12Z profiles, especially Herstmonceux and Camborne, show light winds in
the lowest 1000-1500ft, Nottingham less so. Any heavier precipitation,
possibly induced through the interaction of the surface trough, currently
Kendal to Newcastle, and the cold frontal zone may cause an isothermal
layer to be produced. This would mean deeper penetration of snow through
to the surface. MetO are going for more of a risk over towards E.Anglia,
due to quicker cold advection. Leeds already in RASN. It will be an
interesting one to watch.

Afternoon, Joe. Is the current situation disturbing your studies again?

I've been watching the temperature here crawling only slowly upwards,
after this morning's frost. It's still (16:15 hrs) only 3.8C. To my
mind, it'll be cooler this evening than the forecasters thought. I am in
"E Anglia" (well, for the TV regions purposes, anyway) so I'm anticipating
some wintry precip. tonight. :-)

I'm flying to Andorra (Arinsal) on Sunday for my very first winter
holiday - it would be just my luck to miss any action here, wouldn't it?
(And don't tell me to "break a leg" will you.)

Hi Tom,

Yes it is, very much so, not helped by the fact that all lectures and
tutorials are cancelled due to them all taking industrial action for pay
reasons ! I also have double the amount of work to do having missed all of
last week, I took a winter holiday to Val d'Isere/Tignes, like you next
week.

Wind has veered significantly here as the surface trough sinks south,
bringing in cooler air. EGNM down to 00/00 for a time, now 01/01.

What are the conditions like in Tignes? Planning my 3rd week boarding in early April!

Heh - my supervisor is on strike, but I shall be teaching as normal
tomorrow even if none of the students turn up! Apparently we are having
a 'protest supermarket' outside the library - I haven't the foggiest
idea what that's all about!

BTW. Very light rain here, 4.5°C.

Hmmm..... I've come across a "One-stop Shop" but Protest Supermarket is a
brand new one on me!
