TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

[Big Kev]

Welcome to Spring, it's the equinox today.

And it sounds like it's going to be a pleasant afternoon for it. I'm hoping to get some sunset pics over the reservoir later on.

[Cathy]

Ooh new pics coming... I look forward to them Nolic.
There, you have to go for that walk now.

[Big Kev]

Nolic?

Weatherman is telling porkies, no sun so far today.

[Cathy]

Sorry Big Kev re Nolic...it was too late at night for me to be posting .

[Stanley]

No need to be sorry Cathy.... I get things wrong far more than you do!
Yesterday was dull but acceptable. At 20:00 it was calm, overcast mild and dry, same this morning. The glass is down a touch on 1026mb. The forecast is for a dry day with bright overcast and the chance of a glimpse of the sun this evening. The wind is a light to moderate westerly that gives a high of 10C and a low of 6C with a -2C wind chill. The outlook is for similar weather but perhaps moving into changeable with showers later in the week.

I wouldn't worry about it, I spent 5 minutes looking for a post from Nolic

[Stanley]

So did I Cathy but I don't hold it against you!

[Gloria]

Mild and overcast.

[Stanley]

That sums it up here as well Gloria.

[Big Kev]

The sun is putting in an appearance

[Marilyn]

Hopefully it improves some folks lockdown grumpiness...

Yesterday was, once more, a very acceptable day but not exciting until the flash of sun later on. At 20:00 it was calm, mild, overcast and dry, same first thing this morning. I have just had a look, it hasn't changed. The glass is down slightly on 1023mb.The forecast is for a similar day to yesterday but the flashes of sun will come earlier. Same wind as yesterday, a light to moderate westerly giving us 9C as a high and 4C for a low with a wind chill of -3C. The outlook is for brighter showery weather to start on Wednesday.

[Gloria]

Much the same here Stanley, nothing to write home about at all.

[Stanley]

But the ground is drying Gloria and it all gets us closer to the beginning of June when we know we have wintered!
Things could be much worse....

[Stanley]

It's a rerun of yesterday Gloria......
Yesterday was not exciting, I found myself in one 20 second burst of sun when I went for my midday walk. That was the peak of the day. At 20:00 it was calm, coll, overcast but dry. Same first thing this morning and it's not changed. The glass is down a touch on 1019mb. The forecast is for an overcast but dry day. The wind is a constant moderate SW giving a high of 9C and a low of 6C with a -4C chill at peak. The outlook is for more changeable weather, with sunshine and showers but no nasty surprises.

[Gloria]

Still overcast but there is a feeling of freshness in the air.

[Wendyf]

Hail and snow in Friday's forecast!

Lovely, new French doors are being fitted on Friday

Ooh new pics coming... I look forward to them Nolic.
There, you have to go for that walk now.

I took these 5 days ago, gives you an idea of what there is to see around Foulridge. If you click on each image it'll show a higher quality.

Lovely quality Kev. Hand held or tripod? I used to have cast iron elbows but those days have gone......
Yesterday I had two midday walks, both of them dry but that was a sneaky cold south wind! At 20:00 it was calm, dry and cool with an overcast sky. First thing this morning we had a light shower but it seems to be dry now. The glass is down a touch again on 1014mb and falling. The forecast is for the cloud to clear and we will have a sunny day. The constant WSW wind is brisk and gusts to 30mph at times. It gives us a high of 9C and a low of 6C with a -3C wind chill all day. The outlook is similar weather but there may be a wintry shower late Friday night.

Hand held, it's currently a breach of Covid-19 restrictions to be out as an amateur solely for the purpose of taking pictures (the loophole is to take the pictures as part of exercise). Using a tripod would be 'going equipped', a bit of a grey area but if anyone was going to be fined for breaching the regs it would be me

[Stanley]

In that case you have cast iron elbows!

[Gloria]

Beautiful, bright, dry and very sunny morning with more than a hint of spring, there’s a bird in nearly every tree singing it’s head off.

[Big Kev]

In that case you have cast iron elbows!

I can usually find something to lean on as well, that helps
