Sorry for your loss if I could I'd give you a little hug I would. My mum has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer last week and has a growth on her kidney so suffice to say it's been a worrying time lately and they aren't sure how long she has left. Didn't want to put a dampner on this thread before the snow arrived so didn't say anything. Been here there and everywhere with her for tests, scans and biopsies over the last few weeks. Been a kick in the teeth really as she's never seen me truly happy in my life so far as I've had a lot of problems. Just as I was getting my life on track more than ever before we got this bad news. Feel bad that I've not really had long with her as she had me at nearly 44 and I'm 38 now. One thing I'll say though is your mum wouldn't want you to be sad forever about her, this is what my mum said to me the other day. She said live your life Gareth I've had mine, I don't want you to be sad about me all the time after I go as it's not what I would've wanted for you, this made me feel a bit better. Like @Had Worsesays time is a healer as well.

Sorry to hear your news Dark Horse… best wishes and hugs to you and your mum wise words from your mother too

Aye agree, I have nearly 99 year old Nan, dementia probably stage 6, always aware when I see her, could be last time, but a great age! hope I'll be going to King's Bromley for a while yet though

Rush are you clocking 5.4C in Macc?? might have to check batteries  and recalibrate my recorder

Yes, please bear in mind that I  am in the middle of town, so I will be that bit warmer than out in the rurals.  Current temp for 6.30pm for my location 4.2°C, weather station higher up in the hills is 3°C.

[Had Worse]

The uneaten article 

[severe snowstorm]

A miserable day today, overcast and gloomy with outbreaks of rain at times and a max temp of 4.4C. Just about the worst type of weather at this time of year.

[Kasim Awan]

Reached 24cm now drip drip drip.

[Chris.R]

Constant rain all day at times heavy. 6.1 mm accumulated.

 

Currently 3.9°C.

Sorry about your mum, tough time ahead for you both, my thoughts with you.

[Joe Bloggs]

Best wishes to @Iceaxecrampon and @Dark Horse

[Chris.R]

Best wishes to you both from me as well

[severe snowstorm]

Yes, thoughts are with you @Dark Horse  it's sounds like a very tough time for you all.

[Cheshire Freeze]

What a grim, grim spell of weather.

15mm for the day accumulated courtesy of steady light to moderate rain.

@Dark Horseall the best to you mate.

[damianslaw]

Not the best of days. Intermittent light rain, not enough to thaw the deep snow, it is melting slowly, there was no sun either with temps holding around 4 degrees all day.

Tomorrow promises to bring some sunshine and a sharp frost.

Thursday onwards set to be a very drab wet dark affair. 

[raul_sbd]

@Dark Horseand @Iceaxecrampon best wishes… after a grey day like today the sun will shine again soon  for you guys

Wish it was here. Continuous rain since yesterday afternoon and everywhere is very wet underfoot. At least it's mild now, although the forecast suggests we will be having one more cold night tonight before the mild weather really kicks in.
