Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

Had a walk along the canal path at Greenberfield early in the afternoon, but it was very damp and drizzely and not good underfoot with all the wet leaves and muddy stretches. A few walkers on the towpath and one or two dog-walkers. Then walked part-way along Greenberfield Lane; a few more walkers pa...

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

Another very warm and sunny day here in Nelson, just a few fair weather clouds floating around by lunchtime, but less of these by mid-afternoon. Gentle breezes, but very refreshing none the less. Very warm by late afternoon with temp of around 25 C 77 F. Clear evening and night, but feeling warm and...

Looking like we're in for bitterly cold weather next week with easterly winds, and maybe some snow too. Temps not getting above freezing according to the people at the met office. :surprised:

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

The Sun Newspaper recently said regarding the weather that we are to have a very cold Winter. There would be spells of snow and ice in December and lasting into January. These cold spells would begin in November. But these newspapers always embellish these stories about the coming bad weather. So, w...

Re: Winter 2016/17

Well we haven't had much in the way of Winter weather, just a few days of cold, but mostly this horrid grey, gloomy stuff over the last several days, and its been very mild for mid January. I think we could all do with some Winter sunshine. Maybe we will get some by this coming weekend - if the weat...

Re: Where Have You Just Been?

Have been to Cowling today on what was a sunny and fine afternoon. There were shower clouds in the distance, but they didn't drop any rain, or very little, on the journey home. Been up Grey Stones looking for ancient rock carvings !! :grin:

Re: Spring 2016

Its been a chilly old day today, not much like Spring. Damp and drizzely from early afternoon onwards, but a few dryer intervals in between. Maybe a bit better tomorrow, and getting a bit warmer Friday onwards. Not looking too good for Bank Holiday Monday, with cooler, breezy conditions and maybe so...

Re: Autumn 2015

Looks like we will be in for chillier days as colder weather over Russia continues to bite, but won't be that bad over here I don't think. However, colder nights with slight frost maybe in the offering next week, especially Tuesday night / Wednesday morning. But we can't complain because we have had...

Aha, yes what a great idea Stanley - once Buckingham Palace has been restored let the members of Parliament move into that, and then the Houses of Parliament could be fully restored, or maybe not. Her majesty can live at Balmoral - I don't think she would mind so much in the long run as she likes be...

Weather forcasters are saying we can expect temperatures rising up to 28-29 Celsius 83f, but with increasing chance of thunderstorms by Wednesday. Myself, I don't like hot weather, but many peop...

This is great reading from Stanley. Keep it coming. Yes, I agree everyone is entitled to an opinion. It's that 'freedom of speech' thingy again rearing its head - and why not for this is indeed a "Community Website" is it not? Well said Stanley :grin:

One or two little voltage reductions around teatime I notice, especially with this very cold weather. The lady in question called Angela lives at a farm near Barlick; sh...
