Was that the one on the dock road?

Hi Jan, yes it was Bacchus Taverna. Food was lovely and a free Metaxa brandy went down well.

Should be with you now, nice and heavy here with a Covering. Not much after this though! Hopefully the organised band tonight can deliver

What warm sector!? Think uppers have increased a little bit after reaching there lowest point earlier this evening.

Either way, apart from a little bit of more PPN that might hit, it looks like my fun and games will be over. Must say, i expected more convective wise when this was first set up but unfortunately you cant help last second spoilers popping up.

Suspect people further South in the region should see some more showers at least for the next few hours then all eyes on the PPN to the North. Not expecting snow here, especially with the milder sector but those higher up and inland could well get something, aslong the GFS is right with its westerly track.
