And from GWAS set out. Yeah, okay, and yeah, well here we got, we're surrounded by mountains here, east, to the east, all the way around to the north and to the west there as well. The only open we got is to the south, but they're far enough away not to affect, have no significant effect on VHF and UHF gums, which is a good thing, but they're very advantageous because normally the weather we get here comes off the Atlantic Ocean and that normally comes from the southwest or the west without prevailing winds. So the mountains actually sort of protect us quite a lot from any adverse weather, windy weather, snow, most of the snow gets deposited on the other side of the mountains. Only a little bit might get over the top every now and again, so we don't get much snow here at all. And of course being on the coast with the salt in the air, that helps as well in not getting the snow. So being on the, you might get at the very, very most, and sometimes no snow at all in the winter, we might get maybe about a quarter of an inch to half an inch. Half an inch is excessive, obviously it's more if it's drifting in the winds, but that's about all we can hope to get at this particular QTH. So it's a little bit of a microclimate and essentially there's any strong winds, the windmills reflect them above us and if it comes from the south though we're in for it. Back to you from GW8SZL and that's rare.
