Thats ok, my folks live at the edge of West Moors down the end of a long
bumpy lane and they hardly ever see the recycling van!
Popped over there about 1600 and it was pretty disgusting.. cold rain and
everything underfoot turning to slush. Hate it when that happens!! Think if
it had all been snow we probably would have had some 6-8 inches.
Max of 4.4c here in Bournemouth and most of the snow has gone.
