Windy Morning

Late winter, and a windy bright day soon begins to dry things a little.

Late February sunrise

Sun is gaining strength now and the storms have abated for the time being.

Soggy January

After missing the worst of the storms in December we have been less fortunate through January, with about twice the normal rainfall - however 2007 was wetter and we've had far less than some places in the south and south-west.

February seems to be continuing in similar vein for now, however (surprisingly) February is one of our driest months on average, so there's a fair chance of less rainy if not dry conditions later in the month.

It could be worse, apart from imagining how snowy it might have been if we'd been 3 or 4 degrees cooler, look at this video from an ice storm in Slovenia!
