South Derbyshire - It was minus 2C with a flurry of snow yesterday afternoon while I dug... soil is drying out well. But drizzle this morning and the temperature has risen to 4C.
Stockton today? "err" well challenging. The snow has gone though that ice cold wind direct from Siberia is blasting across the North Sea and up our kilts or trews, depends on your fancy. Gardening is still two weeks away, mine is tidy but planting into rock solid frozen Tundra is not recommended, when we do start it will be all go.
Was damp first thing in NEast Derbyshire this morning, which I was very glad about. It'd snowed a bit yesterday late afternoon & the gritters were out late on.
I wasnt looking forward to the drive back over the tops to Manchester. Neednt have worried, just dull & damp, with some lying snow on the fells. Manchester was a wee bit brighter, slight breeeze. Have risked some washing out to blow a bit. About 5-6C at the mo. J.
Gloomy and misty day in the Chilterns,but the garden is cheering me up - primroses,snowdrops and crocuses all over the place, and the narcissi and daffodils are in varying stages of bloom - a colourful outlook set against a dishwater-coloured sky - reminds me why we all spend so much time tending our gardens!

A degree or two warmer than yesterday,but grey!!! It gets you down when there's no sun, roll on spring
. Let's hope March turns out to be brighter.

Well just been for a walk to the shops and although cold it is warmer than it has been. Not that dry cold we have been getting.
It is damp and the hills are beginning to mist over. OH said when he walked dog first thing there was a short sleet shower.
Minus several again last night & blue blue skies, so fairly cold but lovely in the sun.
