    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?
