Notice Bournemouth's reporting light snow
EGHH 242350Z 05011KT 5000 -SN SCT013 BKN025 02/M01 Q1018=

Bournemouth? - Full of clubs and clubbers.


Swept by vicious N wind [1], bright sun. Tolerable in shelter, otherwise
too uncomfortable to garden for very long. What's the Beaufort for whole
bare trees in motion on the gusts?

[1] Deflected by local shape of ground. Looks like Nly on topmeost bit
of birch.
