Hi Gary

Oh no, what a shocker. Just had a look at webcam - looks a bit damp!

Keep us posted on if it changes to snow... fingers crossed for you.

Just been out to the supermarket, its like a wet thursday in Manchester, its chucking it down and the locals say it has been for the past two hours and going to continue until the early hours, they also say its falling as rain on the mountain and will not be cold enough to get any cannons on until at least thursday.

Will update in the morning..

Going to bed sulking
