We still have to play them at their place and after the stuffy wins they have enjoyed against us over the last few seasons we are due some luck. somehow though I don’t think anyone will dare spoil the script of what could be Wenger’s last home game so 7th it probably is for us then.
-
Same here with the first two although I didn’t bother putting a bet on so the national winner didn’t matter either way to my pocket.
-
True but the bedrooms are practically in the roof space so it doesn’t cool down much overnight. we’ve lived in this house over 20 years now and during hot weather regularly get upstairs temperatures of over 28c. its nowt that a good shower won’t sort though and as someone who likes warm weather a price worth paying.
-
On top of the covers with the windows open. TBH our house faces south east and is like an oven in warm weather not that we get much of that up here.
-
After the last few months I can’t wait for some heat, even if it comes with humidity.
-
Opened the curtains to same old cloud, dank, drizzle and this is supposed to be the better day of the weekend. just hope the improvement forecast for later on arrives otherwise the fence painting is on hold again.
-
Another disappointing day, wet morning with a dry spell during the afternoon and then the usual 5 o’clock return of low cloud and drizzle and a maximum of 9c. as for the weekend, it looks like a game of two halves, better on Saturday before more wet, miserable weather on Sunday but temperatures do look to be on the rise so hopefully not to perishing sat on the football.
-
Cheers or I could send my fence and paint up so you can do it in your desert part of the region.
-
Can I have your fence if it’s been painted. 4 panels at 4 ft will do for a start.
-
Slightly better than yesterday in that it way dry and cold rather than drizzly and cold. never mind though, the drizzle has arrived just in time to stop me painting the fence for yet another day.
-
Flown into Manchester from holiday many times and can hardly remember when there wasn’t annoying cloud over the region.
-
Yep I shouldn’t complain really as we did ok from the snowy easterlies but this stuff is crap and certainly not the fence painting weather I wanted. anyway a glimmer of hope from Di Ox showing dry and steadily warmer over the weekend and into next week. it can’t come soon enough for me and my heating bill.
-
8c and the third day of drizzle up here. technically mild and it’s only April but yuk. never mind though at least there is the promise of something warmer in the coming days down south so at least we can sit in our lower teens and cloud while others enjoy the first period of lower 20’s and beer garden conditions.
-
It’s certainly felt like winter here. got to 7c but even the sunshine had no warmth to it.
-
Any chance of some warm weather, i’m fed up with winter now off to North Yorkshire coast for a couple of days over Easter and would love shorts and t shirt conditions but I suppose i’ll settle for anything less than full arctic gear.
-
Still a few flakes coming down and a bit of blowing snow but nothing compared to earlier. Pretty impressive stuff while it lasted though
-
A few local shots but then the cavalry arrived.
-
The problem is that the warnings are based on probability of impacts and although I can understand it not being extended during the dry afternoon yesterday, the snow set in here at about 6pm and it’s been pretty well constant blizzard conditions since. It’s the failure to not react and extend as conditions deteriorated overnight that I don’t understand.
-
BBC forecast shows the snow clearing shortly but there are still some pretty bright radar echoes across the South Pennines so another couple of hours may yet be on the cards. one thing is for sure, the Met O underestimated the snow IMBY with us comfortably outside of the Amber area throughout and yet most local roads either blocked or virtually impassible
-
Same here.
-
I can’t speak for Rawtenstall but higher up the valley in Bacup this is what we’ve got and it’s still coming down like mad. i don’t know how much as fallen because the wind has blown in around but i’d imagine at least 6 inches and I wouldn’t be surprised if we have drifts of over 6 feet within a few minutes walk of here. this reminds me so much of 22nd March 2013 and that was the worst since 1979.
-
There never is much evidence of gritting in Bacup, especially when ice and snow is forecast but tonight is bad, probably the worst blizzard here since the one in late March 2013. i’m quite looking forward to seeing the drifts up the lane tomorrow.
-
Sounds promising. you know which way to send them, up the Calder Valley and then straight over the tops at Todmorden, i’ll be sat there waiting.
-
Even at my altitude it’s not your average March Saturday night.
-
Still a full on blizzard here, a lot worse IMBY than little beast’s big brother at the beginning of the month.
