Quotevery squelchy and wet
That reassures me we made the right decision.  It's so lovely today I can't believe all that horrid weather is coming tomorrow.

According to my forecast it will cloud up by 8pm and snow tomorrow evening with sub-zero temperatures.

Anyway, hope you manage to get something over the days you are there.

Well I think that was the right decision.   :cheesy:

Snow has come earlier than predicted.

Is it snowing there Roger, difficult to see from your photo, that's a nice shot of the Robin.

Still snowing in Bromley.

Only had about a centimeter this morning , none since then.
Most of it has gone now , drove out at 2 to get provisions , roads are fine so far.

People from SGL went to an Astro camp in Salisbury (including our Dave who comes to Cairds) and they are sitting in a field in thick snow.

How's it going Roger?

Snows thin on the ground but its about -2ish and colder in the wind during the day so if it clears tonight then the temperature will plummet further. Even the bird life seems to be taking cover from the cold as nothing about earlier when i took the binos out for a walk.
