Yes, Toby has been sacked as the director of the weather report and we’ve drafted in Nick to show us how to do arty things. I think you’ll agree it feels more like a sequence from and episode of Top Gear rather than the usual shaky weather report…

Once again Sophie steps in front of the camera, although if you’re all very good Kent will be doing one in the very near future. So behave yourselves.

Get out of Verbier and over to Nendaz – blue skies and amazing conditions and about 20cm of fresh….

No blue skies today and the wind is starting to get stronger. But the really really big news is that it’s NOT dumping.

In fact it’s the first time this year it’s snowed and not been an massive storm. I feel faintly disappointed…

Yes, Toby took over the direction of the weather report this week and he’s delivered a meaningful piece that allows him to both express his feelings and communicate them through the medium of his muse, Sophie, and some incidental jazz…

I think it’s hard to disagree that if the Baftas were just a week later it could have been a contender.

Half term is here. And it’s actually not that busy. I haven’t had to queue for a lift or take evasive action to avoid any out of control groups of kids. And I just went over the M25 and saw about three people on it.

So it’s quiet. Too quiet…
