I'm very much enjoying the in no way sensationalist tone of this article.Quote:

Good luck to all those running, I'm putting my feet up this year!
" .... risk of rain turning to snow." Gosh. You would think it was winter.Quote:

though the main storm is due on Friday night so we should just get the tail end. First half could be hard work, straight into the wind...
Bonus, all I need is a fat bloke slightly faster than me...Quote:

Normal winter's day according to MWIS

It's looking to be quite balmy - warmest so far and 15-20 deg C HOTTER than in 2010.
Looking at the latest forecast it looks as though the worst of any rain will be towards the end of the day for an hour or two. The racing snakes will already be home and dry before it arrives.
I'll be leaving for Askham before long and getting registered tonight (after 8pm). If anyone will be in the Queen's Head for dinner I'll see you there.
At least the wind will be behind our backs by then. Assuming we make it that far!
