The Express lets us know that it will be cold for a few days more
The traffic centre pic form Glasgow gives a good idea of the problems the city is experiencing from the recent snowfall. This
BBC NEWS Story has plenty of information and pics to view. There's an interesting one of a display showing where all the gritters are across the area - - -
Yesterdays walk was a bit of a trial - - -
having driven to through some rain to get there the car park area above Curbar was a little breezy, i could see the approaching rain clouds and guessed i had 20 minutes before they would get to me
up on the open ground and looking East i could see the rain i had driven through earlier over Chesterfield area
looking right into the wind the sun is highlighting the rain with a mini rainbow
its only 400 metres away now and the wind is gusting to well over 40mph. I'm still in the sunshine but not for long
I make my way down to the shelter of the wall in the previous pic as the rain and hail arrive.
after 20 minutes behind the wall (i was on the far ridge line and made my way down to the wall just below it) the rain eases just a little and i decide to make my way along the wall in the pic then back to the car. The wind is still blowing a gale at this point
these cows trot across their field to see what im doing, they are in the lee off the hill and out of the wind but nonetheless very wet!
back at the car park the wind is still howling but the rain is largely gone. By the time i get back home the sun is briefly shining! but the rest of the day is a snowy rainy windy affair
the current stats show its a cold morning and looking out on a very wet front garden the rain and snow looks to have been going on for most of the night. Its currently snowing and blowing - - - I need to get to a meeting in Chesterfield this morning - - - methinks its time to fire up Boris!!
Enjoy the day
