  1. A decent covering of snow on the tops above Hebden Bridge following a couple of days of wintry showers. Sledging tomorrow it is then!
  2. GEM seems to be the only model going for height rises to our north in FI tonight, looks nice, with GFS considering it for a short while. Lets hope the GEM has suddenly taken up a role as super model extraordinaire, blitzing the others into a frozen submission....
  3. Sorry Chionomaniac, whilst things are quiet, and if you have time, is there any chance you could put some of your posts into lay person speak, just so we can get a handle on what people are hoping for and what in your opinion might be spoilers? I understand the depth of atmosphere etc. but not quite how this relates to nest weekend and what might or might not happen.... Think of higher GCSE or lower A level meteorology terms
  4. A slightly, urm, different look at the same; https://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=2366&category=Environment (Don't shoot the messenger
  5. I usually enjoy watching these events unfold too however that's quite often making landfall over a rich country in the USA. Even Cuba etc. are well drilled in storm protection. What's concerning at the moment is the impact of this storm on a poorer country with poverty stricken residents without access to the latest shelters, storm proof buildings, medical care etc. It could be catastrophic for some in this instance.
  6. The models seem to have come to a 'litmus test' point of autumn, in that it's been so benign and now the first signs of a change to some 'back endish' weather are appearing in the middle distance. The 06z certainly looked to be heading the way of the coldies as opposed to the 00z which looked to be flat and modern winterish . I realise that patterns shift over autumn/winter but it feels like we are about to get the first real indicator of what all the related factors (El nino, solar decline, cold Atlantic etc) will deliver when added together in the real world; flat muck or meridional mix
  7. Hi, I saw a spectacular green fireball last night. About 1.29am to the west of Hebden Bridge. I thought it was a firework at first it was so bright in the night sky. Lasted a few seconds before fading. I went on twitter and found several other people who saw it from as far apart as Manchester, Warrington and Belfast. Also got reports of sightings around the same time from Argentina and the US but I imagine they were seperate incidents. NASA had said there was a very large asteroid passing earth yesterday so one has to wonder if smaller 'lumps' travel along with these big ones. It was the most amazing celestial experience of my life! Anyone else see it?
  8. Seems to be a little milder air into Aviemore and the north of Scotland at 18.00 with showers turning to rain 'allegedly'
  9. Good evening Pop Pickers. Looks like there 'could' be a more organised band of showers developing over the Scottish central belt on the most recent radar. Might be worth keeping an eye on if it develops further eh? Interesting to read what robbo88 says about bands of showers too, could be promising for a further dusting perhaps? OOps, soz, just noticed WH's post. Ditto.
  10. Hmmmm.... I had hoped the ECM would have been more bullish in supporting a scandi HP tonight as most of the other models have tended this way, even including the half decent looking UKMET after its earlier 'mid Atlantic blob' approach however from a cold perspective I'm a little disappointed with it , so yes, beer is definitely the order of the day Mind you, it looks a colder solution when compared to the ECM 00 offering
  11. you can see the troughs on the infra red out to sea and in lee of high ground on here. The showers pep up when the air meets coasts or hills etc. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observation/map/#?map=SatelliteIRAndRADAR&zoom=6&lon=-3.16&lat=54.08&fcTime=1421406900
  12. It does look like a trough starting to push in from the Irish sea now. Might be slightly warmer around it but if you had snow today i'd say you will end up with a dusting by morning, even if it does turn to rain for a while..... Has the wind swung more westerly than northwesterly and picked up a little anywhere? what was it earlier?
  13. Ey up y'all. Been watching the showers come in off the Irish sea all eve, without a great deal of luck here. However, i notice that the wind is starting to veer back to a west of northwest flow just now. I think this might be a sign of a trough coming through the Irish sea and onshore in the next hour or two. Could be wrong but i noticed EURO4 thinks we should see some troughing by 6 am so perhaps theres hope of some snow in the next few hours?
  14. Nice one chaps. great to see some respect in here. Having watched the charts for week after week of mush i do feel that something a little special may happen before month out. from memory, once toppler after toppler sets up it only takes a short while for one of them to topple into scandi and away we go. Anyways..... I would just urge members to watch the dark colors lift out of Greenland and Eastern US and not focus too much on MJO, AO, NAO etc, etc. Just enjoy it and listen to the experts input for guidance. Paul, please remove my badge of honor, after eight years or so, it seems excessive, as it was my little boy who opened a second account,. Thanks
  15. From the album: Those wer't days... Spring 2013

    Main road to Keighley....
