Good afternoon everyone.

The charts for the end of this week are suggesting that the anticyclone over
the british isles should have an ideal orientation to permit a plunge of
extremely cold air masses southwards towards the Balkans. No details can yet
be forecast, but it is highly likely that much of the country should turn
white for a while:-)

The country in question being Greece of course - just in case your post
should give rise to misplaced excitement in NW Europe.

Errm.... Yannis writes about "extremely cold air masses over The
alkans" -- and as far as I know the Balkans still are part of SE-Europe?

So here's to next weekends Greek snow-pictures :-)))

Yes. I meant to put a - in my post. Yannis just wrote "the country"
when the only "country" he had mentioned was the British Isles. To an
English reader, the country that "should turn white for a while" seems to be
.... the British Isles.

Whoops! Sorry for any inconvenience! But an anticyclone stalling over the
British Isles and then moving towards any reasonable direction (ie
eastwards/southeastwards) would only be able to give white joy to eastern
Europe, right?
Wijke, I hope I make it to any place with a decent snow cover and hence show
you the pictures you're anticipating! I'm not too sure it's going to snow at
THIS site.
