How much wind?

It's been blowing an absolute gale on and off all day here - not that we're soft or anything, but it didn't half make it feel nippy...

The good news, though, is that this blustery weather is a forerunner to more snow. Apparently. The MET office says it's true, so don't hold your breath.

That said, a number of corroborating sources support the claim - in fact, they say there's about a foot due at mid-station tonight, and more next week...

Well, maybe holding your breath isn't such a bad idea...
