Default Cold Front Suffolk

It seems that the forecast wind for aviation associated before and
after this front was a bit dodgy.
Airfield Tafs in the East were forecasting strong SW'lies which didn't
really happen here, but seemed to miss the especially strong NW'ly as
the front passes, and pressure rises rapidly. Lakenheath not so far
from me would seem representative to what has happened here in Mid
Suffolk A rare ocuurence to get a Gale in that area and they almost
made it.
A bit dodgy for a pilot on approach with this sort of wind.
