Guys have you not sussed this one out yet? There are only so many weather statiosn recording the weather by the meto... take the Skye Lusa site, if youplum for Portree and its dry buy Cullins get rain you win, supposedly... however they cut and shut sqaures. Its the biggests marketing con going. The tattie harvet was rubbish this year doe to a very wet summer and that crisps are poor quality... they are alot more expensive than the mutlipacks and yes they will make you fat, so fat your not going to be able to get out your seats to cash the cheque!
The good news is that its been not a bad october here because of it.. thanks guys!
PS you wont have any luck here today either as although its raining its less than 3mm

Just out of curiosity is anyone still wagering that it will be a mild winter?
-

Ive got more where they came from.
Perhaps one of the mods could be so good as to move the thread to the other more pernament thread, I didnt realise this one was pruned after a while

Id just like to share some of my favourite photos I have taken with my rather inexpensive camera. It done me proud over the last three years and owes me nothing. I love sunsets and sunrises and many are taken from the bottom of the croft.
So please enjoy, when Skye is beautiful it is heaven on Earth.

They will have snoops on the weather forum, that I have no doubt. lol

I get a feeling we will see lots of snow this winter. Last winter was really dry and very cold, we didnt see alot of snow at all, just really really hard frosts. So here is hoping this year I can ramp away till my little heart is content.
-
Ok your on!
I do wish the regional forums would open up... Ok moderating them all isnt an option but at least open the scottish one, it is actually snowing here!

I recall 1993/94 being a very unsettled winter, with frequent westerly winds in December & January (December was often cold and snowy in the Midlands and north, generally mild in the south, then January was a bit milder in the north) and then the westerlies fizzled out towards mid-February, replaced by easterlies and widespread snowfalls.
My memory is really good when it comes to dates and things. I remember autumn 1993 really well because I was a student at Stirling Uni. I have had a look and according to the meto they bring up autumn 1993 as a very cold un. It might have been wet and mild in the south but it wasnt up here, we had regular snowfall, almost up until christmas. Freezing fog.
The meto have brought up this phrase coldest autumn since 1993 in one of there tables, Im sure the CET was well down as well that year. Flooding happened because of freak rainfall events rather than unsettled weather patterns.

lol Paul, why do I get the feeling that the press has been fishing for information and then coming up with your name!
Lets face it it could have been any one of us.. I predicted a cold winter last september on met monkey! lol:whistling:

I also agree with what Kevin has said. That bit about blizzards. I have only ever experienced one true Blizzard and that was in January 1984 where winds swept in at 60mph and it snowed continuously for 12 hours. Blizzards do not happen that often and certainly did not happen last year as there was no wind. Heavy snow with no wind is a white out and yes we have had dozens of those.
Anyway, I still think The Net weather Forecast is right, it explains that lack of energy that seems to be evident in the atlantic.
Cold cold cold, dry and settled.... look to the winter of 1993/94, if you want a comparison. That was very cold and dry and december was snowy.
-
No it was during the summer LOTS
Good to see a familiar face about these parts
Good to see you on here too.
Enjoy the possibilty of wintry stuff later on today, its already started here.
Nice shots.
I must say, if anyone likes scenic areas then Donegal is breathtaking, seen it once, would definitely go again.
Can I ask you a question TW? What is SACRA? And yes one part of the British Isles that is on my to see and do list. I want to ride a connemara pony along one of there golden beaches.

Nice storm clouds IS, is that whats happening right now?

Ive just been looking at the table of moderate La Nina events
1983-84 was one fo the biggest blizzards to ever hit the north, electricty of for days, 80mph Nly winds, winter started early December brief mild spell christmas and then came January and it was bloomin terriifying.
So roll on the La Nina!
Mt Data please take a look at the synopics week commencing the 1st of January 1984, and see what happened. It was the best blizzard I have ever lived through.
