Minus 12 yesterday in the village, even colder higher up.

No idea what the geese are up to today.

Shit loads heading east this morning but really high up suggesting it’s not simply heading to feeding land.

Then another lot flying low southbound which does. 

Too early for the first lot to be fucking off to the lochs yet.

It's a Brexit thing, they're all fucking off home  to E & SE Europe

Saw a large number (150-200) of geese heading westish a few days ago. Plenty of honking.

It’s been snowing.

There was some on my shoes this morning. I quickly got rid of it.

Apparently, the legions of staff down at the airport have a less practical attitude and have shut the runway.

Brexit will be a doddle by comparison to  a bit of snow.

Lad's school shut today.

A single snowflake disrupts schooling in Bolton.

Probably, though it's possible teachers may be struggling to get in.

Kept it open last year, and there were too few teachers so classes were disrupted, and he did nowt much anyway.

hope it's washed away by weekend ffs

Mostly gone now.

Seems we're missing the worst of it tomorrow, and it warms up slowly, particularly early next week.

Seriously struggled to get out of east Manc this morning at 7am via Oldham to M62. Struggled up over Rishworth Moor. Different world on the wrong side of the Pennines. Lovely sunny day spent in Middlesbrough (aye lovely and Middlesbrough in the same sentence). In Newcastle tonight and tomorrow. Fuck me it really does get colder up here
