Well, so much for all the snow that we were meant to be getting. It's peeing hard with rain again.

Same here. There are a lot of disappointed children.

The decision was taken last night to close all the schools around here because of the possibility of snow.

It's now sleeting....

Similar here. Last night Flintshire decided no schools open today, but Denbighshire decided to wait until 7am for a decision.... Denbighshire schools are open. We have a little sleet mixed in the rain right now.....

If we did not have The Monkey visiting I may well have gotten Hugh out for a run on Saturday. By the time she'd headed off on Sunday it was threatening rain so I scarified the lawn instead... Its been hosing it down on and off the last few days and the forecast for this weekend, with a clear diary, is of course pants!

Morning all. Knee is improving daily, not yet up to running but getting there.

So much for the snow then. It just rained, and now we're back to the greyness and drizzle. It would be good to have some cold, clear, dry, and bright weather.

Good news on the knee. Yeah, no snow here after all the hoo-haa but it must have rained hard in the night..... usual suspect drains all blocked again on the dog walk this morning and lots of water running down the road.

I suspect there will be a lot of surface water here too. Just going to take Mabel for a walk, so I shall see what it's like.
