Facinating little article on Fen Skating, about a photographer who set out to find, photograph and document the activity.

I love quirky things like this, that date back centuries.

Brian Gaze from The Weather Outlook told the Express: "Computer models are suggesting that a weakening of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex (SPV) in the coming weeks could lead to an increasing chance of cold weather during February.

FWIW last night, the residue patches of snow melted in my back garden from the recent cold spell.

Met Office update: Note now a "Small chance of easterly winds"

Sunday 5 Feb - Tuesday 14 Feb
Sunday is likely to be a widely fine day, with long sunny spells across all areas, with residual showers in the far north clearing through the morning, and with cloud and light rain in the south also clearing. Cloudier conditions may begin to develop in the far west later. Strong winds in the north at first but easing through the day. Further into the period the conditions are expected to remain settled for many at first, with the most of any wet weather likely in the far northwest. Temperatures most likely around average for most. Later, the most likely scenario is for wetter, windier and milder weather to move in from the west, however there is a small chance of easterly winds developing bringing colder weather and some snow showers.

I also wonder if the Met Office have based their forecasts on the GFS model output? just interesting how the models back off and then suddenly they come up with "small chance of it turning colder in the south diminishing!" - having just written that in yesterdays update with snow showers?

Hopefully better than the BBC short range forecast for today. Supposed to be less cloud here but ended up the worst of High pressure gloom with thick grey cloud and drizzle on and off all day.
