The Bartlett,

It has been the curse of my life, at least Paul will be forever remembered for the high pressure system he christened but in truth the Bartlett has been around since the end of the last ice age!

This winters Bartlett has been one of the worst yet although it turned into that most hated of weather features the 'zonal Bartlett' which was created by Mr Gaze in 2005, thanks for that Brian! Lol

"Two hours had passed and it was getting towards late afternoon. Pressure fell heavily over northern Scotland as the low began heading southeast towards Denmark.

An oil can flew past the window. As we were on the first floor I found this interesting."
