Winter 2022/23 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
saintkip replied to cyclonic happiness's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
The worst posters are the I told you so lot. It’s very easy to predict the weather in winter just say mild and wet and you’ve got a 95% chance of being correct. -

I had 4 days straight where the temperature didn’t get above 0 that is a proper cold spell for here but not one flake of snow which made it all very dull -

The final short term downgrade to no snow has happened, gone from possibly 20cm to completely dry and people saying upgrade, it’s not really, most people want snow not frost. -

Cold and dry, already had a spell like that and it was pointless, I’d rather a couple of days of snow then warm -

Model Output Discussion - the cold has arrived
saintkip replied to Community Team's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
They are hopeless, for some reason people hang on there every word as if it’s gospel. They change as often as the models. Best prediction for UK winter especially the South is mild and wet. -

They’re a waste of time, just change with each model run -

That would be a dreadful way to end the cold spell, not even a snow to rain breakdown. A week of harsh frosts which for my job is a nightmare. -

Does this mean we don’t want cold now? If it does I’m not sure we can do anything about it. -

Winter 2022-23 early thoughts - general chat
saintkip replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Since 2009 I’ve had numerous big snow events here, before that you’d have to go back to the mid 90’s for anything interesting. I know the world is warming but every time I see a scientific report on no snow or higher temps in the near future the graphs go off the scale after about 10 years instead of a steady decrease/increase. -
What Did You Think of Summer 2022?

It was the hot too hot but I’m now missing it as I come to terms with 6 months of working outside in the cold -
Have you turned your heating on yet?
saintkip replied to stewfox's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Had the log burner on last night, lovely I’m gonna try and only use that this winter my wife and kids will hate it as they hate getting in cold beds but I find nothing better. Snuggle up -
Off to Cyprus on Friday to escape the heat, just 6 degrees cooler than Basingstoke.
