Certainly my sentiments Will. All this electronic instrumentation I
have in readiness to witness a real winter and nothing, absolutly
nothing! We've even missed the rain and gales of the last week, which
does'nt bother me particularily, but I am realy getting dissolusioned
with the weather nowadays. I've only recorded 9.4mm of rain this
January, so we maybe heading for one of our driest January's for many
a year, hard to beleive for many I guess. Of course media attention
will be focused on the 'Frost' that may bring the SE to a standstill
with headlines such as 'Deep Freeze' comes in as forecast. I can only
think the media are still in nappies and think a blizzard is something
you have a day out at in Orlando. On the plus, heating bills are kept
down and I hardly have to scrape ice off the car in the mornings. I am
expecting the 21°c to be recorded in the SE sometime at the end of
March this year

A modest target Keith, went past that one in mid March 1990 with 21°C

All the best
