They really haven't a clue have they? Still it's only a comic not a
newspaper.

Not this bit of Britain, it's been a fairly pleasant day up here,
intermittent sunshine, the wind dropped from an F5 breeze to basically
nothing, temp has been above 5C, the wet slush has gone leaving just a few
bits of snow lying from the bigger (6") drifts. Did belt it down for a
while about 1600 giving 5 or 6mm of rain but that's nothing special.

Wanders off to check the charts, hum, early hours Wednesday and on could
be a bit intresting.
