Your guess is a good as mine Stanley. It kind of by-passes something ?!

Ummm, not sure what's going on. I'm using my Ethernet cable otherwise wouldn't be commenting - even this went off just after midnight.

BT Internet has gone down in Pendle tonight but not sure why. Many people reporting no internet. Is it the same over in Barlick?

Glass is 30.6.9 tonight Stanley over in Nelson. Not as high up as you though - maybe 200 feet or so ?

Just checked with Higham Weather Station below Pendle Hill. They give a berometer reading of 1036.5. So pretty near I would say. Yes all to do with altitude I think.

Ummm, my berometer (glass) is currently reading 30.5. Is that too high or about right ?

Derek Batey the former host of tv's Mr & Mrs has died at the age of 84.

Well there could be a dusting of snow by tomorrow morning but nothing significant. Very cold breeze from the east will continue over the weekend. Slightly milder early next week.

What plumbers get plumbago - in other words plumber's backache !!

Thank you Stanley. I think Mr Stephenson only looks at what he has to look at. Anything a bit worrying he just ignores. He's too busy stuffing his face at local resturants and posh do's, much like his boss dodgy Dave of Downing Street.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STANLEY I see he has a letter in Nelson Leader Colne Times today. Wonder if our Mp for Pendle will take notice of it.

Thank you Sue that is a well researched piece of work and very moving - a great tribute to your father.

Snow, sleet, hail and freezing rain during the afternoon in Nelson. Its raining this evening together with a gusting wind. But getting a bit milder. Should be a better day tomorrow with some sunshine and milder temperatures.

Looks like more snowy weather for Sunday and into Monday. Winter's not gone just yet.

A spell of sleet and snow during the afternoon here in Nelson. Turned to rain by early evening and snow got washed away. Still very cold though. Better tomorrow with some sunshine although staying very cold and windy.

Its a lovely film 'Whistle Down The Wind', Stanley. Yes it was filmed in Downham, Rimington and at Towneley Hall and a few other local places. The farm used was Worsaw Hill farm, I believe. Probably still there, just up the lane from Downham. They used the school and community centre in the village,...

Lovely day today with plenty of Winter sunshine but cold. Next week (Tueday) Winter will return with some snow showers moving down from the north. So, enjoy the milder weather this Sunday.

Would be 'cow-heel' I think Stanley !!

Slaters in Nelson was a milk bar, cafe and ice cream parlour. It still sells ices and milk shakes today but the cafe has gone. There used to be, in the 60s-70s, UCP cafes in Nelson - there were two or three I think. They sold anything associated with local farms. The name was 'United Cattle Products...

A very wet day today with some heavy rain adding to the saturated ground. Much the same tomorrow but very windy. Looks set to turn colder over this coming weekend, possibly some snow to follow !

Thunder, lightning and hailstones in Nelson early evening. Dryer now but still on the blustery side. Milder day tomorrow.

Snowing in Nelson this evening and tonight. Very fine stuff but still covering the roads and paths. Better day tomorrow with sunshine and becoming milder on Sunday. Its still only January though so we might not be finished with winter yet !!

I'll bet it was "fun". Though myself I've never needed to use the double back seats. Oh well never mind.

Some snow on Friday, but signs of a change to milder westerly gales with rain during the coming weekend. That could change between now and then though.

I understand mucky little boys with fleas sat in the front seats and sometimes piddled on the seat because they didn't want to miss the film. That's where the name 'flea pit' comes from and that's what I have been told by my parents. But that could be wrong.

Continuous light snow over here in Nelson this evening and its blowing about now. Very cold, raw in that wind too.
