Yup ,funny old cold spell this , my max in sunny Woodford Green ,suburban
Essex reached a tolerable 6.3c today ,and after a little rain this evening
temps are climbing again from 4.2 at 6pm to 5.2 c now ,and still rising .
Are we to look to only high ground above 200 meters and generally north of
Staffordshire ?,yes I know it snowed in parts of Essex this afternoon,but
that hardly justifies the dire warnings being bandied about at the
moment,mind Piers has decamped to the Caingorms I hear.....
