    Good for you BlizzardBelle. All it needs now is for my chili to simmer for three hours.

    Dull and drizzly here at the Brdige as we catch what is left of the decaying frontal system from the West and 4.2 degrees. On a brighter note, Sainsbury's are selling Piper Heidsieck champagne at £15 a bottle so the fridge is currently on danger money.

    Jupiter Pluvius here at The Bridge since 5:15, the NNW gusting at 30mph and temps now around 3.5 degrees Celsius.

    I can follow some of the things that you show and I rely on your knowledge. You would make a great teacher if you ever had the chance. One of the things that annoys me about this country is its obsession with cheap modern degrees and the fact that people like you who, like me, grew up in an age when exams were tough are totally ignored. I suspect you are more meteorologically clued up than most of the so called professionals. I did a French degree and came up against a lot of resistance. I shall continue to read your postings with great interest mate.

    Agreed John you would be great at it. I sympathise coming from the East End with no hope for further education available to me being born in Upney in 1966. I remember going to the National Union of Journalists as a callow 18 year old and all the interviewers knew the interviewees. A closed shop.

    A big Koo? That's not the one that Price Andrew courted in the eighties is it?

    Likewise it's a twopenny (oh all right two pounds thirty without an Oyster card) bus ride to my South too.

    Nothing here at the Bridge in terms of precipitation yet today.
  11. Canalboy
    No it isn't. There have been many many days with a lot more in every part of the country.

    Good old Broadstairs. I'd love to be in the Tartare Frigate now with a glass of red looking out over the beach. 3.7 inches here at The Bridge and the odd flake still wafting apologetically down. A nice layer in the West End earlier today too.

    Ma mere I should hope, mon mere would change her gender altogether

    meteoradar convinced too

    Temperature definitely on the slide here as well, It peaked at 0,8 around midday but is now down to 0.3 with a DP of 1.1
  16. Canalboy
    Less than an inch in Upminster Bridge. i think there was more at St Paul's where I work in The City. Currently 0,4 degrees

    Certainly in January 1987 and February 1991 I remember daytime maxima of -5 in central London and icicles the size of kitchen knives hanging off the black cabs. The Continent was ,however, considerably colder and we had straight Easterlies for the majority of those two cold events.

    Indeed, we had seventeen westerly / southerly days between Dec 21st and March 21st. The cold lingered on sporadically into April and probably did as much as the Unions in bringing down "Sunny" Jim Callaghan's Labour government. Another good reason for loving the cold weather

    Here on the cusp of the Havering / Essex border there has ben a small temperature drop from 2.2 to 1.8 in the last hour. DP 0.7.
  20. Canalboy
    Temp a constant 2.2 here for the last hour or so, although winds have veered from a straight westerly flow to a more straight north westerly and increased in speed
  21. Canalboy
    Temp at the Bridge has risen from 1.4 to 2.2 degrees in the twinkling of an eye. Straight westerly flow.
  22. Canalboy
    I'm from Upney originally but now of Upminster Bridge so definitely East London.
  23. Canalboy
    You've "gone down" in my estimation
  24. Canalboy
    Nice hyphenated surname there Mr Mantle-Bedford. I wish I was brought up posh like!
  25. Canalboy
