Umbrellas are up

After the snow, the deluge... to paraphrase a saying.
Yup, the temperatures are now rising, the rain falling and thus the snow slides away. But, the thaw will mean flooding in some parts.

I think we are all a bit sick of the current unpredictable weather.

Rain rain rain

Staffordshire got flooded today; and there were estimates that today saw what would usually be considered a month's worth of rain!
Thus there was no play on these tennis courts, as there hasn't been for every other day for the last six weeks.

Waterlogged field

We’ve had lots of rain, as well as the high winds; and in low-lying areas, the roads are flooded and the fields waterlogged.
Fortunately, it’s been a constant drizzle, and not the flash downpours that cause the really severest flooding incidents.

The rain doesn’t look like stopping though.
