Any else noticed that band of rain over the southwest, turning very heavy. ahhhh if only it would travel north, dump a load of snow, the fall back south in the the Atlantic! This really is quite a remarkable cold spell were going through, i dont think iv seen anything quite like it, okay so we dont have massive amounts of snow, and the temps arnt remarkably low YET (its actually what we should get for winter) but i think its the prolongness of it that makes it note worthy, and its certainly with us for a week or more to come yet. i think this spell is defiantly one for the record books, the Bristol harbour has frozen several times already this winter, iv only ever seen that once, and that was in the cold of Feb 09. This is certainly setting up for what could be an excellent winter!
