Title: Severe Weather Warning?
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 12 February 2009, 14:06:43
Just seen on the lunchtime news of a severere weather warning.  5 cm expected in low lying area's, more on higher ground.  Expected later this afternoon.

We had heavy flakes fall in Rotherham arround 1pm but it soon stopped.

Just keep an eye on the weather and drive carefully if you get snow.

Thick and heavy since late morning, work in Stockton so thought I had better come home a little early :y My reasoning was that if it was that bad in the town then it will be worse at home.  ::)

Daughter early from the childminders, out playing in the snow :y :y

Turning to rain now though..... :( :(
