As much as I like a good Atlantic low.. no to 3 months of it.. if we have to have a mild winter then a sprinkle of frost at least here and there as well.. it may feel like a rural myth but decent cold and freezing weather is said to ward off certain bugs and things.. for those with animals especially. Plus less of that flipping mud.

I had a Facebook memory today from November 2011. Same great sunshine and maybe slightly warmer. Now I’ve seen that memory, all comes flooding back ( it was the last winter before my old trusty steed passed so hence is now very vivid) and the weather today was indeed just like then. So yes warm considering the time of year but it has happened before for me. ?? it’s great.

One thing is bugging me. I work in transport planning and we have a modelling team. Same principles as weather modelling, and diff models predict forecasts etc on a network etc. Whenever a model is re run with a new scenario or data the output is an update run. It is never an upgrade no matter how good the data is going on. So why every time there is a new run or a comparison is it called an upgrade? Or is it the upgrade just the opinion of the viewer? Odd post I know, am sorry. Just curious.

Great to see you on here and thank you for this. Enjoyed reading it, and will try to digest. See you soon on the SW regional. -
Think it’s cos it is a direct southerly not a south westerly?.. south westerly you / we (my parents too) get a bit of shelter from the land points to the east.. southerly different story.. it was indeed some years ago my parents had a southerly like this. ( Dad is an ex sailor so knows his weather!)

One downside of this storm... getting repeatedly slapped in the face by the leaves which are flying off the trees on that subject anyone else think we've a lot more colour in the trees this year. Lots of yellow too feels like - anyway to me.. maybe cos we have had such lovely still and sunny weather to date the leaves have stayed on longer to change colour? Dunno ...
