Bank Edge View

[David Whipp]

Not very dramatic, but the first glimpse of the sun for a few days at sunrise.

[Stanley]

You'll get a good white frosty Xmas pic tomorrow David.....

[David Whipp]

Fingers crossed for that Stanley. Meanwhile, actual sun at sunrise today...

[Stanley]

Not freezing yet, there's still a fair breeze blowing.

[David Whipp]

Maybe frost tomorrow...

Here's sunrise today.



and a detail from when it cleared Kelbrook Moor.

[Stanley]

A snow picture tomorrow?

[Cathy]

Oh yes please...

[David Whipp]

Sorry, no snow (or frost) this morning... a grey day again.

Latest forecast shows we may have some overnight tonight (but predictions of frosty or sunny weather are downgraded daily).

[Stanley]

You might get lucky this morning Cathy.... Here's the back street this morning. Freezing hard and a light fall with more to come....



Recognise that I went out in the cold to get this pic for you! Looks as though a cat has been walking on the bonnet.....

[David Whipp]

First light catching snow iced Weets this morning.

A little later, Barlick with icing sugar.

[Cathy]

Thanks for all the snow pics everyone, much appreciated

[Stanley]

It's a hard frost this morning Cathy.....

[David Whipp]

Jack Frost has been at our windows again...

Looking towards Waddington Fell once the window was open...

[Stanley]

I think some double glazing is indicated..... You could have done the hot penny trick....

[David Whipp]

A grey greeting to 2015, but Happy New Year everyone!

[Stanley]

And what a lousy afternoon.....

[David Whipp]

One positive of yesterday's foul weather was there being no temptation for me to abandon my holiday project.



Repairing this arch and painting the landing is another 15 year old job I can tick off the list...

I've just glossed the window frame. As far as I know, the timber windows are original (over 90 years old) and still in good nick. Probably a big heat loss, but I haven't the heart to rip them out.

[chinatyke]

Don't rip them out, David, they are beautiful and part of the character of your lovely home. Have them secondary glazed if necessary. Love the wall colour.

[Stanley]

China is right. Susan has a similar window and I suggested they put a secondary window on the outside. Complete success and no alteration to the effect inside.

[David Whipp]

There is a single pane of secondary glazing on the outside that mum and dad had installed. (We removed the pane where the opener is when using the window to get RSJ and new joists into the house when we did the structural work). The outside glass does keep the weather off the leaded lights, but doesn't do anything for the insulation value.

[Stanley]

It would if it was double glazed.....

[David Whipp]

More colour this morning...

...and lots of frost on the fields looking west.

[Stanley]

It was a cold day and the frost never lifted. The Met Office consistently underestimates how much cooler Barlick is than the surrounding area. Big change started today, we are in for some wet and stormy weather....

[David Whipp]

Lots of cloud coming over, but patches of brightness in the east gave us a lovely sunrise today.

[David Whipp]

Sunlight on Barlick this morning, as the sun peeped through a gap in the clouds.

The slither of Pendle that we can see from our house is visible beyond Weets.
