A little bit off topic

Can anyone recommend please any books about how to understand the weather, charts etc

Something like "the weather for dummies" would be good

TIA

I put out loads of bread for the birds this morning and having spent 1/2 an hour at the kitchen window peeling veg I can say that they are stupid. My garden is covered in magpies and other birds that I don't know the name of, (city girl originally) and they are just hopping about ignoring the bread.

There is also a big, fat brown bird out there that is bigger than the chicken I just put in my oven. Tempted....

I have tried bread before in the garden and they never go for it.

Try any seeds, dried fruit, lard etc

Snow just become very heavy in central Bristol.

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

I think I do remember walking home from school with a few inches of snow on the ground in the early 80s but not sure - certainly was not a foot deep. I do have photos taken of me in the back garden in the late 70s with snow piled up everywhere though.

I think it was the winter of 81/82 and we had a foot of snow in the central of Bristol.

Also remember the evening post headline of -20 from then.
