What was all the fuss about yesterday with the weather. ??

I flew from Liverpool to Paris at 8.05 with EasyJet, arrived about 15 mins early. Returned in the evening, just a few mins late! Flight was reasonably smooth.
Yet I get home and find theres been allsorts chaos, with both Manchester and Liverpool (and other) airports closed for some of the day.

Today bright sun and hardly a cloud at the moment ! Just a little breeze (Im in Wirral, not Leeds like earlier in the week)

count yourself lucky to have missed it all!

It's really calm here today

We woke up to a power cut this morning, and the phone lines were down too. Luckily I woke up at 6am and realised there were no pretty numbers showing on my clock radio, otherwise I might have overslept.

It was great fun trying to find the camping kettle and gas light in the garage by the beam of a tiny torch. And we didn't seem to have a box of matches anywhere.

There's been a 10-day power outage just down the road at the school I teach in, so they were oblivious to the power cut, having a temporary generator installed. I was relieved to find I was wearing matching shoes, and the clothes I'd put on were what I thought they were.

Cold!!

Windy!

Dark...

It was quite nice today here

ish...

I wish it would snow here!

I was in London today and it was beautiful and sunny!

I'm really mad! Next door's skylight blew off the roof in the gale Thursday morning. Smashed into my car causing dents to the bonnet, roof, front door and back wing. My windscreen and sunroof are scratched. They expect me to clain off my insurence and pay the £100 excess as they don't have cover to do the repairs. It seems that it's not their fault, the fact the tenants reported the winow as leeking doesn't count for anything. The most insulting thing when the Woman phoned me to impart this news she said I'd been phoning (plural) the Office. I might have done if I'd had the number. I only called the landlord once, which is hardly unreasonable and waited for them to come back to me.

Sorry about the rant just glad the weather is improving!

Hope you get this sorted out.

I would be surprised if the landlord did not have buildings inurance of some sort. I think that there may be a way around it. Maybe Citizens Advice would have some ideas.

Its a nice sunny morning here on the Wirral, but colder. Was only 2 deg C at 7.20 when I took the car to the garage for servicing.

Quite a lot of car insurance policies are sold with a legal assistance policy attached. Does your car insurance have one of those? If so, this is exactly the sort of case for which they are intended to be used.

In any event, get your car insurers on the case - they tend to be far more effective at getting money back than individuals do.

It's cold, cold, COLD today. But the clouds are black rather than white so it'll be rain not snow. Thank goodness

We have a little snow this morning...

It is dry and sunny here, but very cold and there is fresh snow on the mountains.

Oooo, snow.......

We have snow too!

Maybe it'll prompt me to take a coat today. I didn't yesterday and was rather cold!

Dull , wet with a bit of sleety stuff, here in Headingley. No snow.

We have snow ! first this winter - looks like about an inch, so well and truly covered. Robins were waiting for their breadcrumbs this morning.

We have snow in Kent too!! I have to go out in it now, so I hope the roads aren't too slippery...

It looked like snow, but when I walked Jennifer to school it was a thin layer of ice. Treacherous
Beverley. It is sunny though.

Snow in Oxford this morning - but melting.

Beautiful day, wisps of cloud under a blue sky, quite warm, no snow at all. Yay Scotland

Did have snow when I woke up this morning, now it's gone, almost completely. It was nice while it lasted!

Cold, but very sunny - a beautiful day

Snow in Brighton!!! But it's melting now!

I wish there was snow here! All I can see is a black dull road

it snowed here today! but its all melted now

it was snowing on Monday here! but it didn't stay on the ground, it just melted...

We've had a very very light dusting of snow in Leeds this evening, but nothing to get excited about ....

All the snow's melted here too.

More snow is forecast here for tomorrow, but for now it's clear and starlit.

There was snow on the ground this morning when I woke up at 6:45, but not much and it had all melted by about 10. But not before I got hit by two snowballs thrown at me by evil small people

According to the BBC, it will be back to double figure temperatures by the beginning of next week...

I hope it doesn't snow much tomorrow, I have a driving lesson

Huh! Maybe near you, but Oban is so cold it's practically freezing over!

We're meant to be frosty tomorrow - around about freezing in terms of temperature. I think the low pressure is moving eastwards - so we should have better weather moving in.

It'll be a cold one for the walk to school - metcheck says it'll feel like -6

I quite like this winter weather - the blue skies, the sun, it makes the surroundings so pretty!

I see Oddball....you're sending it in our direction.

Quite!

It's even moving away from you!

When I walked down the road this morning, a grandad and a little person were busy building a snowman at the first house up from the corner. When I came back just before lunch, Mr Snowman was complete with carrot nose, hat and scarf.

It thawed a bit later and I would imagine it might not be there now - or not much of it. I'm sure it seems a bit milder too tonight. (or are we getting used to it?)

I did lots of driving lessons in the snow so driving in it now doesn't bother me much!

Fed up with global warming though - HATE these mild winters - I WANT SNOW!!!!!
