It's a checklist Tuesday as we move into the colder months and work through our list of things to do before Jack Frost visits for the first time!
Have you got heating sorted? Will you be using wood gas or electricity to heat your house?
How are you going for warm clothes? Have you got hats scarf and gloves? You will need them!
How will you keep the heat inside your house? Draft stoppers and thick curtains go a long way to keeping your heating bills down!
It's 13° at Purling Brook at the moment and 11° at Canyon. The rain can't make up its mind if it's coming or going but it did leave 8mm in the gauge at Purling Brook overnight. It's going to keep raining like this all week and then get worse in the weekend... Currently there's 10 and 20mm predicted for Saturday and Sunday...
Remember to add to your checklist to allow extra time on the roads with the roadworks kicking off for another six months on the 11th!!
Get out your checklist and get organised this Tuesday. Winter is just around the corner!
