Welcome Relief

At any other time a morning when it didn't stop raining would have been greeted with dismay but following the prolonged cold spell with snow and ice, I for one greeted the precipitation with some relief.


Some people still found it necessary to grumble but others like the two pictured above paused to pass the time of day and apart from the umbrellas seemed oblivious to the conditions. The rainfall helped wash a lot of snow and ice away and made getting around a lot easier and much safer than the black ice of earlier this week. However if it freezes tonight it could well be a different story tomorrow!
