Good evening. Well, most of us haven't seen any of

the white stuff so far this winter so I thought I would remind you of

what it looks like! Across the pond we got too much of that stuff. This

is the scene in New York State right now. Heavy, disruptive snow fall.

Minus nine Celsius. In York, it was a pleasant day and hazy sunshine

after the fog cleared, but it is starting to rain now in York. The

band of wet weather trudging across the country. Some sharp bursts of

rain. Some snow for the north Pennines. Behind that, as skies

clear, we could see a late dip in temperatures so perhaps slippery

surfaces. This morning, it was fog across eastern counties of England.

This maybe the scene that greets you tomorrow morning. Some dampness

around for sure. Some rain to come for a time in the morning. Further

west, some brightness around. A few shallow fog patches, but they will

clear and many of us can look forward to a reasonable day. A few

showers scattered around, but not many for most, but later on in the

day, you will see a band of heavier showers developing across Scotland.

The overnight rain easing off into the Northern Isles, but brightness

in between. And for most of us, through the middle part of the

afternoon, it should be reasonable. There will be a few showers around.

Eastern most counties of England might cling on to the cloud and

dampness later on in the day. In the brighter spells, further west, it

will be mild. Now as we go into the evening, one

little line of showers that zips across the country only to be

followed by a line of heavy showers. Quite a lot of snow over the higher

ground of Northern Britain. Behind that, although we will see sunshine,

it will be a colder day on Thursday and there will be wintry showers

across northern parts of the country. Five or six Celsius will be

typical. It will turn frosty into Friday morning. That spells wet and

windy weather. On the leading edge of that, as it hits the cold air, we

could see a little bit of snow. But for most of us, it looks like rain.

As we look ahead to the weekend, it stays windy at times as well and

there will be rain at times too. The average person moves home

eight times during their life. So that's eight times

we have to move the sofa. Eight times

we have to redecorate. Eight times

we have to locate the stopcock. But there's one thing

that's easy to do when you move -
