Chilly dry morning, north westerly wind, ideal for dog walking, some blackies and thrushes having a sing song.

Just watching BBC breakfast, national weather forecast guy says it will be a much better weekend and not so stormy. BBC Scottish weather forecast is warning of the potential of flooding because of heavy rain and damaging wind gusts    So far, this morning, the Scottish forecast is spot on as it's pouring down and blowing a gale 

Trust your all keeping warm north of the border, cool and dry here, chilly night though.wind has dropped some what.
Real nasty wet weekend.

Ha ! been trying now for over a fortnight to get the van jacked  up high enough to allow access to underside for some Waxoyling. Woke this morning early with great intentions and just opened back door when the sleet/snow started! ... Have not had a dry day since arriving home with the new  van and almost constant high/freezing  winds that make it miserable to work in and waxoyl needs splitting with an axe to fit the spray gun!   ... Another day huddled by the fire .... Roll on summer!

Due to the ultra wet winter I'm itching to try out some Patio Magic on our paving. It's supposed to kill of moss and algae, leaving a clean surface.

Trouble is it needs a minimum of two dry days to work. I don't think we've had two consecutive dry days since last August.

Turned really cold again, clear sky's ,good view of the space station .
Forecasted to be down at zero overnight , wee heater going on in the van later.

Here in the North Staffs Badlands the Beeb forecast heavy snow showers from 10pm tonight to 2am tomorrow morning but the temp only drops to 1C

Just heard a weather forecaster say "It will be wetter in some places than others"... seriously???

I notice that our local earthworms have given up the sodden lawns and are striking out across the pavements. Have they interned with lemmings?

Frost down this morning , not to bad under foot, no wind, clear sky,hint of the sun raising, birds singing.
NO snow here, yippee.   
Boaby

Dull, grey and drizzling, no sign of snow.

No snow here either despite forecast. We were forecast sleet and hail yesterday, so the town council cancelled the annual pancake race, only to have a dry sunny but bitterly cold day.

Light covering of snow/sleet, overcast ,no wind chilly, that s about it really, not nice for dog walking.

Given up on any external work on the van or the property, on the rare occasion when the suns out ,it's too cold to apply anything.
As you say Kaspian, roll,on summer ( without the midge)

No snow but plenty more rain overnight.

Wee touch o frost. Dry,no wind, ideal for dog walking, B/birds & thrushes giving it wellie.

We've got that horrible sleety rain and it's bitterly cold. If it had been a little more dry, I would have tried to sneak out to get a photo of the Sparrowhawk that's currently devouring a pigeon in my next door neighbours garden 

Torrential rain. Had to go out to put breeze blocks and planks in lane adjacent to our house to divert flooded catchpit from flowing into us. Succeeded so far, but gravel surface of lane washed away, down to highway. Soaked to the skin!  Still pouring so may be a restless night....

But we're lucky. Bought a new Hyundai last month. Due in for update of navigation system. But Monday's BBC Wales news showed a clip of all the gleaming new cars in the showroom - all with a foot-well full of filthy brown water. All but one of about 50+ cars flooded. The exception had been left up in the air on a ramp in the workshops.  So I'm not complaining about our bit of drama.
