================================================== ==
Disappointed not to get the snow my son has been telling me about (he's at
Sheffield University). Instead, we are having pretty miserable frozen sleety
rain. Wouldn't be surprised if a few power lines were brought down if this
is widespread, although I suspect it is confined to the coast. I'm reliably
informed that there is snow inland to the west of here and snow falling just
a few miles down the road from Sunderland at Peterlee.
My wind speed/wind direction gear is frozen solid!
Regards... David Allan.

Fingers crossed for you. Freezing rain/sleet isn't pleasant.
