R.I.P.
In anything but loving memory of the 1 Evening Star weather forecaster, who was summarily executed on an improvised gallows on the ‘ Star ’ roof this morning, his ashes > being subsequently dispersed among the snowflakes he had said would not fall this year.

The answer’s snow! But—-the ‘Star’ will shine again..
