    Scottish Cold Spell Discussion 23

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    I guarantee that this Monday/Tuesday will be a total non-event for everyone apart from the hills. Way to marginal and in my experience this usually means it will be a damp squid. Met Office are not making anything of it, and i am with them. I don't believe anything on charts 5 days out or more.

    This winter is over.

    Winter's not over in my book until I can go a full week of not having to scrape my car....

    Sympathise. been trying my best to avoid writing a report. Why is the kilted thread always quiet when you need it... Someone should make a tumbleweed emoticon.

    Agreed; looking forward to a "scorching BBQ day tomorrow, unusually mild with frost lingering throughout, snow flurries later. Heavy rain for long periods with little in the way of precipitation around, apart from widespread prolonged snow to low levels in most areas".

    sounds a bit like a meto forecast in the MT if you average it out...

    Your wish, is my command...

    Lifted from my own site - so feel free to get a site admin to add it :)

    And all over a high which is not going to sink!! Fair enough it does look like sitting wobbling about close to our shores, but if we're patient.....

    Edit: 12z is holding the high for ages!!

    I know - but because it's not going to deliver the prerequisite dumping of the white stuff on Little Fumblebottom, it's all out warfare.

    Sigh.

    :whistling:

    LS - been through the charts this morning from the 0z runs, and I'm struggling to see anything ?

    Certainly not anything along the lines of the excitement generated from the 18z... a couple of "nice" fax charts, but the ECM and GFS both look to have downgraded the cold for this week, and certainly into next the GFS brings the atlantic in...

    Or am I missing something ?

    Just finished reading a piece in the Sunday Mail, where a Meto spokesman warned parts of Scotland will be -12 on Friday, and that from Tues/Wed there will be frequent snow showers in the east of the country...

    Interesting that a meto spokesperson is willing to go out on a limb like that, when everything is still out in FI (effectively)

    Yes and for a change my lovely wife is lazy.gif upstairs.......but gives me some time to veiw charts ect. She thinks my obsession with cold and snow is completely weird anyway, but thats another tale.

    THis cold seems to be going the same as the last one. Lots of talk early on of no ppn, but as the event draws closer, things develop. As LS and others say, get the cold in and snow will crop up. You are perhaps sick of hearing it, but the 23rd Dec at about 2 or 3 in the morning a completely unforecast snow event took place from the NE. 6" or so fell over a large area. This was our largest fall of the spell, but shows things will happen if the cold is there.

    Great charts this morning........have to use that terrible word.........UPGRADEshok.gif

    I thought it was only my wife who thought it was "odd" the amount of time I spend looking at charts through the winter :rolleyes:

    Morning SP33 :rolleyes:

    Damn Kids, Damn Sunday Mornings :cold:

    Don't they know they are allowed to have a long lie ! lol That ECM chart is lovely -10 air right across the central belt - if that verifies (and it's kind of agreeing with the GFS), then Friday could very well be a snow day for us in central regions....

    I missed the last event in December as I stupidly went to Oz for Xmas, so I'm kind of desperate for another one (how selfish is that, we've gone 3 years since the last semi decent snowy winter, and now here we all are getting ready to move into Toorp mode if we dont get snow again this winter :cold:)

    0z gfs has Friday looking very interesting - Op and control on the ensemblies both going for sub -10 air, only a couple of members in agreement though...

    Whatever happens, from this afternoon, the cold air is coming and we should all be under some chilly air on the trudge to work tomorrow...agree with LS though, that there is some possibilty of snow overnight, the only thing that would worry me, is that temps and DP are conducive enough for it to lie ?

    Couple of Charts for Friday attached :rolleyes:

    Ah yes the pills are kicking in :)

    If I recall correctly - the last snowy outbreak in December, was pretty much "missed" until the day before wasn't it (forgive my memory, however I was in Australia at the time :))

    So, the anti-toorpness is working :) The fax chart above makes for nice viewing, so will wait in the hope that the 6z brings us at the very least something more snowy :)
