Strauch, I can tell...the warning was far too much... They had snow only in Scotland and in the far north of England (Yorkshire mainly). I think today was the sunniest day of 2008 here in Bristol...

Now snowfall are moving towards East Anglia... and easing off...
That's the second time in the month that MetOffice fail a short term forecast...

Hi Leon! Yes, you're right. Looking at today weather conditions in most of the english stations there is nothing of really interesting to say. It' seems that even in "perfida Albione" weatherman find not easy to forecast

I call a friend of mine in Tarbert (isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides) and he said that the wind was really blowing as hell and it snowed a little bit.
Lets see the next round, it seems that also Monday things are going to be interesting

See you

I suspect Monday is gonna be rain! If it comes from SW it's hard to be something else.
Wind was really strong here as well...
