Ok own up, who's nicked our clouds?? Was all excited before after a very clear sky day and some clouds moved in and it was about 2.2 on the thermometer outside thinking snow was coming, just been back out and someone's half inched them lol..... It's now about 1.2 c here in Leyland.

Its about 3.2 here in leyland (south lancs) been a lovely,sunny but cold day, still slight bit of snow from the other day on the grass hut nowt to shout home about. Im hoping that christmas day its going to be ok cause my partner is travelling over here from barnsley in south yorkshire and driving right over the pennines, then going back in the evening.

*sniffs armpits*

Just taken the dog and it's bitter out there. The pavements and roads are very slippy. Thick ice on the cars and that lovely crunch you get when you walk on the frozen grass.

Current temp -1.6c

Dewpoint -1.7c

Crystal clear skies. Perfect for stargazing.

Hi there, thanks for the welcome on the other thread you've just closed just my luck that lol....yeah your just up the road from me, i noticed you last week on here as i have been following the Atlantic storms thread all week before joining today. I sometimes use the name Lancs Lass too lol or hotpot! So i saw you weren't far from me.nice to meet you btw.

It's freezing here which im sufe its the same in Preston,depending which part your in, a bit flat here in Leyland, all crunchy underfoot though like you say, im hoping its going to be mild on the 22nd as we have an important appointment at Alder Hey childrens hospital with my son, so hoping Liverpool is going to be mild.

Dam it i have the same forum for my site but it just doesnt like my ipad! My last post i couldnt find the bottom of the coding, so what ive typed has sort of mingled in with your post Lancashire Lass, sorry about that, i know its a pain, but i cant change it, forgetting im just for once, not the admin lol

Well here in Leyland (south lancs) we had really heavy snow yesterday, at first it wasnt sticking but then we got a decent covering. Today its all gone now due to the heavy rain and then slight sleety rain this aft. Just the odd fluffy cloud in a blue sky now, very cold though. Hey ho c'mon snow!
