The high pressure system has brought a lot of cold and snow to UK recently, and I took a couple of quick snaps to show the snow cover over UK:
I am getting tired of the cold weather now though, and looking forward for it the ice and snow to all melt! There’s a really incredible photo taken by a NASA satellite of UK in snow here.
Lately, a low pressure system has taken hold, bringing with it some warmer air, so a lot of it has melted. However it brought some strong winds! I was flying between England, Ireland & Northern Ireland all day a few days ago in winds up to 20kt and gusting up to 40kt! Not pleasant when it’s a crosswind and turbulent!
I flew down to Bergamo (near Milan) this week for the first time. Â We passed over the Alps just as the sun was setting – unfortunately the picture above doesn’t do justice to the amazing view we had! Â As we were descending we got a nice view of the city of Milan, which looked like a web of lights since it was night-time by then.
Next week I’m visiting Latvia, Lithuania, Lanzarote, Ireland and Spain (Malaga). Â I’m looking forward to Lanzarote and Malaga in particular as I’ve not been there before other than Malaga, for which the last visit was when I was doing my ab-initio training at FTE.
