The jetstream (the driving force of all our weather in the northern hemisphere) has moved farther south for the first time this winter giving the north-west of the British Isles a welcome break. Not doing the south and south-west any favours though.

Today i would say there's a light breeze crossing at 76Mph the countryside.
I woke up twice this night as the glass of my coldframes took off even with stones on the frame.
Until now we only had a night with -4°c i definitely need to focus on tropical plants and stop alpines ones

I'm thoroughly sick of the site of Imogen, I wish she would go and annoy someone else.

We have had storm after storm up here in Scotland with downpour after downpour.
For once, the latest storm (Imogen) has not come our way. Today was one of the nicest days of the winter: dry with some sun and no wind although rather chilly. Managed to spend 4 hours in the garden. No doubt the next storm will pay us a visit soon.

Here in California the weather has returned to disaster mode.
The high temperature yesterday was 76 F (24.5 C)
This broke the old record for 8 February by 4 degrees F!
Absolutely no rain or snow insight. If something does not change soon we will be back in drought mode again, this being the 5th year in a row. We still need 15" (381mm) of precipitation to just have
average
precipitation for the season.
In addition, the warm days and nights are pushing all the plants out of dormancy very prematurely. We still have 2 months where we can have hard frost. Even cold hardy plants can be mowed down under these conditions.

Robert,
Yr tells you will get colder weather and some rain in a week's time!
http://www.yr.no/sted/USA/California/Placerville/langtidsvarsel.html
We will get some sun but colder weather the next few days. The sun is welcome but not (hard) frost.
