Hi David & all list members, December in the UK has been rather wet and windy from the south west. But last week, it changed round to the east. It must be really cold where Arto lives! Now it blows down from the north, (where Rob lives) which brought only a dusting of snow for us with a hard frost Saturday night. Today we awake to another frost, otherwise it is clear dry.
Here in the East Midlands we seem to have escaped the worst of the snow that hit only 50 miles north and south of us. Friends in other parts are out with toboggans and building snowmen. We feel fortunate so far, not to have all that snow to drive around in. There is a big coal-fired power-station just 8 miles north of here at Ratcliffe on Trent, (Activists are trying to close it). We think the output from that does much 'To drive the cold winter away'...as you say. It is forecast to be much the same over Christmas, but more likely rain than snow. - We'll see. I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone on the list a very Happy Christmas. But you call it what you will and enjoy it. Best Wishes Ron (UK) To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
