they charts are no use when your colourblind like me.....they should have a diasbility button to assist me :)

I can see the different colours for snow and rain but cant differentiate between the shades... so for the south of England it could be a biblical flood or light drizzle in my eyes....hopefully a flood (laughs like Mutley) im joking my english cousins looking in....as Alan hansen would say some of my best friends are English

Hmmm... festive sleet marred a sunny day briefly but very pleasant apart from that. Just finished work for 10 days :yahoo: so I might have to crawl under the floorboards soon ;):drinks: :smilz38: :smiliz34:

Have fun folks!

"Parts of Scotland are expected to bask in the highest temperatures on Christmas Day, with eastern Scotland predicted to witness 14C (57.2F) – just shy of the 1896 warmest on record of 15.6C (60F)."

Maybe that Xmas turkey BBQ is not such a bad idea after all!

Mild and gusty, meh. :( Bring back the big freeze.

Bit sleety on route to Killearn earlier, but now just chilly @ 1.5C.

As with HC, I am off for the whole festive period for the first time in 20 years, but had to make room in Fridge as floorboards and ootside have just been too warm.

Will leave you all tonight with this.....

All employees planning to dash through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way, are advised that a Risk Assessment will be required addressing the safety of an open sleigh. This assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers.

Benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available for collection by any shepherds planning or required to watch their flocks at night. While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all users of this facility are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks.

The angel of the Lord is additionally reminded that, prior to shining his/her glory all around, s/he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.

Following last years well-publicisedcase, everyone is advised that Equal Opportunities legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr R Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence.

While it is acknowledged that gift bearing is a common practice in various parts of the world, particularly the Orient, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages. It is particularly noted that direct gifts of currency or gold are specifically precluded, while caution is advised regarding other common gifts such as aromatic resins that may evoke allergic reactions.

Finally, in the recent instance of the infant found tucked up in a manger without any crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly

Merry Christmas to everyone...

At least people will be able to get around easily this year.. and we'll all save a bit on the fuel bills.

Wet, wild and mild.... 8C, so glad we had all done, just a quick jolly to local store to stock up "under the floorboards" as HC would say.

Merry Christmas to one and all, have a great time, and hope for the snaw machine to power up for the new year.

The one good thing about the weather this year as opposed to the last two christmases is that I won't be sat on here for hours on end on the big day looking at how the uppers are/ if there are any unexpected snow bands heading our way. The cold will be back sooner than you think http://hw.nwstatic.co.uk/gfsimages/gfs.20111224/06/111/h850t850eu.png but unlikely for very long http://hw.nwstatic.co.uk/gfsimages/gfs.20111224/06/135/h500slp.png

Signs of vortex weakening/splitting in the new year perhaps? http://hw.nwstatic.co.uk/gfsimages/gfs.20111224/06/384/npsh500.png

Ensembles trending towards a cooler zonality once again in FI http://hw.nwstatic.co.uk/ensimages/ens.20111224/06/t850Fife.png perhaps spurred on by signs of a Canadian High.
