Just an idea for a new type of thread, what's the weather like where you are today.

Here in not very sunny at all Keighley, just south of the North Yorkshire border it is snowing hard, (we're at 980 feet) very windy, and quite cold too.

Cloudy start here in west Wales but no overnight frost. It looks as though we may have had a smattering of rain overnight but it should be rain free for the rest of the day according to the forecast.

There was snow on the ground when we got up, it seems to have all gone now, mostly blue sunny sky, but very cold though.

I'm just looking out across the valley, there are three sheep in a field but they look like Galloway cattle markings, they're just out of reach with my binoculars, so might be cows, but look too small.

Rain sopped but its mixed blue and clouds here. We just did a bike ride and the route takes us up on top of a local hill and is very exposed. It was bloody nobbling up there with a very cold wind!

A sprinkling of snow here overnight, but more to the point it was still there at noon, and basically hung around until the sun got on it. Otherwise, as others have said, blue sky, white clouds, sunshine and lots of cold wind.

Blue sky. Tick

Bright sunshine. Tick

Light clouds. Tick

22C. Tick

Lovely weather to be working in the garden (well we cannot go more than 10 km).

You lot are easing off, we are ramping up.... you have 127,000 deaths we have around 100,000 and rising, you have vaccinated 32 million, we have managed around 10 million.... your ICU’s are about 50% full capacity, ours are in excess of 93%.

So, good weather comes with associated drawbacks.....

You have Boris, we have Macron - very many similarities there, Boris knows he knows nothing so blames experts, Macron has done massive research so knows more than the experts, he can therefore ignore them.

Now I can see how you can watch so much Netflix and read so many books Jan. You don't concern yourself with the real world.

I bet my TV is not on for as many hours a day as yours is Raymond :p, and where did you get the idea I read a lot of books, I have a lot on the Kindle that are going to last me for years if I read them all.

Each Land/County in Germany has it´s own rules, very confusing even for the Germans, where I am there are very few rules that we know of :laugh:

I just seem to remember you mentioning authors or books but maybe it was only in passing?
Yes our TV seems to be most of the day when the weather is not good for gardening and there is always something one of us finds interesting.

On the other channel Ray :smile2: I read in fits and starts, the one I am reading now I started over a week ago probably 2 weeks, half way through it I kind of lost the plot and lost interest, I have loads more so should do the same with books as I tell you with Netflix, stop and start a new one.

Back to the weather, it is like mid winter here cold, snow showers and this blessed wind drives me crazy, tonight the sky is just black, no moon and not one star.

Winter is approaching, -1°c, frost on the ground, sun is out, but grey clouds are on their way. No mention of snow, but cloud and what seems our constant companion just lately, the wind.

Morning all

We had a smattering of snow overnight. Not a great deal but a thin dusting. It's a mixed sky out there today here in west Wales, with some blue and also some clouds.

We woke to a beautiful summery sky, still buddy cold though.


No TV here before 4pm unless I'm setting something up to record.

At half 8 it started snowing. It was sleety snow but then thickened to proper snow. At half 9 it stopped and now its raining. It's too warm to settle so what little we have should be gone by lunchtime especially as the sun is battling through as well.

Bike ride looking dodgy this afternoon so we may have to make our own alternative entertainment!

Cold winds here too :(

I try to sit down at 6pm to watch the news but rarely make it once the evenings draw out.

Surely there is a website for each Land/County Jan?

Dave, those figures are sobering aren't they :(

Snow, sleet, rain and wind all day on and off here. Wood burner lit this morning after house cleaning...that's the first time for a number of days its been lit in the morning. Bike ride cancelled and no walk either!

Its snowing as I write but nothing is sticking as its too warm outside.

Fingers crossed for better weather in the days to come.
