this. Once established the pattern will be of the correct wavelength to
become stationary allowing the very cold and potentially bitter spell with
widespread snow to begin.

Bloody Hell Will. I hope you're wrong.

My 30 cm soil temps are on there way up (6.9°C), the weeds are starting to
grow and so is the grass, and the daises were out today. That means it's
time for the broad beans to go in (noticed a few already growing well on
other allotment plots).

Whilst down on the allotment today I saw the rooks building nests, there
were a few ladybirds (7 spotted) about, a Red Admiral flew by and so did a
few bumble bees. A 'potentially bitter spell' is the last thing needed.

Just a few brief glimpses of the sun today. A max of 11.5°C after an
overnight low of 7.1°C.

(20:35), 8.6°C, RH 86%, DP 6.2°C, 1026 hPa (F), Wind 1 mph NE.

Very much so. As we go into March we should end up with an easterly. I'm
not relying on model outputs for this, but the following reasoning. The
northerly (which I never really talked about) was never really on IMO.
Instead, if you remember I talked about a return to Atlantic mobility from
NW to SE, that will happen of sorts but the main effect will be to
transfer the high cell from over us to just further east and then build
over Scandinavia. There is just enough progression in the longwaves to
allow

is the cold still on Will?

It would appear that Mr.*******i's warning of continued severe cold

unanimous on a strong northerly a couple of days ago it seems less
likely now. More than a week ahead again ........... always the
same. Some good drying weather instead, hopefully.
