It looks like neither Bradford or Calderfail council bothered with any pre-emptive gritting even on the main roads, despite heavy snow being forecast since last Thursday. ::)

Shocking flooding in Leicestershire today. Fortunately my own home is built on high ground but some of my usual cycling routes are impassable. Hoping to get out on a bike tomorrow, but may have to improvise somewhat.

From what I can make out, the village of East Leake over the border in Nottinghamshire, which I cycled through on Saturday, is mostly underwater.

Just a lot of the usual flooding round here. It means most of my cycle routes are going to be a struggle tomorrow. If it's at all icy then I'll just forget it as water run off on the least used roads will turn them all into skid traps :(

String of nice weather coming up. In the forecast, anyway.

Don't forget, it's a forecast, not a will be

Appropriately named!

Absolutely pristine weather today; cloudless sky, zero wind, wonderfully crisp, a really satisfying crunch as my hiking shoes cut through the compacted snow.

It was the first time this year I've had the energy or inclination to spend more than five minutes outside, which was going okay for a while until I started feeling a bit ropey again - I might have overdone it, but I was soon home and some paracetamol and rest did the trick. :)

Things needing done outside today and it's just started snowing.😡🤬

Lovely over here. Cold this morning, just below zero but clear skies and sunshine.

Snow is just starting to melt - seems like it's been here for ages.
