Weather warnings for 26-28th December....

[winterpetunia]

The metoffice are a bit worried about this weather front that's coming in from the west. Looking at the TV forecasts yesterday, the impression I got was that either the band of rain they're forecasting will start off as heavy snow followed by rain or that it will be rain straight away, which will fall on to frozen ground with the result being icy roads.

Fingers x we won't, for once I don't want snow!

We have DFIL 70th tomorrow, his dd is travelling from wales to attend!

Temp still 2 degrees, so mild....hopefully it will be rain and the roads wont be too bad, they won't leave til lunch time.

Bum. Looks like rain here

pretty much laughalot.

think im in the firing line east midlands just been on news

I'll be very interested to hear how it pans out.

it's absolutely pee-ing it down with rain here now (Northants).

uum it dident lol it was rain !!!!!!!!!!

lol - news were probably working from an old forecast.

rain here last night, amazing how quickly the snow has gone - just scraps left now.

Any reports from the NE?

updated warnings take care up in NE and some of Yorks, looks like theres been some freezing rain.

Snow's almost all gone here now as well It'll be nice though if it's a bit warmer on New Years Eve ~ I don't fancy standing outside to watch some fireworks at midnight, while freezing my bits off at the same time!

Looks like instead of snow we are going to continue with very cold rain, not quite sleet but freezing anyway!

Yeah :) We got here just 5 minutes delayed and we are now enjoying the warm sun of Malta in December. Just having a sneaky internet time whilst the lads have gone out to grab take out for tonight's meal.

Was somewhat concerned on waking yesterday to see the old white stuff coming from the sky again. Snow was not the desired weather and was very releived when our friend told us that it was rain in Manchester and no sign of snow. So got to the airport fine, no real delays and here we are :)

Enjoy your break Hulababy!

I am pleased to report DSIL arrived safe and well in Manchester, so it was nice to see them.
