None down here near Peterborough, although it was very cold last night. I saw a magnificent halo around the Moon at about 11:45 last night.

Its been snowing, here in Bradford, for the last 3 hours or so. Starting to get a nice covering. If it keeps it up, I may not be able to get to work in the morning {wishful thinking}

It's snowing in Tamworth but not seriously. Interesting change about from yesterday which was warm and sunny to the extent that I even managed to mow the lawn for the first time in five months.

The Reliant factory is now a housing estate and what remained of the Reliant production moved to Lichfield a few years ago.
