A Little Milder
Apr. 5th, 2013 09:08 amIt was very cold yesterday and the last dibs and dabs of fallen snow were hanging on in shady places. They've all gone now (I just went out to check) and the air feels warmer.
I was reading an article a couple of days back which said this unseasonable weather is due to the jet stream- which carries warm air northwards from the tropics- wobbling off course. If it were to shut down completely (which is something that could happen) Britain and France would enjoy a climate similar to northern Canada's.

I'd better dig out me thermals. :o)
Might need them in St Andrews this weekend anyway!
