The Met office have updated their warnings now.

There are a few flecks blowing about in the wind here between Crowborough and T. Wells.

Just driven back from Crawley to Tunbridge Wells and there was heavy snow from Crawley to East Grinstead. Even though it had been raining all day it not take long to settle. Nothing near T.Wells but from what I saw it won't be long.

It was snowing very finely in Crowborough this morning. Had to almost squint to see it but it was certainly snow!!

Louby and Slinky B for me but it was a close run contest for me

We were about half an hour north of Dumfries in a small village called Thornhill. I have relatives that live in Wanlockhead which is about 20 mins away, that's were I took the misty and the waterfall photo.

And here is my non-weather related photos, also takin on holiday in Scotland.

Here are my weather related photos for this month. Taken in Scotland whilst on holiday!

After watching the Dispatches progamme on Bin Wars I was quite shocked to be told that out of all the recycling that people put out to be collected, they estimate that only 13% of it actually gets recycled. The rest of it ends up in landfill. If we are going to have a recycling I would like to see this figure improved on, otherwise it is a waste of resources. I totally disagree with taxing on a 'pay as you go' scheme. I don't expext for one moment there will be a reduction of council tax and considering that we pay about £1800 a year for a 2 bed house with 2 people living in it, I would feel absolutely disgusted if I had to pay again to have my rubbish removed. It would be better if the goverment did a reward scheme so they track the amount of recycling a household produces. Then again I don't like the idea of being tracked yet again. In response to the comments about fly-tipping, I have seen it happen close to where I live and I have no doubt that it would increase if we had to pay an additional tax. It's a despicable action and ruins the countryside and someone else ultimately pays for it.

I managed to get out for a few days to visit my nan in Hunstanton which is where the sunset photo was taken. The flower was taken in my garden yesterday just after it had rained.

I am doing a project for my Environmental Science course and would like some past data on the average temperature in the UK. I know the Met Office has data going back to 1998 but I would like to go back further than that. Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can obtain the data I require. Many many thanks Rachel :lol:
