Make some space in your schedule for Thursday afternoon because this has the makings of a classic.

Selby beat Ricky Walden 6-0 in the first round last night.

It was one of last year's seemingly never ending sagas. 

And now there's more bad news I'm afraid if you were a fan of Snibston Museum in Coalville, which closed last summer. 

Plans to develop a new mining museum in Coalville have been axed by Leicestershire County Council. 

The council says it has to save £78m over four years and can't afford it.

I'm certainly not claiming to be any sort of meteorologist but it definitely feels a lot colder to me out there today. 

I've even had to dust off my hat. 

The coldest day of the year perhaps or is that just me?

Adry and bright start to the day with cloud increasing later.

There’s the possibility of the odd, isolated shower in places later this afternoon. 

Highs of 5C (41F).
