Default 12Z sdgs and snow risk

Afternoon, Joe. Is the current situation disturbing your studies again?

I've been watching the temperature here crawling only slowly upwards,
after this morning's frost. It's still (16:15 hrs) only 3.8C. To my
mind, it'll be cooler this evening than the forecasters thought. I am

in
"E Anglia" (well, for the TV regions purposes, anyway) so I'm

anticipating
some wintry precip. tonight. :-)

I'm flying to Andorra (Arinsal) on Sunday for my very first winter
holiday - it would be just my luck to miss any action here, wouldn't it?
(And don't tell me to "break a leg" will you.)

Hi Tom,

Yes it is, very much so, not helped by the fact that all lectures and
tutorials are cancelled due to them all taking industrial action for pay
reasons ! I also have double the amount of work to do having missed all of
last week, I took a winter holiday to Val d'Isere/Tignes, like you next
week.

Wind has veered significantly here as the surface trough sinks south,
bringing in cooler air. EGNM down to 00/00 for a time, now 01/01.
