It's really cold this morning!


In the end, not a huge amount of snow since yesterday as it moved around and delivered in curious places these last few days. Some forecasts are being made to look a bit silly.


Just cloudy at the moment along with that cold that I mentioned. It's quite bright too with the sun trying to break through in places.
