Harriers Final goodbye happenings (updated)

Talking weather, here in my part of north Cambridgeshire, it was raining when I took my bin bags out last night and the temperature was just below 0 and now this morning ever where is white with frost and -2. I should imagine ice on untreated roads could be a problem.

"33010KT" Looks like it might be 04 rather than 22 if by some chance it does clear enough!
