I'm praying that today's output comes to fruition. I'm booked in for my annual caravan week in North Wales from 26th (can't afford anything where I'm guaranteed warmth and sunshine). Please please Weather Gods grant me today's output!
Not sure what the weather has been doing in the south of the region but here near Penrith it's been mainly cloudy with a bit of sun and a bit of drizzle. Not that it's bothered me and my wee boy as we've been at Centre Parcs swimming in the hot outside spa pool :-)
This is sounding pretty scarey now. I can't remember the last time we've had winds and gusts for such a prolonged period and at this strength. Lights flickering, windows creaking, howling down the chimney.

The worst is yet to come for us up North.
We've got some fabulous posters in the MOD working with far less data than the Met O. If it does all go pear shaped I for one will feel very sad for those who spend so much time compiling those informative posts. I wish we had access to the same data as the Met O :-(
Whilst I am lurking in the mod thread and quietly getting excited I have to constantly remind myself that it would take something truly exceptional to give my back yard a dollop of snow. Ever the optimist I live in hope.
