Select the wind chart on home page and believe. They usually have it right – for 7 days ahead! It will show you if there’s no wind & your frost likely. And when the gales will be. AND it works with rural bbd. I’m very attached to my Firefox weather toolbar (from accuweather.com) and available in Chrome – links into any weather station close by – in my case one of those lamp–post–style weather thingies the council put by the side of the road, a mile away! It’s an unobtrusive partial toolbar and you can have it for 5 days ahead, top or bottom of screen. Shows day & night temps & weather expected. It’s usually right too! Hover on an icon & detail pops up. Works really well. I wouldn’t be without it.

John – that’s the old railway aqueduct over the river

Fantastic word and so apt in the circumstances. I stumbled into the twilight zone myself earlier this week, I doubt I’ll be back.
