Sunny in Brighton! Although there is a rather ominous looking cloud approaching from the east...

Little bit of snow here in SW4 earlier, but only light flakes dusting around, nothing heavy. Now bright sunshine with a bit of cloud cover.

Off to GVA on Friday morning so hope it's cleared up by then!

As for ironic humour... yes, we have to. It's a way to survive the long and dark winter. Alcohol helps, too. But who's the first?
On the bright side, the snow's great at Sunday River which is an easy drive from Portland ME....can you find a snow delay on the TATL home that allows a day out??

Our IT guy in Portland goes skiing at Sunday River all the time. For me this trip is strictly business... even snow days are not an excuse!

Looks like Boston won't be that bad weatherwise, if I ever get there. But thanks to delays at LHR, I might be able to experience T5 lounges a bit longer than what I anticipated. ^

Currently in the Flounge on the way to Linate (Lanson Rose and Shattier BTW).

There were some EDI/GLA/AMS/BRU flights are cancelled. But a quick glnace now shows most flights running OK.

Clear blue skies around the Twyford localiser but a bitter wind from the East.
