Becoming slightly picturesque

UK weather – live: Schools closed as Met Office gives amber warning for heavy snow

The Met Office has issued further weather warnings for Thursday with widespread snow and rain forecast across large parts of the country.

All schools in Flintshire have closed as locals prepare for the blast of cold weather, while commuters have been warned of risky driving conditions as temperatures plummet.


We have a steady fall of climate collapse going on here in our bit of Derbyshire, but nothing to become excited about. It was sleet during the school run earlier and now it looks like wet snow. The garden is gradually becoming slightly picturesque as gardens do in the snow. Not yet worth a photo.

Oh well, we'll be off out to lunch with relatives in a couple of hours so we'll be bunging some more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That should sort it.
