GFS now coming into line for a bitter, snowy spell starting in March :-)

Stop it Will! Don't ruin my spring. I don't want anymore cold spells, let
alone 'bitter'.

Lovely in sunshine in the garden today. Plenty of daisies, crocuses,
snowdrops and the odd daff out in flower here.

(14:00) 10.8°C, RH 76%, DP 6.4°C, 1034 hPa (S), Wind 10 mph WNW.

Daffodils are probably at their best here now, the really early ones
are past it. Might post a few pics later.

Today has been yet another lovely February day. A bit different to all
those bleak predictions of cold & snow on USW made around 13th Feb.
Cracking spell according to www.sennen-cove.com/today2.htm. Just look
at that lovely wave www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm !

Surprisingly, the SST is around 9C here ( www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=62107
) , wich is normal, only 1C down in this time last year and around 2C
warmer than the same time in 1997. This despite last years poor summer
followed by a rather cold winter. Very different story at the east end
of the Channel & the southern North Sea.

The nearby Gardens (Trengwainton etc.) have lost a lot of plants due
to that severe early January frost. According to the NT it's on a par
with 1987 for frost damage. However, unlike in 1987, Scilly missed any
significant frost this winter.

Time to stop rambling on
