Looking at e.g.:

It appears that winds from central Russia are reaching the west coast of
Canada - via - Scandinavia - Greenland - Western Canada.

If any of you can access NH IR animations such as a few of us receive
direct from EUMETSAT it is quite extraordinary IMHO to see the flow of
air in this direction.

Looks like an ice day here in Porthcawl. Now at -0.8C after an overnight
minimum of -5.3C Webcam back on for a few hours at:

Will there be more snow for S Wales Will?

Where's the sun gone James?

You always call it Sunny Porthcawl and my daughter is now engaged to
someone who was born in Porthcawl and his parents always start with
[name] from Sunny Porthcawl. It seems that it is a standard greeting.
Is it to avoid the link with Port Talbot? :-)

Heh heh! You might think so Howard, but I couldn't possibly comment ;-))

I think being on something of an isthmus a lot of land convection cloud
does seem to melt away before it reaches us - but there is no sunshine
recording device that I'm aware of in the town, so can't confirm.

Still with about 6" of level snow on the grass at the back.

Hope your road gets passable soon Howard,

cheers

James (from frozen Porthcawl!)
