Away for a day

14th & 15th February

I'm typing this post on Sunday, and scheduling it to appear on Monday, as family affairs mean that I'm off the boat today. On Sunday, we had a quiet day on board, pottering about on a beautifully sunny and frosty morning. There was a bit of ice across the cut when we woke, but it gradually melted away as the day went on.

These days, I use two weather sites to kep an eye on what's likely to happen. One is the MetOffice site, and the other Accuweather, which gives more detail for later periods, though it's necessary to allow for rapidly decreasing confidence beyond five days.

At present, there's a bit of a discrepancy between the two forecasts, with the Met Office being a touch more pessimistic about things. It will be interesting to see which proves the more accurate, especially as the Accuweather one suggests a return to milder weather within the week.

I'll get back to normal posting routine on Wednesday.
