[moon man]

Took the folks to Wakefield, nice day, very spring like

 

[Neil79]

Another cold wet day, meh!

 

[UTmaniac]

After being quite mild for the last week, it's a bit chilly out there this afternoon, in the WNW breeze.

 

[Shadowness]

February has been crap so far. One of the worst weather months I guess though.

Came back from Norway where it was cold and snowy. And it was lovely. Straight back into grim wet, wind and cloud.

Nice to see Emley Moor mast in the background. Takes me back to my childhood.

Oh, its raining again

Again? It's not stopped. Seemingly drier and colder from tomorrow, I'll take that.

 

[darael]

Definitely colder today, but maybe that's because we've took the recent milder than normal weather for granted.

Same here, much prefer dry and cold.

Ah Sandal Castle. Many an evening spent there in my youth. BBQ's and rolling down the motte.

A particular memory is you can see Putney's Country Park (the water) in the background and there were midges everywhere. Cue to me with a disposal BBQ on my workcoat in the passenger seat of a Citreon Saxo to move the BBQ up to the castle, smoke billowing out of the windows. Silly little sausages we were.

My first memory there was going with school. Teacher was knocked out by a windsurf. Had about 3 month of work.

I ended up working at the Swan and Cygnet on the roundabout on my gap year.

0ºC this morning up in Liverpool, with frost all over the ground and cars. Probably the last throes of proper winter weather before it starts heating up

 

[moon man]

Same here in Mirfield, bin was frozen shut, car heavy frost

 

[Uther]

Froze over night, but the blue sky this morning is very welcome. I don't think I suffer from SAD but the constant rain and grey skies were definitely starting to get me down a bit.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

I hate it too but appreciate spring all the more when it arrives.

 

[Neil79]

It's midday, and it's like 5pm in the evening outside... Horrendous

Lovely and sunny in the NE.

Lovely and sunny in the NE.

Yeh south of the country and the very far north have had it bad for Winter. Looking at the sat images, it's dry and sunny across many areas. But here we've had 76% above average rainfall and it's still raining
