Isolated Frost

Yep. At 9dgC at about 10pm, it felt like 5dgC. Really nice. Really refreshing.

I can see a few posts being banned when the mods visit this thread. Everyone sshhh... act nicely

Knee deep in powdery snow, drinking hot chocolate at sunset.

Ah... sorry anyway. My LRF predicts colder weather, with the worst outbursts throughout eastern parts of England and northwestern parts of Scotland. Just my opinion though...

Hope I didn't appear rude!

Tis' fine! It's true. I'd definitely get bored of them. You just can't tell. Just the way the wind blows... Who are they?

We can't tell what the UK will be yet, never mind the South East itself. I mean, looking at one of the anomaly charts for December, a strong easterly-dominated month looks likely, however we don't know yet. Kent itself is well placed for some easterlies. You might want to talk to TWS and GP about it.

If a cold wind blows, could be cold. If a warm wind does, could be warm. Expert analysis.

I don't know if I've already done this... but it seems I may have a new one! 0000 - Scattered Clouds (-1C) 0300 - Clear (-4C) 0600 - Clear (-7C) 0900 - Scattered Clouds (-6C) 1200 - Scattered Clouds (-4C) 1500 - Mostly Cloudy (-5C) 1800 - Light Snow (-5C) 2100 - Snow Showers (-6C) 0000 - Heavy Snow Showers (-6C) Strong northeasterly throughout. Dew point below -5C at all times.

Where's that?

I've got myself a WMR80 from Oregon Scientific; works a treat. Only £100!

Ooooo... yes please! Regarding snowfall, when I go down a few miles into Stanley and Consett, there are massive amounts of snow, if I get hit by an inch, they get hit by 3!

Really? You could always tell us what you think, and what would be your perfect climate! I agree; we here in NE England have brilliant amounts of snowfall, when others don't!

Much cooler December, seems good. Not much into it yet though...

Ah... right, I know where that is. Take half a degree off in the North East, thanks.

Are you sure it's released today?

LOL. Eeesh... If they say an early winter, with record cold and snow in November and December, I would jump around every single spot in Durham. I don't care if January and February are 15C and scorching. I just want the time between early November and Late December to be Cold and Snowy. I don't like late Winter, just early Winter. ~ Random Rant Over...

May sound a bit stupid, but who will be making this forecast...?

In snow, yes. On Ice, it seems much more varied with most sides of the arctic seeing Ice cover. Western Siberia and the Himalayas have a lot more, Eastern Canada, Alaska and Iceland have considerably less aswell.

Been scanning around 200 full pages of the Regional North East Cold Spell discussion from the most recent winter. Honestly, I should on NetWeather ages ago. It has just wet my appetite for snow. Alot of snow. Loadsa of snow. If it's as good as last year, I'll have 5 paragraphs of excitement every single post. Now, I'm just waiting for the stuff...

Incredible, for September at the Gorms'! Hopefully a sign of a nice early winter...

Hehe. Okay. Where in Teesdale do you live, I can't imagine I live more than half an hour from you.

I've never been prouder to be a Durham Citizen Now to google search 'Nenethead'...

Dream winter scenario: December 19: Easterly from Russia moves inland... December 20: Finland, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic get hit with up to 150cm in places, with record falls throughout Central Europe. December 21: Cold bands of air left behind give record low temperatures for them nations aswell! Southern Sweden, Denmark and the Low Countries get smashed by heavy snowfall. December 22: Severe cold temperatures throughout Mainland Europe, Northern France gets hit aswell, Norway smashed by more record snowfall. December 23: High pressure moves into Britain, and leaves record low temperatures, -30C in Tulloch Bridge and at Ptarmigan, on CairngormMtn. Cold continues with -50C in some parts of Central Norway, along with record French snowfall. December 24: High pressure splits across the UK and finally gives our first snow of the season! Heaviest in Central, Northern and Eastern Parts. With Shap getting 2.5m in 12 hours and Leeds getting 1.1m, London gets over half a metre, and the coldest, snowiest winter storm ever is recorded. December 25: Low pressure moves across to Ireland, and gives most of Ireland, morning snow, as the UK and Ireland wake up to Christmas with a Winter Wonderland. Oh... and make the rest of the winter as mild as you want! Not too much too ask, is it? Oh, and one last thing, when referring to this, please call it 'Beasterly'. Thanks.

9.8 for me thanks.
