    Nice little wet snow/hail shower just blew through. Must have enough of an easterly component in the wind direction to bring them over the Pennines. Reminds me how exciting ‘wintry’ showers can be away from South London. Look forward to climbing up to 1000 ft this afternoon to collect my girl from school. Bring it on, I say :D

    Hello all (And It's been a while)

    I believe that is worth noting that when people compare this storm to Katrina, the people in the path of Katrina (on the whole) wee much poorer. Thus these people would have had fewer choices with regards to their safety and 'escape' routs.

    I have seen numbers of deaths figures banded about but for the reasons described I believe these will be many fewer (per capita) for obvious reasons....

    The people here (on the whole) have greater choices!

    Winter 2007/08 rumblings from Bill Giles and the ECPC (NOAA)

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Agreed - but remember he forecast a winter "comparable" to 1962/63 last year - and it was (well, obviously) wrong. :lol:

    Roeder does this too much so I tend to *generally* take in but ultimately ignore his forecasts.

    I think you will find that it was a typo Damien and what he meant to say was actually ‘winter 2007/08’ :) Anyway…. nice to see a few familiar faces on here as we steam headlong into winter without so much as an Autumn :)

    Met Office winter NAO forecast...

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Indeed!

    I had expected them to go for a more negative value than they have but they have given an error range of 1 either way so they could get it wrong.

    IMO, they are playing it safe. Also, I don't understand how they can still predict a weakly negative NAO signal and yet still predict above average temperatures.

    I would imagine that they get the above average temps from the fact that nearly every month at the moment is well above average - they couldnt forecast on SST's alone...

    I work for a not-for-profit company who develop and implement environmental projects. I run an Installer Group carrying out installations of insulation and energy efficient heating systems and i also manage a national boiler scheme allowing people to access reduced prices for A rated boilers, solar hot water equipment, heating controls etc.

    Please have a look and see if we can help! - http://www.energy-smart.org.uk

    METO UK Further Outlook

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    METO hinting at Scandi potential perhaps :drinks:

    UK Outlook for Saturday 17 Feb 2007 to Monday 26 Feb 2007:

    A rather unsettled picture is likely to prevail, although with some interludes of clearer weather bringing sunny intervals and showers (the latter especially in the north and west). One of these brighter interludes looks likely to cross the UK through next weekend, although the clearer skies at night could also lead to patchy frost. Early next week, though, further spells of wet, windy and generally mild weather are likely to cross much of the UK. This unsettled theme looks like persisting through the rest of the period but with temperature levels become rather more problematical. Probably staying mild for the most part, especially towards the southwest but there is a risk of the weather turning colder again, with a risk of frost and snowfall, especially in the north and east.

    Could do owt really then :D

    'unsettled picture with clearer weather bringing sunny intervals and patchy frost but spells of wet, windy and generally mild weather although Probably staying mild with a risk of frost and snowfall likely to cross much of the UK especially in the north and east apart from the latter turning colder again especially in the north and west'.

    Why do they bother?
