The most notable thing about this chilly winter in these parts has been the
almost complete lack of wind from an East to North East direction.(Despite
the many long term forecasts of such) Bar February 1st I have not seen what
could be termed a snow shower, even in the air. Being approximately twenty
miles from the Essex coast we always get a few flurries off of the North
Sea, even in the mildest winters, although in recent years these rarely
settle. Perhaps it will be the way of the Spring this year.
