3 days of solid rain here, looks like Tuesday 'might' be OK for the commute, although the canal will be a bog.

How much does it cost to Oldham?
Was gonna come over for some Saddleworth today- until I looked at the forecast. Same as here but two hours later. Perhaps a tad less windy.

Can be nice but there is the saying “ never cast a cloot till May be oot”. Some may argue that this refers to the bush rather than the month but don’t bank on it.I've just been planning my Audax trip up your way. It's in May - should be nice by then
I well remember in June thinning turnips wearing an ex army greatcoat and gloves. It was so cold the usual casuals we normally got would not work out in the field.
I also went hosteling in June and had buy a newspaper to stuff inside the front of my jacket as it was so cold.

Inch of snow on the car earlier, near Penrith. Foul weather this weekend, proper brass monkeys.

went for a winter ride last weekend. used my studded mountain bike on a paved trail due to the conditions. it was 25F degrees & windy so felt colder; like the teens. water bottle didn't freeze tho; like it does, when it is actually in the teensF
made a bad video. it is long & guaranteed to put me to sleep, 3 times, minimum

this shorter edit is probably just as boring. next summer it might be fun to watch ...

Wind and rain AGAIN today 
... and set to get worse, much worse, during the week ahead.
This must be the 4th weekend running with horrible weather. No chance of finding me on a bike in this. Scunnered, fed up, peed off, and hope it's going to improve soon. That's never guaranteed in these parts though (clyde coast area).

We don't get much frost here either, since we are at sea level. That, and the constant wind and rain keeps it away!

It's always windy here but I would say it only rains every few hoursWe don't get much frost here either, since we are at sea level. That, and the constant wind and rain keeps it away!

Despite not cycling in the snow and ice I love winter bike rides and thanks to advice shared to me on this forum I now wear a pair of decent boots that keep my feet warm and dry.

Sunny yesterday (Friday), and Daffodils were in bright yellow full flower in North Cheshire, on the 11th Feb 2022.
