It's starting to escalate here now. Has been raining since lunchtime and wind is definitely getting up. Supposed to peak around midnight up in mid Scotland I think

Joy just nudged me with her nose, then went to the back door, a sign that she wants to go out. I opened the door, she took one sniff at the wind and rain, then went straight back to lie by the fire. Sensible girl!

Thismorning when I woke up it was strangely quiet. There was no wind, no rain, no snow and no frost. Also no sun. Infact it sort of felt like there was no weather! Not to worry, the rain came back soon enough and now we have Storm Jocelyn with us, so it's wet and windy again, but as Paul The Weatherman said thisevening 'It's Yorkshire and it's winter, what do people expect at this time of year? This is normal!'

According to my almanac, to which I am a recent devotee, today is Candlemas and is described as a "weather divination day". The implications being as follows
If Candlemas be dry and fair,
The half of winter is still to come, and more,
If Candlemas be wet and foul
The half of winter is gone at Yule.
So there we have it
For the Northern Hemisphere anyway.

Sounds like it could be the same Almanac as mine, to which I am also a recent devotee!
Is it this one, by any chance?
Anyway, the weather here is dry, but dull rather than fair, so it's hard to know that means, although being Yorkshire I wouldn't be surprised if half the winter was yet to come!

Oh no, I meant that we had a cloudy grey morning, and the sun has just come out here! No rain or gales or anything.
