When we all signed up for snowboarding, it wasnt always bluebird perfect sunny days like we get in california so my attitude with contests and even with training oi with contests and even with training or shredding on any given day is like, learning to adapt with the weather and just doing your best in any given conditions. The womens giant slalom was postponed and will now take place on thursday. None of the snowboarders suffered major injury, but the International Olympic committee and International Ski federation faced questions as to why the final was not shelved with the wind coming in at dangerous angles. Each federation has a wealth of experience in their sport and we really, bow to that. Of course we have to co ordinate the whole schedule. It is quite a headache getting all the different sports and so on getting all the different sports and so on to run in a different way but obviously we would never take a decision that would put in jeopardy the safety of the athletes so we consulted and we obviously make the final decision because we are co ordinating the whole event but i think we would bow the technical issues to the federation s viewpoint.

Tuesdays weather is a wet, windy, and for some of us, rather wintry tale. The culprit an area of low pressure swinging in from the atlantic that will bring some disruptive snow to the northern half of the uk. Some wet and windy conditions further south. So here it is this weather front pushing in from the west. A low Pressure Centre to the north. The low itself will keep the winds up right the way across the british isles. The worst of the snow will be through the morning in time for the rush hour, sadly, across scotland with 5 10 centimetres possible across the highlands. But a good few centimetres possible through the centre belt, making for a dangerous rush hour. For Northern Ireland, perhaps the worst of the snow pulling away by 8am, but not i think before weve had some significant accumulations. Snow for the pennines and the Higher Ground of wales too. But even to lower levels for a while, even possible across the midlands. Then further south, weve got some heavy rain and some strong winds. So for the morning, a very messy picture. Keep up to date with the travel on your bbc local radio station. This is the way the day then pans out. This whole weather front will push its way eastwards, clearer skies will follow on from the west, but some wintry showers for scotland and Northern Ireland. So you can see scotland clears considerably as the day goes by. But that threat of something a little bit winter across the midlands through the mid afternoon is mostly rain by the time that front gets into Eastern England in the second part of the day. A chilly story wherever you are, even with some sunshine. 4 or 5 degrees. This front away to the east through tuesday evening, overnight into wednesday, clear skies after that falling snow and the moisture lying around, widespread frost developing. Ice a risk first thing wednesday. Were talking about quite a widespread frost first thing wednesday, and quite a hard frost as well. The west, though, notice the blue easing somewhat by the end of the night. Thats because well see a weather front approaching, trying to bring in some cloud, which will lift the temperatures, but of course, its bumping into all that cold air, so again, snow a potential problem for scotland, i think, parts of Northern England and wales. Behind the weather front, some milder air coming in, so turning back to rain across Northern Ireland and wales as the day goes on. It will keep some showers pushing into scotland and Northern Ireland, and some of them could be wintry for a time. Generally, things a little milder by the end of the week.
