The forecast for Feb is cold with winds that favour our region although I must say the charts are favouring south westerlies at the moment,that can change and just maybe it will then be our turn. These late cold spells (viz mid Feb to mid March can be very advantageous for those who like the white stuff).
Well yes and no,the longer term prospects have remained positive but member s must be suffering some sort of fatigue from hopes being unfulfilled.
i am due to come to Darlo this Saturday (weather permitting)! So if I see anyone on skis I will wave. Regards MIKE
It has been a long wait for snow this year,perhaps next week will see our fist snow cover. I would like to wish all members of this particular thread a very happy and white New Year.
Allright the weather is boring but we are still in mid winter and quite a bit of time remains for cold lovers to get their deserts but lets not get downhearted at the moment ,we go into the New Year tomorrow so a happy healthy one to you all with loads of the white stuff for those who yearn for it.
The winter of 2019 will go down as the coldest Jan and Feb for 100 years,March ,April and May as the wettest this century,thereafter it depends wether Mr Trump decides to blow us all up,hang on there is a pink elephant at the door.
It has been dull and overcast up to now after a brilliantly sunny day yesterday but only warm ot of the wind,today is distinctly chilly and I have my doubts as to any sunshine now,but lets hope.
Tell me about it John ,having lived either right on the coast in Sunderland or these days in Newcastle, a depressing easterly can last for days in spring with a cold wind and totally overcast skies and of course the wind accentuates the cold. Look west one can often see brightness towards the west and then hearing about the comparative warmth to the west only makes it worse.
As I look out of the window and see the snow bleaching down I takes me back to the famous winter of 47' . Truly memorable and I hope you guys do not have to wait so long for another beast. Perhaps the next one will be in midwinter and last for some time. Personally I am now ready for some southerly plumes.
