Happy New Year to you all Enjoy Autumn for the next couple of weeks, it beats scraping the windscreen like I had to for most of this week! -

The only SSW we'll be getting is a South South Westerly! Atlantic inbound ;-) tbh, I like the snow as the next coldie. However after scraping the thick frost from the car again this morning and having that cold burning sensation on my hands reminded me how much I look forward to the Spring :-O -

Another to add to the cliche bucket, still lots to play for. Listen, I'd love to see an almighty dumping of snow. Who knows if it will or won't! Although I fully respect those that have meteorological knowledge and put out forecasts, it is all based on models. Models are run by computers. We program computers and all they do is use extrapolation algorithms to produce charts for interpretation. Now if we are honest, due to geographical location and land make ups, do we rarely see correct forecasts past a few days out. I'm now a little tired of cliches and we will see changes in Nov, mid Dec, then Christmas and now the New Year. Sorry! -
Wasn't mid December touted as a point at which to see more "seasonal" conditions? Sent on my Android tab on 18th December (which also shows 13oC @ 0708UTC)!

So far, winter 2013/14 vs. 2014/15 winners: Snow: 2013/14 Frost: 2014/15 I love the snow when it first arrives and for a day or so ........ certainly not fussed with the slush/thaw! -
Have you turned your heating on yet ?
> mark replied to stewfox's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Yep ...... now on this week! The difference between 23oC at the weekend and a couple of nights of frost this week has done it for me. -
I'm liking the observation ....... lovely dog btw I'm hoping for the cold (and hopefully snow) for Dec/Jan and then sudden warming/spring in Feb :-D

I did have it on the twice this week ...... firstly when the new thermostat system was installed and secondly when a couple of radiators were installed. I'm thinking however that it may go on soon IF the temps get any lower but it seems as though it will remain pretty mild ...... an indication of our coming winter perhaps :-O -
As soon as the clocks go back I long for March again, light evenings are lovely whatever the weather.

Not a chance ....... not yet anyway. It's been windows open for the whole of September but it sounds like I may have to "put them on the latch" this weekend -

Windows open tonight again, sun was very warm today :-) -
Models beyond 24-48hrs ....... meh! My hopes are for moderate to heavy snow, sun and crisp days ........ no constant dreariness/mist and no repeat of last year thank you very much!

Holy s*** ....... also made me laugh -
Very true. I'm glad some folks got something last night but there is no way it was anything like Thursday night. I'd like to see the stats for observed strikes.I think the Meto Orange warning killed any hopes of the super storms lol

Been at Farnborough today, wow was it hot sat near the runway all day! The storms we had last night were awesome, probably the best I've ever seen and they were not really forecast. I'm hoping something kicks off again tonight, need to clear this air! Might have to stay up for a while and see what develops, Rambo First Blood is on so a beer could be in order too ........ :-)

All I can say is wow, was woken up by torrential rain and severe thunderstorm. I don't honestly think I've see so much Lightning ever or as frequent!! Quite surreal now, moon starting to show and distant forks/flashes and all burglar alarms now silent after power cuts.
