Ah, just what I needed to hear when I have a rare weekend off. Still, on the bright side, if the weather is going to be of the not very pleasant variety then I would rather be home doing things than braving the elements outside. A bit of snow would be nice, I still haven't done a walk around of Nuneaton and Riversley Park to get some wintery piccies. Do you think you could arrange for a bit of snow from the weathermaker man?

Make sure you warn the gnomes down there to stop fishing and get the ark out.

Did I hear we've got some serious gales coming tonight as well? Looks like I picked the wrong night to go and watch a comedy night in a pub's basement.

Yes we've issued warnings for Saturday, basically from midnight Fri to midnight Sat. Looks like it could be quite an interesting 24 hours. Expect the flood warnings to increase too
