Okay now this is a testing time for all lovers of local democracy.
Candidate Tim Crowley has just described it as "the first part of the apocalypse....." might not be that bad but from where I'm sitting it is going to be hard for all the committed and dedicated people to keep their spirits up.
The various party vote recorders I hope have packed up their deck chairs, the local authority staff may well need to get out their crosswords because these appalling weather conditions certainly don't look like shifting too soon.
Just this morning there were various messages hoping the weather would be fine - well it started okay.
Here's hoping that this is a passing shower and we can get back to the climactic encouragement that we all need to get out and vote.
Postal voters are currently grasping their nice hot mugs of tea or coffee and smiling inwardly.
