Found it hiding behind south coast of France. It's a awful fecker, turn your back for one minute and its up to mischief.

And I wonder how many people would be only too delighted if the same sort of move could be done with the Isle of Man, given the howls of anguish we hear every time it gets in the way of some sensible snow for the East Coast. Looking at that change, it would be interesting to see what would happen here if Scotland was in the Med, especially with a north east wind. All the way from Scandinavia with nothing getting in the way till it hit here. That would get a few people's attention for sure.

Back to reality, if such a thing exists at the moment, I've just come in, and it seems as if the temperature on the east coast is higher now than it was a few hours ago, but that may be due to the wind having dropped from what it was earlier. It came close to sleet in the late afternoon, but it's clearer now, but so far, no frost to be seen.
