Weather chat. Wubble, wubble & wubble might make more sense. What could have been another Atlantic storm hitting the UK mid-week, has become a couple of split depressions. One makes landfall in Cornwall, Wednesday, moist air, meeting the northerly air stream at what point I don't know. There by lies the question. My guess is that Thursday & Friday could be a repeat of today, but with a couple of degrees drop in temperature. Don't ask, as that is anyone's guess as to whether it's just wet or slop. A glass of port might help at this juncture.

Good morning all, I am reviewing, the situation. Sticking my neck out, zugg!. I think it will be mostly dry for the rest of this week, very cold though. I do have a sensible reason for this notion, but my bowl of porridge is a better indicator. That was beautiful.

My first full season in Coventry was the winter of 1991/2. It was frosty and foggy in the run up to the first weekend of December. I was staying in the Novotel, up near the M6. One of only 6 guests apparently. I was due to go house hunting with my parents. The Friday was so foggy, it was hard to see the edge of the road. There was warning of snow and it started in the dark. By 8 am, the earliest I could ring my parents and tell them not to come, the snow was already too deep to drive in. The last vehicle to leave the hotel was a Land Rover, two hours earlier. The M6 was still functioning but soon ground to a halt with ill prepared travellers sliding down the steep embankment that now has a set of steps. Scantily clad fashion models and dozens of Crufts entrants and their owners slithered towards the hotel. On the Sunday I ventured out to observe the top of the Foleshill Road. There were cars and a bus slewed randomly in snow up to my thighs or deeper where it had drifted. Great planks of frozen snow fell from the overhead power lines. It was very dystopian and utterly exciting. It did something very similar the weekend in February when I moved in. It was almost as if the weather was trying to tell me something.
