"Yesterdays pattern indicated a very intense upper ridge, centered over the British Isles and the North Sea where strong subsidence within the ridge is resulting in incredibly warm airmass for the end of February," Severe Weather Europe meteorologists said. "The airmass is 10 – 15 °C (18 – 27 °F) warmer than average!"

The Angels gave to me this poem
When the winter comes then it is to cold when we need the rain it is too much rain, when we need the snow it is to much snow, when we need our vines to grow then the hail comes falling to large when we need the lightning bolts to nearish the earth it is to many bolts and when we need the sun to shine in the summer time he pays us no mind as if HE no longer has the time.
