We had heavy rain in the night (well, 'night' meaning 'before I got up', which may not be the strict definition) and this pm we've had sleet, in South Cambridgeshire.
It's here! It has rained here since 6 o clock this morning. It only stopped raining so it could chuck down some sleet and snow. It was 24 degrees in my polytunnel yesterday afternoon. Today it is 9 and that is with the heater on. The garden is just one big muddy puddle. The chooks are soaked and look pathetic. Mind you, that's their own stupid fault for not taking cover in the hen house.
