Funnily enough, that's what I did at lunchtime - well, the normal weekly shop. It can snow all it likes now ;D

He's a techie so more likely to be 50 pizzas, 20 microwave burgers, 5 x 30 packs of crisps, a dozen 2l bottles of full fat coke and to keep it healthy an apple. :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D

Up until lunchtime today, we'd got away lightly, as being on the top of the hill, the wind was blowing it down into the dips around here.

But now it has got reasonably thick.

This winter end is outstanding!

Normally on the northern hemisphere we have strong western winds in the upper stratosphere, depending on a strong polar area of low pressure 30 miles above ground with temperatures about -70°C.
Mid February the normal situation changed completely.  Temperature rises exorbitant in the stratosphere. 0° C in 30 miles high. Wow, a major warming. An area of high pressure established in the upper stratosphere. So the northern hemisphere atmospheric circulation clanged completely from west  to east. It took one week to transform this situation into the lower atmospheric layers.

Now we have very high pressure (up to 1060 hPa) from Greenland over the northern Atlantic and Scandinavia to northwest Russia. Low pressure  is over the Azores, Biscaya and the Mediterranean.

That causes strong cold eastern winds in northern parts of Europe.

Over warm water (North Sea, Baltic Sea) this cold wind take much moisture from the ocean, so western counties (Sweden, Denmark,  northern Germany, England and Ireland) will get very much snow.

Oh ronnyd...

a TD 320 is fine, but i got back a Baby Blue to restore. It based on the TD 320 but the body is a complete own construction. I did 50 tables 10 years ago and one comes back to me. It is one of only two painted in Porsche Seal Grey. Some parts are missing / damaged but nothing is impossible...

Bit of rain here around mid day for couple of hours and has almost washed it all away...along with the positively barmy 5 degrees here. 8)

Crazy how we can have an almost 12 degree temperature swing inside 3 days ...only England  :)
