  1. I really want to nail this supposed coldie attitude I have, all I want i a spell of settled weather, ok it's cold but it's dry and sunny and with a stronger sun it's good for evaporating a lot of the surface water we had to contend with for the entire winter due the washout of last year. But it's still precarious and one above average month for rainfall could have areas like the south west back in serious trouble.

    must be avoided especially as they can continue to crop up over and over again.

    I wouldn't let it bother you the Milldies will soon be crying in their milk when we have days of endless wind, rain and mild, Lol

  2. The latest met office update still retains elements of wintry weather in the outlook but the main cold spell is heading for the exit this weekend, the ecm 12z last night has been the trend setter for today's model output so far since the ecm was quickest to end the cold spell. However, although we will be entering a milder regime next week, there will be colder intervals embedded within the more springlike pattern with polar maritime incursions bringing wintry showers at times to northern hills with snow on the higher hills and mountains of northern britain next week, especially early in the week and then beyond midweek, if I had to pick a particularly mild day next week I think it would have to be tuesday as the uk will probably be sandwiched within the warm sector of a depression in that timeframe with temps dipping somewhat beyond then but the backbone of this epic cold spell will be well and truly broken by sunday/monday.

    All good things must come to an end Frosty, it's been a remarkable month and one which I'll never forget. Roll on winter!!
  3. Down here in Wrexham in the hospital I'm under care at, there are a axing scenes for this time of year. There is at least a foot of lying snow with no thawing taking place whatsoever. The beginning of the snow line was also remarkable, from nothing to a foot within the space of a few yards, amazing.

  4. He's the chief scientific advisor. His qualifications and research areas are in economics, population biology and sustainable energy. Seems very much suited to the job I think.

    Not that the UK government listen to their scientific advisers much. Didn't they fire the chief drug advisor when they didn't like his advice on drugs, particularly cannabis!?

    He's not an expert in climatology though is he.
  5. Exactly RP. It's amazing (indeed scary) how little our decision makers know about fracking and its consequences. I heard a local Lancashire MP mention the prospect of our county having in the future a landscape of "nodding donkeys'.

    It's only when people make an effort to investigate, that the real horror and indeed the leg pull of this industry hits them. And of course its serious impact on climate change seems to be nobody's business. .The industry is dangled as a cure for all our problems by various commentators -- comments slipped in here and there. Alas the Beeb has always to present "balance". which means irresponsible and uninformed people get air time.

    Apart from nuclear it's the only viable solution at this moment in time, no one in their right mind can surely think that wind power is the way forward, or can they.
  6. Like having a 'degree', part of it's use is to show that you are asble to read a subject to a certain level. Many folk use their degree merely to show this ability and not to secure work in their chosen field of study.

    When folk are appointed to overview climate science (over many discaplines) the ability to read ,absorb and regurgitate the relevant pieces in a coherant way is more useful than being close up and personal in one area of science?

    May folk posting in the blog/forum world are 'self taught' but this does not detract from, thier obviuos ability to absorb the science and make sense of where the findings will take us?

    On the other hand folk who have decided, prior to reading new data, what their views are lead us to the Monkton/Watts type blinkered disinformation?

    With all due respect I could have a degree in flower arranging but would that make me capable of advising government policy on fiscal matters?
  7. Personally I'm enjoying this cold spell but what worries me is when we see a change to the upstream pattern, will it be replaced with a dry and warm high or something far more unsettled which could end up eating away a large chunk of the Summer as well. These patterns over the last few years tend to become blocked for 2-3 months, so any change in the longwave pattern that follows will probably stick around for some time, fingers crossed it's the dry and warm high we see.

  8. Although I'm not a big believer in religion, I never discount anything, as in that man thinks he has all the answers something always comes back to bite him in the ass.. An open mind too all things is required, the trouble is too many are closed minded.

  9. If you look at the height anomalies for the NH you can see there's been a complete reversal.

    I think we only need to look above for the answers CC, as in that big shiny ball of fire that we are barely getting to grips with now. Regarding the -PDO, this also is a big player and since it turned into it's negative phase in 2007 we can only expect a cooling net effect over the coming years. A correlation between the PDO and solar activity and it's overall effect on global temps is the key for me.
