a little scattering in Kendal earlier today but sunny now
Nothing in the South Midlands but the lovely sunshine has just been replaced with blanket greyness.
edit - ten minutes later. It's snowing
2nd edit - All the cloud has headed off towards south Wales and left us with the sun again.
Coming down nice and heavy in Harrogate.
A long time ago I was driving back from my then in-laws in Harrogate to my then home in Todmorden with the first Mrs Splatcher. The snow came down heavier & heavier, & by the time we got to Hebden Bridge everything ground to a halt as a bus got stuck on the hill going west out of town. We parked up in about 8 inches of snow & walked up the hill to my mum's house in Heptonstall. That was the night Halifax police station was filled with stranded motorists overnight. Tell the younger generation that, & they won't believe you. We lived in a shoebox at th'edge o't' canal. Mind you, Tod's still pretty much like that. Gravel for breakfast -delicious.
