  1. Really pleased for you mate, if it freezes over tonight we might still join you with that white christmas.

    thanks, good luck for you, probably will freeze over tonight hopefully, with not much sunshine at all tomorrow and some low cloud and fog, it looks like the snow will stick around/ it would take a lot for it to melt tomorrow as we havent had hardly any significant thaw

  2. Mate I share your frustrations 2.

    friday evening all the heavy showers missed me leaving me with a patchy 1" covering, while just ten miles away in pately bridge they recieved 7/8 inches. We was suppost to get 2-4" saturday night, I lost 1" laugh.gif .Then on sunday morning they were predicting 2-8 inches, we got nothing apart from 1 inch monday morning.

    But some areas havent got anything so cant complain really and it has been fun model watching smile.gif

    where is this rain for peeks sake lol? radar shows it right right at us and not a single fall of, rain, sleet or snow!

  3. it has i suppose and nice for some snow. but other areas like you say around us have been pasted and they then get even more and it just doesnt seem fair!! i cnt see next week coming off.it needs to intense up now if we have a chance like it was forecast but they got it wrong!! sak them and put us in and typical when places like reading etc were forecast light patchy snow and they ended up getting hammered!!typical

    its not about being fair, its not like when someone get more sweets than some other person, its just the way it gos. yahoo.gif white xmas for me i think, with the lying snow, i was one of the lucky ones at least

  4. guys i dnt wana sound annoying but plz does this not frustrate you!! look at the predicted precipitation charts on metoffice website and precip type and the both show heay snow for pennine areas and less further east but its the complete opposite! its unbelivable, and the way the charts are going leeds will have no snow because look at tht shield taking effect!! wht a let down!! how cum other places in the world dnt get let dwns such as new yrk etc!!i wouldnt call this a severe cold spell.here in shadwell we had more last feb!!

    lol i agree, but the new york storms are widespread, but yet they still never get let down. the set ps of snow for NY always seem to egt them whenever there is a major storm going east, it bugs me. hope they lose out on a lot of snow this year, there expecting double digits in a few days and rain, not seasonal really for them and not much in the way of snow for new york so far this winter or i havent heard

  5. fipping heck have you seen the new year charts! If ecm keeps hold of what is happening up in greenland at the start of the run, i predict a stonking ecm too. this is just too much lol. its going to be very interesting indeed.

    the regards to snow next week, i would say anywhere midlands northwards would be just totally snowed in. and all the snow dumpings what follow would add to the extremely snowy conditions. very exciting indeed. those who are moaning for cold and snow, need to stop looking at the charts because it will be harder to get much better than some of these stonking runs.

    i have just got to say whether its rain or snow places get, its gonna be interesting to see the pictures, this is something i cannot wait to see. could be mind blowing and this should transport people back to the 70s

  6. could someone tell me how i can find my current tempertaure? i live in kirklees and to find out this areas temps i usually look at how cold it is in leeds, however i don't live in leeds so the temperatures would be different. is there any site i could use because i notice some people put there current conditions in their siggys. what do people use to find all their current weather information, i don't mean a themrometer, but like the wind speeds etc

  7. Potentially record breaking blizzards for the northern half of the country next week with 3-4 feet of lying snow and drifts of up to 30ft if those charts for next week come off, crap down here but Scotland, Cumbria, Midlands, Yorkshire, Tyneside will be getting heavier snowfalls than the eastern seaboard of the USA got the other day if there is no downgrades

    30ft is a bit off, in 63 some got up to 20ft, but after so much snow it could get there expecially if the wind is strong, either way looking possibly pretty spectacular, my mum said last night all these big snow events in the 70s etc, bought ordinary snow up to the windows and drifts up to astonishing heights and did not go for weeks, and my grandad use to get on the roof and knock off all the snow off the roof too. so if next week comes off, the snow thios week would look pretty crap

  8. That particular storm was unbelievable, in some exposed lanes close to the village where I grew up, the snow blew through hedges and some drifts were well above adult head height. I remember standing with some friends inside a hollowed out snow drift.

    Sorry way off topic, some amazing reminiscences popping into my head. I will shut up now.

    in 63 drifts were recorded up to 20 ft. absolutly unbelievable. would the wind pick up and blow the snow off the ground and then into drifts, or would the snow just come from the sky and drift like that?
