Surelly it was more of a north westerly, than a northerly
hence the reason this was so naff for se england and east anglia.
If it was a straight northerly then east anglia wouldve had more in the way
of snow!

If I'd listened to the metcheque, two and UKMO forecasts I'd be makinking up
food parcels for all those poor stranded people in Kent!

I don't know what the forecasts on Metcheck and TWO were because I
don't surf their sites, but assuming they both ramped up the White
Christmas thing (did they?), have they admitted they got it wrong
about a White Christmas for most of the UK population? Or did they
forecast "No White Christmas" for the areas who didn't get one?

Just wondering.

Yeah, A standard 'northerly' as told by the BBC and others over the UK is
usually a NNW, although it's worth looking at the globe and the longitude
lines and you can see a true Northerly will not appear a straight 180 , (I
think).
It seems it is scientifically impossible to get a straight Norterly down
here in the SE due to that atlantic ridge, and lack of low to the South and
other reasons. Don't think I've ever seen a real true Northerly (180
degrees) in any historic charts. No doubt it happens and we get snow here.
Not these days of course!
But I know what ya sayin' and I agree. I wish people would say NW 'cause it
makes hell of a difference for the East, and more especially the SE.

Strange word - "naff" - to describe two beautiful sunny winter days in East
Anglia. A mid-morning walk today along frosted footpaths is all I could
have asked for.

The only "naff" thing about today was a less-than-impressive performance by
the England cricket team! We lost six wickets while I was out for my walk.

So it's your fault! How could you do it Jack?

I'll be out for a walk in the morning and I confidently expect to get back
home to find England batting again!
