jemck at 10:29am on 03/02/2009Quite curious, really.
It snowed on and off yesterday, sometimes heavily till the early afternoon here but the snow just didn't get appreciably deeper. Because it was also warming up just enough for a bit of melting - as was apparent from the parked cars I can see from the study window.
The BBC weather continued to promise all sorts of mayhem when the second wave of snow arrived hereabouts - well up to the point when I was looking at the weather radar, seeing huge white blanket over us at the very time in question - and looking out of the window at a clearing sky. Hmmm. Then at around 5 pm, the BBC decided that m'actually, all that mayhem was going to take a sharp right turn up the M1 and hit the Pennines instead.
Fine by me. Fine by husband who has work/meetings in and around Warwick/Coventry today and tomorrow. Sort of fine by junior son since that meant the scout cross-country hike yesterday evening wasn't cancelled - we kitted him out properly to stay warm and dry and they had a grand time. Senior son is probably the most unimpressed. He definitely fancied a snow day off school.
I shall now return to writing a short story where the oppressive stickiness of a hot August night is integral to the atmosphere.
