Odd - the weather down here today was glorious. I suspect more Atlantic mayhem will be rolling in from points West tonight though..

Perfect blue here too. I think it was Ireland that was getting it today.

Wednesday is supposed to be awful...then clear skies at the end of the week.

Wouldn't want to be in Iceland. 

Scotland seems to be bearing the brunt at present in Britain. Very windy here in the north Midlands but no rain...yet.

Still bloody wet. This was York on Friday (8/1/16), two weeks after the worst of the flooding:

The last one is entitled "Northern Powerhouse"

Most of the city was back in business; but the area around Clifford's Tower where these were taken showed the effects - a line of small shops and cafes with floors up. skips filled with junk and men in high-vis jackets and hard hats (no, not caring Dave and George posturing!) everywhere.

It's that wet snow - hanging prettily from the trees and on the grass but quickly vanishing on tarmac or concrete. If it gets a bit warmer it will be gone.

Kids are having a great time all over the estate. Teachers will be praying for more tonight (apart from the head teacher who always appears on the news with a snow shovel announcing how he's kept the school open despite the mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers wandering by)!
