Default High pressure, cold nights

According to the forecast there are some frosts heading for Suffolk and
Norfolk and sleet on Monday.
All the result, presumably, of high pressure establishing itself over the
country for a few days and holding off the Atlantic lows.

Time to look to the geraniums, which are still flowering tucked up against
the south wall, and to the outdoor tomatoes - get in the last few fruit and
wave goodbye to the plants.

The lemon tree lives outside all year round and again is tucked up against
the south wall, so hopefully that will be fine.

Middle December for the first frosts is not bad going - very different from
my time in Berkshire - I just hope we get some warmer weather before
Christmas so I can finish my outdoor construction work.

What are the odds of a white Christmas this year?
Certainly there has been a lot of precipitation so if this carries on and we
get a cold blast we could see some snow :-)

Cheers
