Are you sure they forecast minus 3, Monika. I'll keep my fingers crossed you get no less than plus 3 - which we had last night.

Yes, it was minus 3 degrees, Alan, on the metcheck.co website which is usually particularly accurate for our area (I also look at he BBC, MetOffice and netweather). But by this morning this threat had disappeared and it's now plus 2 degrees. As it it still very windy now we shall risk it and not cover everything, because it would be a mammoth task to anchor everything down against the wind.

Last night it also went down to plus 2, not good for French beans etc but it least it's not frost!

Hope it improves for you soon Monika.

Catherine, I think what has happened to the weather (as per your original post) is that it is different every year. It is only the trend that really matters.

You must remember the following event not too far from Pendle:


June 2 1975 - snow stops play in the county cricket match between Derbyshire and Lancashire in Buxton.
