4 minutes ago, Gee said:I pretty much lurk and follow this thread through the year,have done for years and years, and enjoy the Banter, friendliness and fun it holds, but today it has felt a bit off.
Personally, Andy, I love your enthusiasm and hope. Don't change what you do. They always have the ignore button available.
In previous years when you have been quiet i have become quietly concerned for your whereabouts. Your very loud ramping, with a lot of hope and fairy dust, wishing for the white gold, is what keeps this thread alive at times. Granted I take a lot of what you say with a bucket of salt from the grit bins that are seldom used around here. I use what you say, along with Keith and the mad thread to read between the lines of the met office. If people take what you say as gospel then they need to look elsewhere. Obviously you, living in the mountains, will be very different to those in Swansea with their personal snow shield for example. Wales is quite a large country really, with a varied landscape.
Saying this, hoping to see a few flakes myself but then Winter can do one and the Spring sunshine can bring out the flowers and we can look forward to the weather of the BBQ. My Gas bill could do with a respite.
Good luck to all those that want to see some snow, and good luck to those that don't.
He’s the group lynchpin. Love his posts. We all get a bit frustrated at times because we’re all mad weather people.

But I've been told to stock up on supplies and get the 4x4 out!!
For the love of god, go buy all the milk and bread you can find man. You know you’ll regret it otherwise.
and….be careful what you get out in the snow. That’s risky business.

Looks like this particular SSW has reinvigorated the Atlantic
. Couldn’t make it up

Although there's some chance of the white stuff, it looks like there's more risk of grey, damp and cold weather. The worst type as far as i'm concerned. Especially in spring. Horrible.
I hope we (IMBY) dont get a repeat of March 2013, that one goes down as one of my least favourite months ever. 50 miles north had lots of snow, we just had freezing grey weather.

Thankyou, was hoping it was bringing more snow as the old saying goes,it’s hanging around for more!
Apparently around 1 in 4 SSW’s lead to cold conditions in the Uk. So i it’s not guaranteed but does increase chances

12 years ago today we had tons of snow.
I remember that. There was a bit of a dangler situation going on. Cardiff and Caerphilly had a proper dumping but we had very little just down the road in Cwmbran. I felt proper hard done by

Well, the red warning has now expired. While it hasn't been as bad here in the Valleys as I was fearing (shelter from all of the hills/mountains, I expect), I do think the red warning was fully justified considering some of the gusts (122 mph!) and damage we've seen elsewhere. The Met Office's hourly forecast now seems to be suggesting that the worst has passed here (Nelson), with a slow decline in gust speeds throughout the afternoon, but it'll still be very gusty in south Wales and with the worst still very much to come in the rest of southern Britain.
We are quite exposed here, we can see the Bristol channel. We had a few intense bursts. Still a bit wild.
we experienced several worse episodes during Winter 2013/14 and a few more since. Cheeky little storm though.

What's been notable for me this month is how nice all the Sundays have been, they've all been dry and mostly sunny which is impressive for November.
Another nice Sunday here. Must some kind of obscure record

not a good year for St. Swithin
I think August has become my least favourite month. It’s become reliably disappointing.
In the past 10 years I can think of dry spells that span all other months apart from August.

Just seen Met office update showing risk of freezing rain on Saturday. Now that would be a slap in the chops

If anyone remembers the big snowfall of 1982 I don't wasn't born, but here are the archive charts from wetterzentrale. In my village people lost their cars in the drifts and a local farmer even lost his tractor. But you can see how far the mild air has to penetrate the cold for good dumping. You can on this event it stalled and the cold air won. Ive attached how it all started on the 5th until the 8th the cold air won and headed back south.
I remember it, just. I was 3 at the time. My mother had to walk a mile home from the childminder carrying me and holding my 5 year old brothers hand. It was mid afternoon and she describes not being able to tell roads from pathways. It continued all day and night. By the morning there were huge drifts. We have plenty of photos, one showing only the bumper of our Vauxhall Chevette, the rest of it under a huge drift up to the garage roof. All the men folk in the street for together with sledges and walked to Ty-Coch dairy and returned with milk for the street. Amazing!
