Hello, welcome. Tonight, hundreds of workers from a | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
doomed aluminium plant begin their search for a fresh start. | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
We are winding-down, we need to start concentrating on the future. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
Floundering fish get a helping hand in a drought-stricken river. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Balmy temperatures give way to bitter conditions in the north as | :00:30. | :00:34. | |

Prince Charles. We are assessing the fortunes of | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
speedway teams. And, the weather has got worse | :00:47. | :00:57. | |

because the new cricket season is The hunt for new jobs has begun in | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
earnest for workers laid off at Alcan in Northumberland. The | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
closure means 500 people will lose their jobs. Most of them will leave | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
by the end of May, but today a recruitment fair at the Plant gave | :01:15. | :01:25. | |

new hope that at least some of them Like hundreds more, Allen had a | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
weight is about to be out of a job, with mouths to feed. On Thursday, | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
he cast the last rate of aluminium. The day when it finally came, we | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
switched off the power, it hit home. The power is off, we are winding | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
down. We need to start concentrating on the future. We | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
have got a jobs for today, and hopefully, I will meet some | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
recruiters and some big companies. I will give my CV out. What are the | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
chances of being made permanent? is looking to one company for | :02:04. | :02:10. | |

sort of culture. Between 50 and 80 have put in for Nissan. There is | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
also the chemicals company from Teesside. And, representatives from | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
the oil and gas industry. The big question workers like Alan Hadaway | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
is asking it, or are they handing out jobs or just information packs? | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
This is a genuine event with genuine opportunities, we are | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
delighted with the response from some of the best employers to talk | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
to our employees about their vacancies. Hopefully, we will get a | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
lot out of today. It will be nice to see people being positive. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |

find a job as good as the one he has got now, it is unlikely to be | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
around here. I have got eight weeks left, it will be a big impact, once | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
the site rolled up. People moving away for jobs. The north-east as a | :03:15. | :03:20. | |

The Labour leader Ed Miliband has launched his party's campaign for | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
the local elections in the region. He met party members in Carlisle, a | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
crucial target. He admitted Labour had lost trust with the voters in | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
the past but said the party can now make the most of frustrations with | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
the government. He is the leader of the opposition, | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
and opposition is where his party has been in Carlisle for 13 years. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
He launched his campaign for the local elections with a speech to | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
party members, but why did so many other voters in the City for out of | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
love with the Labour Party? We know we lost trust and we lost touch | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
with people. After two years, people are starting to think, you | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
promised change, things are getting worse, living standards are getting | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
worse, and we have got to show that we have got on alternative. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Labour Party have been out of power since 1999 here, they have not had | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
an MP here since the last general election, so how does he think they | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
all come to win back the lost support? We are campaigning on how | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Labour councils can make a difference, even when there is less | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
money, one living standards, jobs, crime. If you do not take control, | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
that is a disaster for the Labour Party. The media loves having this | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
commentary. Let's think about the people of Carlisle. They make the | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
decision as to who they want. We should talk about the issues, | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
bothered and anticipating the result. Nearly two years into the | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
government... Pointed towards will be contested next month. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
-- 22 wards. We will bring you the other party | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
launches throughout the campaign. The past master found guilty of | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
murdering his wife at the shop Dave Ryan in North Yorkshire will have | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
an appeal against his conviction heard in May. Robin Garbutt was | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
found guilty of killing Diana Garbutt last year. He was sentenced | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
to life. He had always denied murdering her, claiming she had | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
been attacked by armed robbers. For several years, we have reported | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
on floods, but now drought is affecting some rivers in parts of | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
North Yorkshire. Today, the Environment Agency moved to save | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
the wild fish population are stranded by falling river levels. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
It is the earliest time of year they have had to direct. | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
It is only just a prop, but the Environment Agency is carrying out | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
the fish rescue because of drought. Part of the River Rye have cried | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
out. Fish that can normally go where they will are now trapped in | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
the port that remain. They will run out of oxygen and die, so they have | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
to be moved. An electric current stuns them, they rise to the | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
surface, and they all put into buckets. They are none the worse | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
for their epic ordeal. It is not that unusual in high summer. In the | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
first week of April, it is unheard. This is how bad things have already | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
got. This is where they are fishing, and here, the river has run dry. In | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
parts of Yorkshire, the Environment Agency has already declared a | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
drought. There is plenty to drink, but obviously, not enough for | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
wildlife. It is not just fish. Dozens of species of insects will | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
suffer, and so will the birds that eat them. And it is nesting time. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
After months of dry weather, what is needed is heavy, prolonged | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
rainfall. Otherwise, the outlook could be bleak. It could be | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
terrible if it does not rain and if we have a very hot summer. We are | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
not talking about a water supply track, but in terms of ecology, it | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
could have a long-term impact. was the same stretch in June 2005. | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
Devastating floods swept through Helmsley. Another extreme of our | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
changing climate. Somehow, the river and its wildlife seemed to | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
recover, but the benefit -- but they benefit from help. They have a | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
new home, where the river flows clear and high. But with problems | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
like this in April, there is genuine concern about what the | :07:53. | :08:03. | |

In 2008, Beverley Brown had an award-winning stirred and stables | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
in County Durham. Today, her business is in ruins and her dreams | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
shattered. She claims her problems were caused by Northumbrian Water | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
carrying out flood alleviation work on her land. | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
Four days ago, Beverley Brown's business was on the rise, she was | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
breeding our award-winning courses and planned to build a venue for a | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
question events. But then, Northumbrian Water installed flood | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
prevention works. The peace and shattered. You need tranquillity to | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
be able to get them settled, and you have a couple of trucks driving | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
:08:54. | :08:59. | ||
past, it is not feasible, because these pipes disrupted the business. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
The work went on for eight months, picking up five acres of land. The | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
impact is still being felt. Vital grazing land has never recovered, | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
and a year on, the fields were flooded, but this image. We had | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
little grazing in the field they have taken, and we have 10 acres of | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
other field that we could have put them on, but it was full of water, | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
sewage. She says her business was effectively ruined. She had to lay | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
off seven staff and shelve plans to create another 20 jobs. The | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
European Grand had to be handed back because she could not find the | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
money to match it. If everything had gone according to plan, I would | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
be standing next to an indoor arena capable of international standard | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
events. Because of the problems, or what is there, the foundations. We | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
can -- Northumbrian Water says it has offered adequate compensation, | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
but Beverley Brown says it is nowhere near enough to claw back | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
losses of �750,000. She is campaigning for a change in the | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
door so that the compensation is agreed before the work begins, | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
avoiding the legal battle she is now locked into. This could go one | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
for 20 years, and I will not be here. They will not be any | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
compensation to pay. We have put blood, sweat and tears into this. | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
In the last four years, there have been more tears than we can cope | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
with. It has been really hard. change in the law will not affect | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
her case, but she hopes it might prevent others having their dreams | :10:33. | :10:43. | |
:10:43. | :10:45. | ||
Plenty more to come. We have the sport. Paul Collingwood | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
talks about his pride at being asked to carry the Olympic torch. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
We meet a flower girl fit for the Queen. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
And, more snow fall to come for part of the region tonight. I am | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
back with the weather forecast later. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
Despite bitterly cold weather, the crowds have turned out to greet the | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Prince of Wales on a day-long tour of Cumbria. He started in the south | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
of the counter this morning, before moving north to help Wigton | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
celebrate the 700 and 50th anniversary of it Mark -- its | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
market town status. There may have been a belated icy | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
blast of winter in Cumbria today, but it did nothing to dampen the | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
enthusiasm for a royal visit. The cheers cut through the driving seat | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
-- driving sleet and arctic wind. It is great he was, in, we have had | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
the day off work. We were looking forward to read. It is a shame | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
about the weather, but it is really nice to see him. For such a small | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
town, it is great, to get everybody together. 750 years ago, it was | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
given its market town status. Times have been tough of late, as one of | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
the famous sons acknowledged. hard for small towns like this, but | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
the people in the town are really fighting back. Prince Charles, when | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
he came, he gave it a boost, people were glad that he came. Many hope | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
the heir to the throne could help bring another era of prosperity. | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
believe it is a beautiful place, it has had a great history, but if we | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
can really focus on improving the High Street, getting jobs and | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
getting the right kind of attractions, we can get it taking | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
off again. They say that the visit will give a huge boost to the | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
regeneration hopes, but the MP has also told me that he is hoping to | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
persuade Prince Charles to provide architects and designers from his | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
foundation to give their time free of charge to help redesign streets | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
like this one. We will have to wait and see if he agrees to the request, | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
but as his visit showed, he seems to have a special relationship with | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
Cumbria. The periphery of a young girl from | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
your car has been recognised this week -- bravery. She was born with | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
a hole in her heart and underwent surgery when she was three years | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
old. She has been chosen to give the Queen a Posy when she arrives | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
:13:35. | :13:38. | ||
on Thursday. It is an honour she is My face will be shocked. I think it | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
will. A boom would not be overwhelmed if they were invited to | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :13:56. | ||
meet the Queen? Just two years ago, Margot was in intensive care | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
recovering from surgery. The doctor find doubt that she had come armour | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
in her heart. Then be found out that she had a hole in her heart so | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
she had to be monitored for the first two years of her life. Then | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
be found out when she was three that she would have to have open- | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
heart surgery. Margot is now a happy and healthy young girl. After | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
winning an award for her bravery, she has been chosen as one of four | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
children who will present the Queen with flowers on Thursday. I am | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
going to curtsy and give her some flowers. She will remember meeting | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
the Queen or her life have. It will put the trauma at the start of her | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
life in a positive light. She said it was good to have open-heart | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
surgery because she is getting to do unusual things. Me T the Queen | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
is an honour, but 1 Margot is prepared for. I will be very | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
excited. I am wearing a grey dress with pink flowers. That is her out | :15:15. | :15:24. | |
that sorted. I wonder what colour her Majesty will be wearing. | :15:24. | :15:33. | |
She is a treasure. What a day to remember that will be. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
So what on earth happened? Well, perhaps we shouldn't be too | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
surprised, but what a difference a week makes. Just a few days ago, we | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
were basking in temperatures more typical of June or July. Today, it | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
seems that we've been plunged back into normality. Our reporters Gerry | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
Jackson and Olivia Richwald are out in the elements tonight. First to | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
Gerry in County Durham. Cold enough for you? | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
Thanks, Carol. It feels like we've time travelled back about 15 months. | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
Welcome to Tow Law. Temperature about 4 degrees but, with the | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
windchill, well below that. Let's compare and contrast with | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
what was going on last week. This was Roker seafront at Sunderland on | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
Tuesday last week. 20 or 21 Celsius that day. Compare that with the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
same scene today. 5 or 6 degrees - pretty miserable. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
This time last week, it was a good day to be alive. Today is probably | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
a good day to hibernate. Now, the average temperature for | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
our region, at this time of year, is about 10 degrees so you can see | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
how spoiled we were last week. Basically, the winds were from the | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
South, and the weather more like the Mediterranean. | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
But all day, this weather has been moving down the region from the | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
North. It has been worst on the high ground, of course, and it is | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
being driven by strong, northeasterly winds. There were 70- | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
mile-an-hour gusts at Holy Island this morning, for instance. | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
Lindisfarne Castle was closed, as was Howick Hall not far away. Of | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
course it's made getting around difficult but I think it's the | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
shock of suddenly having to cope with these conditions just when we | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
thought spring had properly arrived that has made the biggest impact on | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
people. Last week, it's a lot different, and I did not think it | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
would be as bad. I have been waiting all afternoon to go to the | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
shop, I thought it was going to stop. But I have had to come out. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
It is just crazy. But you are used to it up here, hard winters? Not | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
really, I've only been up here for a year. This is the first one I've | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
seen. So all the balmy weather seems a distant memory. Why? Well, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
the land has been warming up, but the sea air is still very cold and | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
that's where this has come from. More on the why's and wherefores | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
from Hannah in the weather forecast shortly. | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
Thanks, Gerry. And Olivia Richwald in North Yorkshire. What are | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
conditions like where you are this evening? | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
It is lovely inside. We will go outside in a minute and you will | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
see this snow coming down. This time last week, it was 23 degrees | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
here are the customers were outside sunbathing. How unexpected is the | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
weather? We hoped the sun would keep shining over Easter. But | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
perhaps it is just for one day. Fingers crossed, the sum that will | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
be back tomorrow. In December 2010, we had all that snow. Seven people | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
were stranded here because the pub was cut off. It started off fun, | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
but then it got a bit boring. As you can see, the snow is coming | :19:06. | :19:15. | |
down. We have just heard that two cars have just slipped off the road | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
here. More snow is on the way. Olivia Richwald in North Yorkshire | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
and Gerry Jackson in County Durham, thank you. And as Gerry said, | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
Hannah will be here with the full forecast near the end of the | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
programme. So the weather has gone to pot. | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
That can only mean one thing - the cricket season is almost here. Who | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
can forget the day, a few years ago, when Durham's first match was | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
stopped by snow! Well, today was the county's annual photo-call. But | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
plans to hold it on the pitch were - you've guessed it - scuppered by | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
the weather. Keith Akehurst reports. A wintry scene at Chester-le-Street. | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Typical for the launch of England's summer sport. Team photos had to be | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
taken inside. It's 20 years since Durham became a first class county. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Back then wicket keeper Andy Fothergill made the step up from | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
minor counties. Now still connected with Durham, he works with one of | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
the sponsors and admires a side that has tasted success and expects | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
:20:17. | :20:18. | ||
it again. Fantastic. You could not have dreamt of this up. Favourites | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
again this year. Probably favourites for the next at three | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
years. Ben Stokes was a baby when Andy played for Durham. Last year, | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
the 20-year-old Cumbrian was a sensation until injury shortened | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
:20:38. | :20:41. | ||
his season after an England call-up. As long as we can come of way with | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
some type of silverware, it will be great for the club. Durham have | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
signed Australian seamer Mitchell Johnson for the T20 series. The ICC | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
Cricketer of 2009 joins Herschelle Gibbs for the shorter format. | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
have signed some big players were. We are looking to raise the bar and | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
go and try and win the 2020. With the talent we have got here, the | :21:06. | :21:15. | |
experience and youth, on paper, we have got a fantastic cricket side. | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
But cricket is not played on paper, it is what happens out there. | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
There's a long, hard six months ahead. | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
You might have spotted the former England all-rounder, Paul | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
Collingwood, in the Durham line-up there. As well as helping his | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
county, this summer, he'll be doing his bit for the Olympics - as he | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
told Dawn Thewlis. Paul Collingwood is more used to | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
carrying his bat. An Olympic torch is something else. But he will be | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
the proud bearer on a stretch of the route through Durham after | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
being nominated by the county council. He cannot quite believe it. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
You have to pinch yourself at times. I am from the north-east through | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
and through, very proud to come from here and for the county | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
council to ask me to do it, and to carry the torch on a small part of | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
its journey around England, I think it is very humbling. As a child | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
growing up, you like to watch the Olympics and to be part of that in | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
some small we is very exciting. will join at the long list of great | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
names to have carried the torch. Cricket has just featured ones in | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
Olympic history, but in the build up to vet London games, it is all | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
refitting that someone should represent it. I am so proud to come | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
from here. I don't know where I will be carrying the torch, but if | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
it is anywhere near here, it will be a very proud day. Something I | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
can look back on in years to come and remember for the rest of my | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
life. Court flick, my children will be able to look back and remember | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
it as well. On to speedway now, and Redcar | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
Bears' revealed today their captain, Gary Havelock, could be out of | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
action for a year following this crash at the South Tees Motor Sport | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
Park last month. The former world champion is recovering in hospital | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
in Leeds, with a broken shoulder. Meanwhile, two of the region's | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
other teams met up on Tyneside this week, which gave us the the chance | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
to check out the form of Newcastle Diamonds and Workington Comets. | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
With an away win at Sheffield already under their belts, the | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
Comets have started the season with a bang. They just don't want too | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
many more crashes like this which put Kenny Ingalls out for the rest | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
of the match. With former Newcastle star Rene Batch now on the books, | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
Workington have been tipped for the top. We have got the last few years, | :24:00. | :24:10. | |
:24:10. | :24:11. | ||
but I think this your's team have the potential to improve. | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Diamonds also have great hopes. George English is now in his 16th | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
year as co-promoter and team manager. So does he still look | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
forward to the season with as much enthusiasm as ever? You do. You are | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
also very worried because you do not know what is going to happen | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
until you get out on track, until the next race starts. It is always | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
a bit of a lottery. But yes, we are excited. For the record, a last | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
heat 5-1 gave the Diamonds a narrow derby victory in this League Cup by | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
46 points to 44. It could be an interesting season. It was quite | :24:51. | :25:01. | |

sunny Wembley did those interviews, This southerly wind last week gave | :25:03. | :25:12. | |
us high temperatures breaking records at some weather stations. | :25:12. | :25:22. | |
:25:22. | :25:33. | ||
this week, northerly breezes giving Sold for the her northern hills | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
continues. A mix of snow and sleet for lower levels. But we could | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
still get snow at lower levels as well. It should start to clear | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
tomorrow. Temperature is down to freezing, or just above for most | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
places. Very strong north-easterly winds as well. The snow will clear | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
away first thing tomorrow morning. Most parts becoming dry and bright | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
but a very chilly. Temperature is not much higher than they were this | :26:11. | :26:17. | |

:26:28. | :26:31. | ||
much colder. It will feel just above freezing for most places. A | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
little bit less breezy in the West, but even here, a cold field despite | :26:35. | :26:45. | |

the bright skies. The cold us not just last a few days -- the cold | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
snap just last a few days. The temperatures at start to return to | :26:50. | :27:00. | |
average for the time of year. Good Friday, more traditional bank | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
holiday weather. Things get considerably milder but wet. From | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
the West, a spell of drizzly rain arrives in time for the bank | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
holiday weekend. The cold snap will not last, but Moore has slowed to | :27:12. | :27:17. |
