For me..a weather fan..yesterday was disappointing. No lightning/thunder..why do we say "thunder and lightning" when, in reality, it's the other way round. It was forecast but didn't materialise. I saw footage of snow (BBC news) on Exmoor. I thought, Mr Nod lucky sod.. A few heavy downpours and that was it. For someone so keen of inclement weather I live in the wrong place. So much either passes south of us or to the west. Storms coming out of North Devon/Somerset cross the Bristol Channel to S.Wales.
Just sunny spells and downpours this morning..so far.
I've not been able to for a few days but I'm sure Chris would want us to carry on. In his words "it makes a change from the doom and gloom,"
So, let's go........................
Today it isn't actually raining, the first day since the weekend. It is to rain later though but lighter than it's been. It's currently quite bright, with some chunky clouds about but nice spells of now warm sunshine in between, it is carrying some warmth now too. Currently 7°.
Our garden is sodden though, there is, or at least was last night, water sitting on the lawn. The grass needs cutting and I have a fence to rebuild.
Maybe next week.
Work harderNot quite T-shirt weather but definately down to just a sweatshirt today.
As predicted, the rain came in about 1am this morning. It was quite cold, the hills had a covering of light snow earlier. We're away from that down in the valley though, it turns to rain by the time it gets to us, usually. It rained all night and still is on and off.
Very meh at the moment, with worse to come. Currently 4°C.
Out for a walk with some friends for lunch. No doubt the overcast will cast down on us!!!
Perhaps checking his approval for his "Darwin Awards" applicationWhat on earth possesed this man to go onto the breakwater ? Beginning of clip.

Very strong winds today. I thought if it's like this here what must it be like in Ireland/NI and western Scotland. Pretty bad according to Dale.
However,the sun came through quite a lot ..no rain..so I was able to sit in the summer house. There was a loud crack as a peg from one of the clothes drying on the whirligig/rotary dryer came off, flew 10m to hit a window pane. It's 10.15pm and the wind is still roaring through the trees opposite. The forecasters say the winds will persist into tomorrow.
