You're not wrong there. I was out washing the car. In the sun it felt lovely, but in the shade/wind it was bloody frigid!

Yes, but did you see the silver Mercedes wrapped around the tree on Chapel Row Green this morning. Someone's managed a major off overnight, took out five wood posts, onto grass...experiencing major 'I'm a passenger moment'...resulting in totalled car.

Beautiful "blue sky and sunshine" spring day down here on the south coast today. Temps around 5 or 6 degrees. Calm before the storm?

As predicted, Met Office have gone Amber for Tuesday for an area on the East Coast (and considerably inland), although further South than I thought. If you are in, or near that area, think twice about setting out.

I'm right in the middle of the amber bit, and I have a 130 mile roundtrip commute around the M25.

Think I'll work from home!!

I'm in the centre right edge of that amber blob. Glad I'm only a mile and a half from work.

Friday could also be interesting!

Thursday and Friday for me, then Tuesday popped up as a possibility then Monday and both dropped back out again.

• If* this comes off, this is a once in a couple of generations storm.

I'm certainly not calling it now, we'll know around Wednesday on the viability.

I'm not being greedy. I don't want this weather.

Puggit has spoken; blizzards for Plymouth!

If we don't get a snow day at school I'm blaming you!
