No rain here today and the sun was shining for most of the time, just a few clouds. ;D

We had a few hours of much needed rain overnight and then it has been mild, sunny but windy today.
Nice to be out in but drying for the outdoor pot plants.

Last night's red sky from my front gate. Note the handy post box! I could see the hills, so it rained over night!

My weather has been extremely pleasant thank you. Hardly a drop of rain in Oz and just a brisk shower at home last night, needed, and sunny today. What are you all complaining about?

Atrocious day here, rain from dawn and it is still raining at 20-45hrs. I have been  watching the water rising at the bottom of the garden and slowly making its way toward the back door. Hope it stops soon.

It's the 21st November... it is 16.25hrs and very dark outside... the temperature is dropping rapidly and it is snowing... as it has been, on and off, for at least twelve hours.....I think winter has come to Aberdeen  :'(

Been out in the garden and the greenhouse most of the day today which has had the odd sunny spell and a reasonably pleasant 12C. If the Weather men get it right it looks as though the South West should miss the worst of the cold snap.
