Watching the weather

I'm due to be out this weekend on the bike, marshaling a cycle event in Northumberland so I've been paying a keen interest in various weather forecasts etc.

One interesting site to visit is the Durham County Council weather station site:

Here you can see the air temp. road temp and webcam shots for certain places in the county.

As I write this entry (22nd March 17:00) the Air Temp in Lanehead (Weardale) is 3 degrees and the road temp is -0.9 degrees!  Spring may arrive in the dale at sometime in the near future!!

Closer to home, at Bradbury it's 1.0 degree for the air, but the road is 1.6 degrees - positively tropical!

Needless to say, motorcycle activities have been taken as and when possible since the New Year and fingers are crossed for good weather for the Easter weekend and the Egg Run.
