    The weather geek within me has surfaced again.

    It's not often you see red on a Met Office weather warning:

    It's all about snow - stay safe out there people

    Rach - looks like your plans for tomorrow may be disrupted somewhat if the forecast is right..

    That's excellent Mudders - you must be one proud Mum! Maybe you've learnt something there - perhaps your daughter works best under pressure....Bear it in mind for the future

    I like to think that she's learnt not to leave stuff till the last minute but I fear you might be right! I'm going to be nervous breakdown material of the future! :rotfl:
