Some snow mixed in the rain just starting here. Snowing now First snow of the Winter

He said his updated forecast is based on S Type Solar activity.

Thats what i thought.... Anyway Its showing a Dew point of -3.3 now with a Temp of 1,4 now. Must of been a clinch with my tackle...

1.9C here now, very light snizzel just started. With -2.9 windchill and a Dewpoint of -7.2.

I thought it was News 24 at first. So his updated Forecast for December is based on a Solar Flare.

A very wintery week overall. Tonight and tomorrow the snow showers will realy pep up. Im expecting a nice covering here, Then a reload towards the end of the week which should produce better chances of low lying snow for N/England. Scotland is going to get a massive dumping Thur/Fri. I wonder if this is the Polar Low that Steve Murr was talking about the other day?

3.4C here at the moment, with a Dew point of -8.5 and a -1.2 Windchill from the N/W.

Hopefully some of the white stuff will turn up here later today/tonight. Will be keeping a close eye on the radar http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ , its going to be an interesting week ahead. And a nice start to Winter proper.

I have spent many a day up in the hill's, i do remember one day last year i set off from the North Face car park under Ben Nevis around 3am for a long slog up the Carn Mor Dearg Arete. As i hit the ridge the sun was just peaking up over the Grey Corries, there was fresh snowfall overnight and no wind at all which was welcome. I looked down at my feet and saw some large prints in the snow, larger than a fox or wild cat. The prints actualy followed the ridge line, anyway as i looked infront of me i noticed in the distance a large Brown/Black cat running down the slopes, It was larger than a fox and so were the prints i found. It was also only just getting light, It was without doubt some sort of big cat.

SHIVERING HALT TO MILD DAYS Local authorities and transport chiefs came under fire during last year’s big freeze Saturday December 3,2011 By Nathan Rao Have your say(1) BLIZZARDS and sub-zero temperatures will bring a shivering end to the recent mild weather as winter roars in with a vengeance next week. The first real signs of widespread winter chill are due to arrive tomorrow with temperatures falling below freezing overnight into Monday. England had its first snowfall of the winter yesterday as blizzards hit the Tyne Valley and north Pennines. The heavy snow and strong winds lasted around an hour and forecasters warned the rest of the UK to brace itself for snow next week. Temperatures fell to minus 2C in the North-east on Thursday night with most of the region waking up yesterday morning to frost and ice. Forecasters say next week the mercury could sink to a teeth-chattering minus 7C in parts, with bitterly cold winds making it feel more like minus 12C. They warn heavy and widespread snow will fall in Scotland and the North with most of the UK at risk of a “moderate†dusting. Temperatures fell to minus 2C in the North-east on Thursday night Frost and ice threaten to make driving conditions treacherous and bring possible disruption on transport networks. The Met Office yesterday issued severe weather warnings for snow in Scotland for Monday and Tuesday and warned of “below average†temperatures. Jonathan Powell, senior forecaster for Positive Weather Solutions, said: “Winter certainly is going to kick in next week. Then we are in for a bumpy ride with some widespread snow in Scotland and the chance of snowfall further south. “It is going to be a real shock to the system in terms of temperatures, especially on Monday morning when there will be widespread frost and ice.†The warnings came as highways chiefs declared they were confident they were fully prepared to deal with a severe winter this year with extra salt stocks and new gritters on standby

Well done NW.TV. The most detailed and fully explained Winter forecast available.

Very good detailed forcast. I thought it was Bear Grills at first glance

I agree. But it will be the weather thats wrong through, Not his Forecast.....

1C here, nice deep clear night. Im expecting -4 tops here in this location.

I used to be the river keeper on Haddon Estate when Lord John was alive, I do know that this year was the 4th dryiest on record in the Lathkill catchment area, the River Lathkill leaks into Hillcar sough opposite Shining Bank Quary, and ends up running into the River Derwent 4 miles away. Also a sewer pipe runs down the side of the Bradford and Lathkill, when they were laying the pipe in the limestone bed they used small explosives, the water leaks out and follows the pipeline to Hillcar souph also.

Correct. It will be interesting what the charts have to offer as we move closer to winter. They are only JUST starting to pick up early signals now, Which is normal

I have been working at Flash (Highest Village in the British Isles) for 2 weeks. All i can see is white fog and very dense too, at least when i get home after work i can see 20 yards...... But its dark then.

Just been out with the mutt, very nippy tonight. -1C down in the valley

For those who think this current mild weather is some indicator we are in for a similar theme this winter read this article. http://www.wiseweath...o.uk/id135.html Scroll down to November 4th 2010, a year ago today, one of the warmest November nights for 40 years.

I can remember the discussion on model bias last year to, im shure the conclusion was that yes the Models did'nt know what to make of the pattern change and wobbled a bit which is normal.

Wet, Overcast. SSW 12MPH 13.2C A Low of 11.8 last night V. Mild.

Yes. thanks LL for posting the link. Sorry for the lack of info on this, and bad judgment of time. I only got a snippit myself, yes as JH says its the first time i have heard them talk about sunspots.

It could be, it was 8 8.15 when i heard it on radio 4.
