I was looking at the long range forecast for next Tuesday on Metcheck with a view to going on the Wye - unbelievable.

For Hereford between 9 am and 3pm it is zero degs, feels like minus 18 :eek:

WIND 91 to 93 mph

Think the fishing might be cancelled :p

Here is the weather forecast for the elderly...
IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT NIPPY... I SAY, A BIT NIPPY, YES. WRAP UP IF YOU'RE GOING OUT. DON'T FORGET YOUR GLOVES, AND DON'T PUT YOUR COAT ON NOW OR YOU WON'T FEEL THE BENEFIT

I'm thinking of taking a patio heater next trip. Yes, I Know they add to global warming, but my way of thinking is when it all warms up a bit, I won't need the patio heater anymore.

I think metcheck were having a laugh, all back to normal now.

I feel like a right muppet, I told my Mum and Dad to sit tight and not go out next week based on their info, with predicted -18degree wind chill and 400mph gusts!!!

I bet the guys at Lloyds had a mini heart-attack!!!

May be a cyber-protesters thing what with Copenhagen and all.

Either way I'm off fishing, I'll strap a couple of 6oz grippas to my ankles and hope things don't go too Wizard of Oz :)

Graham,

No need for a fan heater; I use one of these inside a Korum Stormshield brolly.

It is light, catalytic so no naked flame, and lasts a full day on the river bank. I usually pop it on for about 20 minutes at a time but only when it gets really cold.

I look forward to debuting the special "ocean yacht-going type balaclava", the lad got me last Xmas, tomorrow on the Idle.

Always remember the golden rule....seeking a change from a settled weather system...arrange a fish-in! ;)
