Creeping to DRL....
My I present some figures for today..
Minimum overnight -1.7C, Current 9.0C. Fairly bright, but high level cloud increasing now.
Winds picking up now from the SSE (gusts to 12 mph).
Looking forward to the weekend, looks as if we will miss the core of the beast, but we should still see some convective type showers, and just still possible a longer period of snow. Looks as if the Wash streamer could be perfect for us.
Still quite up-beat about events. I just hope the farmers are made aware.as it is in the middle of the lambing season.
Talking of countryside, I see that the first osprey back to Rutland Water is 'Maya', earliest ever recorded date, and she is now live on their webcam for anyone interested.
She must have caught the southerly winds moving up from Africa at the current time, to be here this early.
I am sure she will be alright with the cold, though a big prolonged freeze on the Water could make her fishing very difficult.!
Anyway make the most of today, rain most of tomorrow, followed by snow showers from Sat pm looks to be the order of events.
PSS
What a total disaster for Utd last night. 4 shots at goal in each of their last 2 home-games,? Wow, will Jose survive?
MIA

Just a quick question.
i am due to pick up family from East Midlands Airport at 7.30pm, Do you think this system will cause problems this far North.
i have a 4x4 so can travel, but may leave earlier to avoid poor conditions, if its bad, family can always book into airport hotel, haha.
anyone help out with sensible predictions, I,m coming down from Peak District so need to prepare carefully.
A6 or a38 down to a50 at Toyota island ?
