A bit wet in the UK

[RobertHH]

My garden is more like a marsh or bog and it's so slippery that I can only squelch on it with extreme care.
Compared to some parts of the UK I have nothing at all to complain about.
The Somerset Levels have been under water since Christmas and it is only likely to get
deeper.
The village of Muchelney is cut off from the surrounding area and it's main road is now only navigable by boat.
BBC News - UK weather: More rain hits already flooded areas

Rain warnings have subsided but falling temperatures in the evening will lead to ice across the UK, forecasters say.
The Met Office issued a yellow warning for almost the entire UK, valid from 18:00 GMT 26th Jan and 10:00 GMT on Monday27th, and said people should be aware of the potential for travel disruption.

Meanwhile, more than 145 flood alerts - meaning flooding is possible - have also been issued, with more than half of them in the South East of England.

There is also one flood warning and several alerts in place in Scotland.

This horrible weather follows on from coastal storms combined with high tides and a lot of damage has been done
to most of the Southern Coastal areas.

I am pleased to say that my new car cover is keeping the rain dirt and grime off my car, but I may need to modify
it for the oars.

Latest on the UK Front:
Ice and more floods expected.

Temperatures are expected to plummet later with the Met Office warning the UK to prepare for icy, frozen surfaces.

Parts of the country are also braced for snow.

Meanwhile, some communities in England and Scotland are being warned to expect more flooding after rain swept across much of Britain on Sunday.

Overnight the Environment Agency still had 14 flood warnings in place, meaning immediate action is required, with the majority in south-west England.

Forecasters said people should be aware of the potential for travel disruption as untreated surfaces freeze.

Only some western and southern coastal areas are excluded from the warning.

BBC weather forecaster Nina Ridge said: "Our main concern as temperatures dip down fairly close to freezing will be the risk of ice.

"As the morning goes on there'll mainly be sleet across any higher ground, rain at lower levels."

She said the heaviest rain on Monday would be in the northern half of the UK.

But flood warnings were in place for the Midlands, North East, South East and South West.

There were also 149 flood alerts - indicating flooding is possible - issued for every region of England.


Snow in parts of Scotland and northern England.
