Well it looks like the cold could still be with us when I return from
my travels, it'll be a bit of a shock coming back :-0

Drove from Folkestone to Liverpool & back today & it seemed like the whole
country was in purpetual twilight almost. Very depressing...

Cloudy almost all day in Southampton and the immediate surroundings,
but only seriously dull between 0900-1030 and actually quite bright
from around 1400 to the end of the day, with significant blue patches
of sky in the last hour of daylight (though never in the direction of
the sun) - the fact that we're halfway to the spring equinox was very
noticeable this afternoon.

Since nobody has metioned it - we drove home this afternoon across one
of the higher roads on the North Downs - Detling Hill in Kent. After
some light drizzle, up at the top it was almost all snow. Back to
drizzle again on the M2....
