We've had very little.

Tuesday and Wednesday were lovely days with clear blue skies, little wind and not a snowflake or patch of ice to be seen.

Today we had a few flakes in the morning and the rest of the day has just been grey and still.

Too bad even for the IAM...

I've just had my Rider Skills Assessment (I'm training to be an IAM Observer) postponed until next weekend.

Mind you, if he hadn't called, I would have called him!

We've had a glorious day here today.

Clear blue skies and no wind. Not particularly warm but a very nice day.

Looks like we're going to have a wicked frost overnight. -7 C on the forecast. Day off tomorrow though.

Just got back to the forum after it ot the computer had a wobbly. Sonw and resultant chaos! seen it on the news but appart from a few houres of clearing snow on the smallest section of road leading from mainroad thru the village, every road I've wanted to use has stayed clear. Mid Wales has gotten away with it weather wise, no floods almost no closed roads.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Yesterday was beautiful with clear blue skies (again), dry roads and around 5C.

I was sat in the car thinking that I should be out on my bike. Very frustrating.  >:(
