    Woke up to about 0.5cm at 300m on the Derbyshire/Staffordshire from moderate snow showers during the morning, but it had mostly melted by late afternoon.
  2. Harve
    In Derbyshire, and showers rattling through here, but nothing has settled and it's the same story on the webcams at 500m...

    I'm surprised Inverness isn't sunnier than Aberdeen - the former seems quite sheltered.
  4. Harve
    As if any of the sub-2c predictions have science behind them too...?
  5. Harve
    The last webcam is from December the 3rd - the webcams seem to be failing across the board, I guess because of the weather?

    There's only been two moderate snow showers in Glasgow with nothing settling - pretty awful. On the other hand, I'm going back to Derbyshire for Christmas, where snow has laid twice this month (and maybe once in November?) although never for more than 24 hours at a time. It's not much but it's something to savour.

    Lying snow on my Facebook feed and on webcams in the west of Derbyshire:

    http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Nevis-Range/6day/top I reckon it'll be too windy for any pleasant skiing in the next few days, but at least the west looks to get some pretty heavy snowfall.

    2011 was quite mild, but its first two thirds were quite wintry on high ground in the Peak District with 12+ days of transient snowfall and temporary accumulations. 2013 on the other hand has been awful.

    http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~brugge/CURR.html Mean temperatures have been up to 4.8c above average (in Altnaharra) for the month so far. This is almost as warm as December 2010 was cold. At 8.8c, West Freugh in Galloway and Aultbea in Wester Ross looks to be one of warmest places on the island of Great Britain, warmer than even the far south-west of England.

    Vostok isn't at sea level - it's at 3488m. I think the issue was that it was a temperature recorded via satellite and is as such disputable. Satellites have also recorded completely-discounted 70c temperatures in Iran, for example.
  12. Harve
    The highest December minimum temperature is 12.5c, so Aultbea's 12.1c comes close to breaking the record. Kinloss was at 14.3c at 4am last night. Even for mid-summer, that's not too bad a night time temperature (4c above the July average minimum)...
  13. Harve
    Seems like the lowest temperature in Scotland yesterday was 8.2c in the Borders. Many places stayed above 10c all day long.

    http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Cairngorm/6day/top There's definitely not gonna be any skiing anytime soon...

    Hafísjaðar means sea+ice+border, and the dashed line is an approximate of it. (ð is not just an accent on a letter - it's a separate letter entirely to d and represents the English 'th' sound)

    I'm normally pretty restrained when it comes to ramping, but seeing a sub-zero day possible within 5 days is a trigger to get me hyped...
  17. Harve
    Given December's only just started and a warm summer/autumn has meant warm seas, coupled with freezing uppers, surely this is one of the best times for snowmageddon for those in the line of convection?
  18. Harve
    You are posting actual temperature maps. All that the differences between the first and the second maps show are that early-mid December tends to be cooler than the end of November. This has nothing to do with climate change in either direction. The anomaly map shows that the warm generally outweighs the cold.
  19. Harve
    Barely any pixels in Greece or Turkey! It's mainly Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia.Sorry for the geography lesson but I couldn't resist.
  20. Harve
    It's been a pretty poor day and if it continues like that for days on end, as it easily can do, then it's my least favourite type of weather. On the other hand, remove the cloud and you've got cool, crisp sunshine, like on Friday or Saturday, and it's perfect.A damp 0c in Scotland, on dreich days like these, honestly feels colder than -10c in dry weather on the continent.
  21. Harve
    3.6c. Something similar to 2008, perhaps. I'm also hoping for December 2011-like transient snowfall in cylonic periods, which can be quite good for northern high ground, in the absence of any significant blocking.
  22. Harve
    Nah. Can you see Belgium from the Essex coast? They're similar distances, and ice is on the water's surface rather than being a landmass, so even less visible. And it's not an ice bridge forming there, as in the ice originates from that area, but rather it's rather flowing south from cooler seas and then melting. That's one reason why it won't make any significant progress. Sorry to be a party pooper!
  23. Harve
    It comes relatively close every year, but I don't think there's been a bridge for over 40 years.
  24. Harve
    Settling snow on my Facebook feed across Derbyshire.
  25. Harve
    Coming from 300m+ up in the Peak District, it's normally everyone else getting rain and me getting snow rather than the other way round! Sometimes I hate sea level and the city centre...
