31 DEC. 03:12. That's a thundery spell and in keeping with the BBC's
forecast for heavy prolonged snow. It usually gets warm and humid for a
thundery spell like this coming one.

So the classic adage might prove true that it is warm enough to snow.
As a side note, the isobars seem to be deepening and the last 6+M quake
we had was on the 23rd if you don't count the 5.7 on the 26th which was
blipped briefly at a 6 odd.

So if you know of any newsgroups in earthquake areas tell them to keep
awake over the next week and some.

A slightly active period, mid fives mostly. The pressure dropped an
inch and produced warmer weather. Now rising it is sunny and cool.
Another front coming and it looks like the sort we has a run of, a
January or so back.

Pity I can't remember what happened. Unusually warm winter weather I
think.

Or was it the year before that?
