Yesterday was one of the better days of this horrible winter.

You're spoilt ;-) Cloudy and drizzle all day here :-( Saturday before
last was nice though. We've not had lying snow for three years now. I'm
trying to paint the hallway but haven't had any natural light to see the
colour test swatches since I got them. Light on all day and it is South
facing!

I have condensation problems which is good as there's no painting for me for a while.

Too far out for a serious call but the NAEFS is clearly marking its card for the 14th as Earthquake Weather. Eastern Hemisphere -that means we probably won't have weather fronts for it.

As compared to the chart for the 3rd of February 2016 which, although ostensibly an earthquake signal, develops ragged isobars -indicative of line-storminess, instead (the so called aerial earthquake.)

So now we have to find corresponding indications such as a Delta "occluded front" traversing the Atlantic in a manner dissimilar to the style incorporated into Lows with lots of mice which tend to close up and go bang -as if a lit fuse. (Such as this one: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...ime=1454241600 for example.)

Or a very large cyclonic system nestled on the delta known as the Ross Ice Shelf such as this one: http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/char...Refresh+ View for another.

These are particularly useful as sometimes they don't run as expected (but only due to magnitude. (Forecast!!)) The one pictured at the time of writing spills over and runs upstream spreading a mat of isobars across the Furthest East. It is in fact conclusive.

Well, it is better than watching paint dry in the cold and damp.
