The sun is shining here, I've had to adjust the blinds to see the screen. Still cold though not as bad as other places.

Sun shining here after a very soggy night. Sleet threatened for later .

You may enjoy this story on the Beeb's website. Silly b*****s.

Should have Clarkson weeping anyway.

Just proves that money does not guarantee ability (in this case to drive safely)

That white stuff is a nuisance

Had the shock of my life when I spotted it yesterday on the M8 going through to Edinburgh . City centre there was slushy and a bit slippery at 10.00am but down Leith Walk it was totally clear of the stuff.

Today my garden is covered and it's alternating between thick big snowflakes and thawing in the sun .

Weird.

My sunshine is alternating with heavy rain and hail showers. In the middle of a hail shower right now - but the sun is shining too - now that is weird.

No snow - yet.

The rain is colder than usual here so it must be winter

Snow on the hills above (and a bit to the left of) our house but none yet at Chateau Stu
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Come on guys - stop complaining - just be glad it's not June.

What is amazing is we had the driest November on record, and the paths in the woods were rock hard. First sign of rain and they have all turned into ankle deep blubber again.

I'm happy we don't have any snow. I hope it stays that way all winter too.

Nothing I know of, but the complaints would be justified if it were June.

I thought you guys up North sneered at inclement weather, walked barefoot to the privy at the bottom of the garden, took the ice off the water butt before bathing.

Bathing ????????????? That`s for cissies and Southern softies - up here we beat ourselves with damp copies of the Liverpool Echo !!!!! As for a privy at the bottom of the garden - that`s where we live - we rent it off t` landlord who`s a rich bloke with glass in the windows and two bikes.
