LOCAL WEATHER NOW AND FORECAST FOR TODAY
==============================
Once again today there is very little in the way of rain/snow on the display apart from the blobs up in Scotland 
Another cold morning brings with it my usual cold shot of the data from my old weather station, it will recover soon .  A secondary model tells me its -4.4 C and likely to get a shade colder before its fully light.
Update 07:16 
 the machine gets its act together and produces the data with a -4.2 C
The weathercam view is just about picking out the forecast cloud cover after what must have been a clear night to produce the frost this morning

Its strange that my first ever weather recorder, an ageing Flink that just has a Temp sensor outside i had set to record Fahrenheit not long ago.  I just changed it back to centigrade because apart from 32 F being zero i couldn't relate to any of the other F figure readings? - - -   


 Local weather forecast 
Met O: A very cold start to the day with a widespread frost at first. Rather cloudier skies extending from the north by daybreak, will persist across the park through the day, although some bright or sunny intervals are still likely, more especially in the east of the park. However, it should remain dry.
Visibility: Generally good or very good but possibly very poor in any isolated hill fog patches.
Hill Fog: Isolated patches possible across the highest tops during the afternoon.
Max wind above 400m: Westerly 20-25mph, gusts 30-35mph later.
Temperature: Valleys:Minus 3 Celsius rising Plus 6 Celsius
600m:Plus 2 degrees Celsius.
Freezing level: Near the surface at first, otherwise just above summits.

Yahoo: Today - Cloudy with a high of 44 °F (6.7 °C). Winds variable at 2 to 9 mph (3.2 to 14.5 kph).
Tonight - Mostly cloudy. Winds variable at 7 to 9 mph (11.3 to 14.5 kph). The overnight low will be 38 °F (3.3 °C).

Yesterday we managed to complete a couple of small jobs on the bathroom project before dashing around like there was no tomorrow completing other tasks.  Returning from one of my excursions i spotted from some way off a hot air balloon around where the Derwent and Wye rivers join.  On my way down into the valley i stopped to take a photo 
 it had moved little since i spotted it and with the frosty morning and clear skies it looked fantastic
 and a landscape shot
 unfortunately my ageing iPhone 4 doesn't take a zoomed shot very well.
The afternoon was also sunny so we took the opportunity to wrap up and sit in the top greenhouse and sip a glass of wine 
the weathercam view shows how low the sun was in the sky and it wasn't long before the Temp took a dive as it left the valley 
LM thought it was highly amusing that we were sat in the greenhouse as he perched on the pergola with a "what you doing? expression .

 News? 
The Express banners have an advent calendar for a fiver as well as a £50 Christmas tree dinner service set for £50 - - - 
The main headline has us believing that coffee is now good to fight off dementia while TM the PM stares out at us as she "gets massive Brexit boost" i saw elsewhere that Mrs Merkel is blocking the PM's exit plans so all might not be as rosy as its made out to be - - -
