TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

[Stanley]

Looking good Cathy! We are doing well actually, while we complain and gloomy wether and wind and rain, It could be a lot worse with ice, frost and snow. As it is we are having a mild winter.

No wind, no rain, not too cold, it won’t last, rain is forecast.

Back home after that short walk to the Co-op. My pork belly now has orange sat with it and I got two packs of sprouts on sell-by which are on the hob and will extend the veggies in the nicest possible way. It's dry and not too cold.. Let it do what it wants now!

It's a bit wild out there this evening. Wind gusting to 50mph which wasn't in the forecast.

Yesterday afternoon got rough, The rain came in as forecast and the wind was stronger than forecast. I was in bed by 06:00 listening to wind roaring in and rain spattering on the north facing bedroom window. That weather eased off during the night and By midnight the wind had moderated and we had a clear sky with a good moon. It's still clear and cold and the glass is on 996mb and rising. The constant SSW wind will be moderate and will gust to almost 35mph at times. We can expect a high of 19C and a low of 8C tonight with a wind chill of -4C for much of the day. Tomorrow is going to be a wet wild day but then the rest of the week is dry, bright and not cold. Things could be much worse at this time of the year.....
