iand61]

Just walked down to the town centre to post a birthday card and it’s more damp in the air than actually raining or drizzling but it’s miserable all the same.

it reminds me of a typical November day.

[damianslaw]

A damp start, looks like we had a decent dose of rain overnight. A very slow clearance of cloud expected with drizzle on and off.

[A Face like Thunder]

A damp gloomy start to the day but 1-2 signs of it brightening up, although I'm not holding my breath on the sun coming out.

[iand61]

 Had Worse aye true

I should have said how the weather used to be before me needing a car for work completely screwed up the climate for us all.

[Scuba steve]

Horrible government cloud seeding in full operation

[WillinGlossop]

May the 4th be with you

[Scuba steve]

 WillinGlossop forgot about that

[Had Worse]

Definitely been as wet as the Forth for the last 10 months. Think we need to repel the Forth for a few months. 

[Scuba steve]

 Had Worse that’s first of three there isn’t a fourth

[damianslaw]

Perpetual persistant fine drizzle all day, low cloud, cool, max 12 degrees, the SW airstream must be back.. preety grim day all round. 

[A Face like Thunder]

We've been OK since mid-morning and a nice end to the day here in Crewe.

[WillinGlossop]

Sun came out at Etihad and Haaland had his scoring hat on to boot ️️️️️ happy days..3 points… traditional curry at Ruchi to celebrate
