Good evening. Tonight: Pensioners are asked to dig deep. Many elderly | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
people in Yorkshire face massively increased bills for day and social | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
care. Also on Look North: Her life's work | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
in tatters. A nursery owner says her business is in ruins after | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
staff were arrested at two of her centres. It was dreadful. I have | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
never experienced anything like that in my life. And you're in for | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
a treat this winter if you're a fan of snowdrops. We visit an estate | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
famous for its display. There is another such -- shop faster come | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :00:57. | ||
tonight. -- sharp frost. investigation has found that almost | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
all Yorkshire councils are making elderly people pay substantially | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
more for their care because of cutbacks. They have put up fees for | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
:01:15. | :01:17. | ||
services such as home help or meals. Yorkshire's councils are being | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
forced to save money. Care for the elderly is one of the areas they | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
are cutting back on. We have discovered that some charges for | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
day-care centres have gone up in the past year by more than 500 %. | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
These have also been increased for transport. Yorkshire cancel is now | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
charging �4 per journey. -- cancel. Barnsley Council did charge �5 an | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
hour, now it is charging �13 an hour. Nobody he will have to pay | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
more than �90 a week. With fees going up, many other the people are | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
turning to charities for help instead. -- many elderly people. | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
Bingo and lunch for the over- sixties. One by volunteers and | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
helped by some funding from Leeds City Council. Colin of the loan, so | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
he comes here every week. He used to go to a council-run day fester | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
and was paying �4.60 a visit -- a centre. It was then increased to | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
�29 a visit. It is a rise of 530 %. It is very sad that a price should | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
be put up by such a huge amount. They said that in April of this | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
year, when the new financial year starts, there would be another | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
percentage rise. Although I like going there, no, thank you. Leeds | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
city council say they spend around one-third of their budget on care | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
for adults, so they have to make savings there. Charges are means | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
tested and so they are only given on the basis of people's ability to | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
pay. Reviewing charges is all wrote -- always a very emotive issue. We | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
are trying to make sure that the provision of our services is as | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
fair to everybody as it can be. Some day-care centres are looking | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
at putting up fees again this year. Today, Kirklees Council admitted | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
here to discuss either getting rid of the maximum weekly charge for | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
care or increasing it. With less money available and demand for care | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
soaring, councils in Yorkshire say they need many elderly people to | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
pay more. Colin now relies on a charity to help keep him active. It | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
seems more and more Yorkshire councils may turn to volunteers and | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
the future to help care for elderly people. We did ask to speak to the | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
government, but they told us in a statement that they had given | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
councils an extra �7 billion for the future of social care and 2010. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
-- in 2010. Joining us now is Mike Padgham, who runs a care home in | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Scarborough and is an expert in care for the elderly. The | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
government and the councils of saying that they have not got | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
enough money. There is not enough money that is going into the sector. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Local authorities could be more efficient, but they need for money | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
from government. People have got to make a case to get social care | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
properly funded. How could they be more efficient? By using the | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
independent sector more. But the government has got to fund the more. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Millions has been cut. Even the director of social services so that | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
next year's �1 billion could be cut. I think the public have got to make | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
the case to not let them off the hook and from social care properly. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Were you surprised by the scale of the rise is? Yes, 500 % is | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
incredible. Older people deserve better in this country. I made a | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
point a few days ago about how the public have been clamouring for | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
libraries surveyed do not shut. -- so that they do not shut. We do not | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
want to let the government off the hook, we have got a once-in-a- | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
lifetime opportunity to get it right. We have got to make sure | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
:05:44. | :05:48. | ||
politicians here last. -- hear us. How do you engage the public in | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
this? With the media. We have got to make that case. We have got to | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
do it in a peaceful way and make sure our voices much louder the Net | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
has been. I call on the public to make sure they make the case to the | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
politicians. Let's make sure they get the message this time. Do you | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
feel that councils are stuck between a rock and a hard place? | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
Yes, and they have got to have the public to help support them. We're | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
the country can afford it, it just doesn't seem a priority from the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
national government. This is their opportunity to do something good | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
for us all. What better way is there to treat our other people and | :06:37. | :06:47. | |
:06:47. | :06:47. | ||
to give them dignity? The owner of two York nurseries investigated by | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
the police have spoken for the first time since the inquiry. Lynn | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
Dyrdal says she has endured six months of hell. Six staff at the | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Nurseries, Heworth House and Little Joe's, were arrested in August. | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
While it has -- while the case has been dropped, and investigation is | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
continuing. It was in August last year that six staff members at | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Heworth House and Little Joe's were arrested. Concerns have been raised | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
about the quality of care and welfare of the children, and a | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
joint investigation by the police, cancel, Ofsted and safeguarding | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
children's board was begun. Lynn Dyrdal were not top -- was not told | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
what the allegations were. In October, two staff were told no | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
further police action will be taken against them. One-man play to come | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
up Ofsted asked for procedural issues to be tightened up. That has | :07:42. | :07:52. | |
:07:52. | :07:52. | ||
now been done -- one month later. Six months on, it is no clearer if | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
there's any truth behind the allegations. But the effect on the | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Nurseries has been devastating. Nearly half the places are now | :08:00. | :08:09. | |
vacant. In August, they were full. Today, the nursery's owner Lynn | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Dyrdal broke her silence over the investigation which she says has | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
left her a broken woman. She said the allegations came out of the | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
blue and were a total shock. I went to the police station Mudhar was | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
told that two of minus three is well under investigation -- and I | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
was told. A list of allegations had been made against mine nurseries | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
and two could be construed as criminal. How did you react at the | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
time? I was angry. Total disbelief. I asked what the allegations were | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
and I was told that they could not tell me. I said that somebody had | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
made a very big mistake because I love the children and so do my | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
staff. The staff that I employ are wonderful and genuinely love | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
children. At that stage, nobody knew what the allegations were and | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
some were very fearful that sexual abuse was that the British this. | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
What was the reaction from parents? The next day was dreadful. I was | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
lucky I wasn't assaulted. I had one man having to lean against the wall | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
to stop himself from Headingley. Another man said that if anybody | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
had abused his daughter of there would be murder. It was just | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
dreadful. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. I was | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
beside myself. What is your reaction now that you know the | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
police are not going to take any action against the staff that they | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
arrested? I it always said from the start that my staff were totally | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
innocent and I was behind the 110 %. Have you heard any complaints like | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
this in the past? Nothing like this. I think anybody who owns the | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
business would say you cannot give 100 % satisfaction to everybody. I | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
have no serious allegations, none, ever, in 32 years. Do you accept | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
that any in -- any allegations do have to be investigated? | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
certainly do, it is very important. Safety of the children must be | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
paramount. It is not the job people do, it is how they carry it out. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
And what would be a message to the investigating agencies? I don't | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
know, you really don't know. Surely there must be a slightly better way | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
that this could have been handled. We did ask the City of York Council | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
for an interview but they have declined. They have an issue -- | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :10:51. | ||
they have issued a statement Later on Look North: We'll be | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
meeting to one of our most successful sportsmen. Squash player | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
James Willstrop talks about his new book, being the number one in the | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
world, and his rivalry with fellow Yorkshire man Nick Matthew. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
A number of homes in Scarborough have been evacuated because of the | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
gas leak. Residents are being told they might have to spend the night | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
an hotel. The contractor damaged a pipe in the Seamer Road area. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Diversion siren place between Valley Road and Queen Margaret's | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
Road. Our reporter is in Scarborough with the latest. People | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
are being told to avoid this part of Scarborough for the time being. | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
Contractors dug into a gas main at around lunchtime, sparking a major | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
emergency. Emergency services were called here. As you mentioned, a | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
number of homes evacuated. We were told about 150, that has now moved | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
down to 20. Those people spend the night in a local hotel. This man is | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
from the local council. What is the situation? The gas board are now | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
coming into the centre and taking people to the local hotels. Clearly, | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
many people will be coming home from work tonight. They may not be | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
able to get back into their homes. Around 20 homes still unable to be | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
accessed, what is your advice to those people? Keep coming down to | :12:23. | :12:33. | |
the centre. We are open and offering plenty of refreshments. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Somewhere warm, because it is going to be another chilly night here in | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
Scarborough. People want some placed to a bed down, can you | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
accommodate them if necessary? have to look for emergency planning | :12:46. | :12:56. | |
for that, but we will see. This part of Scarborough is still | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
cordoned off. This diversion could be imposed for several hours | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
tonight. As yet, we have no conclusion of this incident, but | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
engineers say they will work overnight to do so. | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Emerge investigation is under way after woman was found dead at a | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
house in Leeds. Police discovered the 43-year-old's body on | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Osmondthorpe Lane just after midnight. The woman was pronounced | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
dead at the scene. A 39 euros man has been arrested on suspicion of | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
murder. 170 people could lose their jobs | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
after a West Yorkshire joinery company announced it has gone into | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
administration. Oakworth joinery is one of the country's largest window | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
and door manufacturers. It has been in the town since 1965. His | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
problems are being blamed on the downturn in the buildings -- | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
industry. 550 jobs will go Shefford cancel | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
and the next year. The council says it plans to cut back on staff so | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
that frontline services can be protected. Council tax will be | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
frozen and one idea being considered is the new lottery, | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
It was a suggestion from members of the public and it is something that | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
we are now investigating to have a look and see what we can do and see | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
what's possible with a lottery in Sheffield. In we can do this and | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
raise some money, then it helps alleviate the pressure on some | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
services. An area of Scarborough's to be | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
renamed "Savile's View" in memory of Sir Jimmy Savile. The Leeds | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
entertainer was buried in Scarborough last year. The renamed | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
area will be a path that runs from his Esplanade apartment down to the | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
South Bay. There are also plans for a seafront sculpture of him. | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
shower he would say, "How's about that then?" The weather is cold and | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
likely to remain so, but it's a bumper year for snowdrops. We find | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
out more about a garden's latest project. | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
Sport now, and Sheffield Wednesday take on Blackpool tonight in their | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
FA Cup fourth round replay. If the Owls win, they will earn themselves | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
a fifth round trip to Premier League side Everton. Shamir Masri | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
has more. Sheffield Wednesday take some decent form into tonight's FA | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
Cup replay. The Owls are undefeated in their last five games in the | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
league. Although Wednesday are gunning for promotion a fifth-round | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
showdown against Everton is something the players and manager | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
are hoping for. The approach will be the same as it ever has been, to | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
try and get the game wonEr temporarys of the way we play, we | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
won't do anything differently to the normal way that we work. We | :15:53. | :15:58. | |

for a win. This time a year ago, Pontefracts' | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
James Willstrop was considering quitting squash. But what a | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
difference a year makes. This week he's competing in the national | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
championships in Manchester as number two in the world and won | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
three major titles back to back at the end of 2011. The revelation is | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
at the start of his book "Shot and Ghost", where he chronicles last | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
year but also reflects on, among other things, the death of his | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
mother, Lesley, when he was a teenager. He joins us now in the | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
studio. James, let's go back a year. You were that out of love with | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
squash? Yeah, it wasn't a great time. I had played a lot and | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
travelled a lot and hadn't had a lot of time to train. It kind of | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
the get to me a little bit. Unfortunate really, because I've | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
always loved it and that wasn't the way I looked at playing sport. I'm | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
fortunate to do what I do, but if you do too much of anything, nobody | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
can do that. You need breaks. Rafael Nadal had the same kind of | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
thing as well. When you look at squash and the number of rallies | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
and their punishing nature, they are just as bad as tennis for | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
taking it out of you aren't they? Yes, they are shorter games but | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
they are probably more intense physically. It is different | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
stresses. Tennis players have to play for much longer periods, but I | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
think when you are doing it day in and day out and travelling, not | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
training, it gets to you, as you are not improving. It all came to a | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
head and I fell apart also last February. You write in the book | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
about your mum. You described it as flash-backs, and almost as therapy. | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
I met you not that long after your mum the died many years ago in 2000 | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
I think. Why but feel the need to write about your death and what | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
effect did it have on you as a teenager? When I was first starting | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
off on the project I wrote everything. That came up. I thought | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
of her and she came up in my day- to-day musings, so they went down | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
on paper. Then we had to decide, do you leave that in? Do you want to | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
give this sort of information to people? I had never discussed this | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
with anyone really. It was hard to let go off but if I took it out, it | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
wouldn't be right. Do you think it's helped tow put it on paper? | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
think it has. At the time it was hard but it felt as if it wanted to | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
come out on paper. And we want to talk about your great rivals. What | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
was the first part of your relationship? When did it | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
disintegrate? The 2009 British Open. We had a tough match. We didn't see | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
eye to eye on it. I thought he was unreasonable. He didn't agree with | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
me. People have made a lot of it. Since then there haven't been many | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
problems, to be honest, but what's the problem in leading people to | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
believe in controversy? People seem to enjoy it. Yes. It's been a very, | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
very heavy rivalry. We play in Yorkshire. We are very different, | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
as I say in the book. It is not meant to be easey. It is a tough | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
world, playing high-level sport. And he has beaten you to get his | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
number one ranking back. It is a rivalry that goes on. It is. And | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
those are the challenges it brings up. I've loss loads of matches to | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
him now on the trot. I have to think of a way to beat him. He is | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
your Djokovic? Yes. And he's taken the one spot off me. I enjoyed | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
having it in January. Have to find a way to get it back. We can't take | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
sides but good luck with the book. Yorkshire's Olympic triathlon | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
hopefuls the Brownlee brothers took a break from their busy training | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
schedule today to help spread the word about this year's Yorkshire 10 | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
kilometre run. It will take place at Newby Hall, near Ripon, on | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Sunday 20th May. And that means the Brownlees won't actually be running | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
it. They'll be tackling the World Series at that stage of the year. | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
But there's a special reason for the brothers, Alistair and Jonathan, | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
to put their name to the event, which raises funds for the Cystic | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
:21:13. | :21:13. | ||
Fibrosis Trust. My dad is a - in cystic fibrosis. I've had lots of | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
kitchen table chats and he's told me how serious it is and how hard | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
it is for people. It is fantastic for people who've got the disease | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
to goo go out and exercise. It keeps them fit and healthy. For me | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
it is about pushing your limits but for them it is about staying alive | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
and keeping healthy. In cricket, the England selectors | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
have called in some Yorkshire lads to try and turn fortunes around | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
against Pakistan. Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan and Jonny Bairstow have | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
been included in the squads for the one-day and 20-20 series later this | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
month in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. A warm-up game against the Lions on | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Friday will give Bresnan the chance to prove his fitness after his | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
:22:00. | :22:02. | ||
recent elbow injury. A very good player. I go on about it all the | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
time. I know you do but you are absolutely right. Doncaster racing | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
I think is off because of the frost. If you are planning a trip, do | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
check. Finally tonight, the mild winter | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
and recent cold weather means it's likely to be a great year for | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
snowdrops, as the cold temperatures are more likely to prolong the | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
blooms. Hodsock Priory in Nottinghamshire has one of the most | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
spectacular displays of snowdrops, so we thought we'd go and take a | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
look. However, just as the gardens opened this year they were hit with | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
a deluge of the real white stuff. It hasn't put them off their latest | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
project though, creating a brand new wood to celebrate the Queen's | :22:40. | :22:50. | |
:22:50. | :22:52. | ||
Diamond Jubilee. Tom Ingall has been to help them out. Somewhere | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
under a blanket of snow lie as sheet of snowdrops. At Hodsock | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
Priory their annual display is a study in white as they fight back | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
against the weather. That's going to grow big and strong and have a | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
big trunk like me. It is just right for some hard work. The Buchanan | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
family who own the house are creating a Diamond Jubilee wood. | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
is a fantastic scheme toe plant 6 million trees in celebration of the | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Queen's Diamond Jubilee. How many of the 6 million are you planting | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
here? We are hoping to get a good couple of hundred here. The very | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
first tree went in yesterday on Access Day, which is very | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
appropriate. Let's add another one to your wood. I'm pleased you've | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
dug a hole. They are very small. I thought it would be a bigger | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
sapling. It is amazing that in 200 or 300 years' time this could be | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
the size of a very big tree indeed. As long as I don't kill it in the | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
burying process! That's the soil in the ground. We need more help now. | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
Butch, come join us. The stake goes on the north side so it always gets | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
the sun. Now we are done. Just another 300 or so to go? That's | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
what we cool. Do. Many monarchs will have come and gone before the | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
wood is mature. Who will sit on the throne 200 years or now? Only the | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
trees and the snowdrops will know. It is extremely cold, as you can | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
tell from those pictures. I noticed on my Twitter the other day, | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
because I follow you, and you are already getting in excuses in early | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
for why you might get it wrong for later in the week. There's a lot of | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
uncertainty. Some of these computer models are predicting snow for | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Thursday night but others aren't interested. Can I ask one point, | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
Paul, on the nets work news it said minus 15. Are you going for minus | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
15? It is always possible. Are you? I am. There's a lot of cloud from | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
the North Sea. Once it is down to minus 10, it is think of a number | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
:25:31. | :25:33. | ||
job. This is Rawdon. The second one is a beautiful frost on a tree in | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
Donington. And the third one is Sheffield. Keep the pictures coming | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
Sheffield. Keep the pictures coming It is very cold tonight with a | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
severe frost across quite a few places. Tomorrow varyable cloud. | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
The Pennines, west of the Pennines is where the best of the sunshine | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
will be. This weather front is trying to get in against in cold | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
air. Thursday night into Friday, a lot of uncertainty but there must | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
be a risk of some snow, especially in western areas. We'll keep you | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
posted. In the short term we've had a lot of cloud from the North Sea | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
but there's a back edge. There is the clear canner slot, which means | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
temperatures will fall sharply. Cloud from the near Continent means | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
a cloudy end to the night with one or two snow flurries in the east. | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
It is raw out there. A lot of cloud coming in from the near Continent. | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
That's around midnight we could get down the minus 10. The cloud sheets | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
push back in, preventing temperatures hopefully from falling | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
much further, with one or two snow flurries towards the coast. Minus | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
10, possibly lower. Church Fenton could be lower than that. | :26:56. | :27:05. | |
The sun will rise at 7.41. Setting at 0.51. | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
Quite a grey start in central and eastern areas. Bright spells over | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
the tops of the Pennines. The further east you go the more cloud | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
you are likely to run into, with the risk of an isolated snow flurry. | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
It is going to be a cold day. 1 Celsius in York. That's just 34 | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Fahrenheit. Similar values through South Yorkshire. Another sharp | :27:32. | :27:37. |
