Plenty of rain here . Hope we don't get snow here or in Kent tomorrow or on 23rd, they are the
days I will be travelling. Would hate to miss Christmas with the family.

We had a covering of snow a few weeks back, about an inch, but it was gone by the morning.  I'm not fussed about cold, but I do need dry.  Son's had rugby cancelled tomorrow, and I've got a couple of days off next week and wanted to get the digging finished.

We had snow this afternoon to about 5sh, not too much but enough to send out the council gritters.  Weather tomorrow is to be bad across the S.England with Gales, yes, winter is def. here.   ::)

Hi

We had lots of rain this morning (at mother in laws near birmingham) till about 11am when it cleared up wonderfuly with blue skys.

Came home to find that our bins had to be rescued from the road having moved 10ft in high winds, and my back garden has pools of standing water so i guess that its rained very heavly here. It had stopped when i got back.

Its 9 degrees here so i cant see it snowing  :'(

Glad to see the back of the rain today, but still got the wind and its bl**dy cold out. Still once I get used to it I don t mind the cold that much.

I hate wind though.
