According to www2.wetter3.de/animation, the north coast of Scotland is to
get a thickness of about 510dam with a 850mb temp of ms12C on Friday April
8th at 0000z. Even Kent is to have 524dam at that time. It will be
interesting to see if this comes about. Somehow I doubt it!

That's nothing! Grads (http://grads.iges.org/pix/euro.144hr.html) shows sub 516
DAM air with 850mB temp of -10C over eastern England for 00Z Sat 9th! Not
surprising when the jet stream is roaring straight down from the north pole! If
that happens, looks like the air temp won't get above freezing here at all
during the day!

If it happens, that will be the first time in my lifetime that the daytime temp
stays below freezing this far into April. The last time the daytime temp stayed
below freezing was in the first three days of April 1986!

Aagh! Every time I learn something new... it pushes something old out of my brain!
