Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Yesterday afternoon was cold and gloomy, no hail in Barlick that I saw but spatters of rain. At 20:00 it was calm, cool and dry. This morning it was the same and it hasn't changed. The glass is down on 1001mb and the forecast is for an overcast day with rain expected from 08:99 to around noon.The ma...

I've been for my walk and done a small shop at the Co-op for one or two bits I missed yesterday. So few customers in there and such big gaps on the shelves it makes me wo...
