Steam Ban due to fire risk (updates)

"This weather app and widget are able to warn you against precipitation (like rain or snow) by a silent alarm."

I find I can look up at the sky, and observing the immediate conditions, make a pretty good decision as to whether there is precipitation likely, which would seem to me a far more accurate prediction for my precise locality.

 

How seasonal! The only restriction at present down my way is the absence of any railway connection between Guildford and Portsmouth where the running and third rails are developing a nice rust colour on the closed bit between Haslemere and Petersfield. Suddenly, Network Rail has been reminded why it took so long to construct the Portsmouth Direct route. The need to maintain cuttings and embankments has come back to bite them big time. It appears that throwing a bit more ballast down, raising the track and screwing up the clearances for steam is not always sufficient.
