Default Yet another Block

Yes I still can recall the fog in 1962 I wasn't able to go to school which I
suppose explains a lot. Don't read too much into the 62 part though as it
lead to a lousy winter :-(

May bode good for a colder winter. I used to associate mist and fog in
autumn as a precurser of colder weather ahead. Makes a change I guess
:-)

It seems that every time it looks like turning zonal a new blocking
setup seems to develop. Looks like a new block has setup to the SE to
keep much of England mostly dry with mist and fog keeping it cool but
not cold. Almost all November was blocked to the west or SW. These
sorts of blocks never seem to end up in the right place to give any
real cold but they stop the usual west or southwesterly flows. How
long can a period without zonal flow be sustained over England? and
what is causing the block after block patterns.
