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.

Rain overnight and grey and murky out there now (west Wales)

We had some real howlers when we were in Cheltenham. There was one couple arrived on a pitch and tried to put their awning up in a storm. It took them ages and they need 2 other people to help them in the end. Tbh they looked as it they didn't have much of a clue until their friends helped. Also they should have waited until it abated as there was no immediate need to do it there and then.

I would have helped but they were tuggers!

Only joking: I was looking after Mrs GMJ who was ill otherwise I would have offered to hold an end, as it were.

No! Some people eh!

Our favourite campsite story is of one camper who arrived and proceeded to unpack a lawnmower and mow the, already short, grass on their pitch. They then unpacked loads of stuff including about six tubs of flowering geraniums which they proceeded to put around their pitch to mark their territory!

Overcast with a cold wind today.

I can describe the weather here lately and today in one word, it begins with S and ends with Hite.

At the moment it looks as if the rain clouds are overhead, not a dot of blue to be seen and for the first time in about a week I needed a jacket this morning when I walked Motley at 8.30, not our usual time, but as it looks as if it would rain I thought we´d beat it and we did and it´s still not.

We have done the same Pat.
Heading to our new holiday home near Bergerac in a large 36ft RV we were carrying a selection of plants for our new garden as well as for friends already living there. Two overnight stops en route my wife asked that the plants be unloaded to air and water. They were duly placed around the fake grass mat we had put outside the door and this attracted quite a few comments and photos from other campers. You can imagine.

We use an artificial grass mat at the entrance to the MH

Roll it up and put in in a bucket to drain if the weather is wet, excellent for trapping dust ect from shoes

Albert wears walking boots and refuses the hassle of taking them on and off each time he enters the van

Today dry but dull

A grey and murky start here in west Wales, with little prospect of improvement today.

It looks a bit undecided just now, too early to tell other than the gray sky with a light wind.

In Kent it is dry and sunny! I heard the national forecast say that cloud will spread but we are hoping to take granddaughter for her first trip to the beach so fingers crossed we are the last to get it.

I largely ignore weather experts, remember Michael Fish in the 80s.

hope it stays nice for the little one Pat.

Oh yes, someone from Holland I think it was told him there was a storm on the way and he said there wasn´t and there was.

Just got back from our walk this morning when fine rain arrived. Even though the thermometer says it´s 14°C out it was buddy cold, had to put my hoody up as it´s a cold wind yet again.

I remember that '87 storm very well. Got up at 2 am and prepared to move out of our old Essex timber cottage. In the light of arcing electric cables, I could see trees bent double in the wind. Very few houses escaped some sort of roof damage and in the morning the roads were littered with branches and broken roof tiles.

I remember it too, we were moving house that day, the removal van nearly blew over twice so we decided to park it up overnight next to a factory, I had a bad night sleeping in the cab, I had rented a 7.5t van for the day, I had to extend the rental and they were not best pleased but could do nothing about it. The next day was fun as loads of debris on the roads some were shut for days.
