Had a busy weekend avoiding paint as the biggest pink cracked on with a project. A #Ghostbusters #OrbOfGarraka, a cheap Etsy buy that after a bit of sanding and trimming, painted up rather nicely.

The freezing level will fluctuate over the next few days, but will often be sufficiently low to allow snow over higher ground in northern areas and perhaps to lower levels at times ❄️ Whilst colder air may occasionally encroach further south, rain is more likely to fall here 🌧️

Tuesday will be colder than today and when you factor in the brisk easterly winds, it will feel like it's below freezing for some of us 🥶

An icy start to the week for some in the west 🧊 Cloudy elsewhere on Monday morning with outbreaks of rain and drizzle ☁️ Windy in the far northeast and southwest 🎐
