Cyclo cross cheater unmasked & Snow yesterday for us!

Back to the health kicks on the front of the Express this morning, the headline says a new cholesterol busting drug it will be "available in months" the text says "with further work we might get to a point where it can replace or lower the dose of statins - - - The snowy picture on the lower part of the front page alleges Britain will be colder than Siberia - - - I dont think so! 

=========================================

A Belgian women elite cyclist has been banned for 6 six years after an electric motor was found hidden in her competition bike . the 19 year old was unmasked as a cheat at the world cyclo cross event in January.  The motor was discovered by officials using a scanning device.  - - - there is an interesting video explaining how they work and a demo of how an ordinary person can chop 4 minutes of a hill climb test using the motor 

=========================================

With the cold weather well and truly set for the last couple of days it was bright and sunny yesterday so after checking the rain radar and not seeing any around i opted to go and recover some more free wood 

this pile and another off shot filled Boris for one trip.  Returning the second time i noticed there was the odd flake of snow coming from a passing cloud!

 sure enough a couple of hours later the sleety snow was sweeping down the valley, by this time i was doing some work on the book 

i popped out into the garden to catch it but it was almost over as soon as it had arrived. 

 =============================================

WEATHER TODAY 

this morning its very frosty and the weathercam shows a clear sky and a setting moon 

The radar display is similar to yesterdays with scattered blobs of rain/snow about. The wet weather is approaching from WNW so we might not get any for a few hours.
===================================

 The Temp is falling now that dawn is here, no doubt the sun will reverse that shortly

the weathercam still shows the moon setting and a lovely clear sky.  The forecast is indicating a slight but increasing chance of some wet weather after lunch - - -
====================================================

Enjoy the day
