ok, just to lighten the mood a little, probably won't happen but.......
UKMO charts for thursday and friday.....
even if you don't understand the charts, they are what they look like.........
Don't worry, it's all in hand, I gave a very thorough and in-depth explanation of the dark blue blob and ominous purple blob earlier in this thread. ;-)
-
It's looking like the radar showing the blob in the north sea could be mainly virga....see it loads here in winter
Wow, was just reading through your signature, some really impressive stats. Seems so funny we are all talking about the hope of 2-5cms up against that snowstorm of yours... 27inches in 24hrs. It must have been incredible and even scary!
-
Thats a great way of putting it,shame you could not post it in the mod thread it might have lightened the mood
Hmmm, could you even begin to imagine the tongue lashing I'd get? I like to keep things simple, all this ecm, ukmo, gfs can get a bit mind blowing, so for me.... It's hope, calm and blobs! ;-)
-
Wow, jubilation in the mod thread. Apparently in five days we have some dark blue blob over us with a deep purple blob to the left, this I believe, in my most expert opinion is very good news. So we can all look forward to 48 foot of snow in a few days after all.

Hmmm, well I just bought a sledge and I've had a bet with my brother - if it snows, he does my garden for a month in spring, if it doesn't, I cook him a lamb roast next sunday.
I've gotta say, the sheer pleasure of handing him the keys to the garden shed and the absolute smugness it will bring is what I'm hoping for (that and the pleasure of loving the snow)..... But on a positive note, I do cook a damn mean roast...

I had worked it out as a wee nip of scotch every metre, but on the trial run this evening I had drunk the whole 70cl by the time I'd reached the Post Box at the end of my road. I then spent an hour chatting to the Post Box before realising it was a Post Box. So I am now reviewing my plan.
But you still have the ability to type.... Legend ;-)

I have to go on a journey from the road I live in to the road 20 metres away on Monday. I'm wondering if the extreme weather might hinder my journey. This will be from North Lowestoft, to another road in North Lowestoft. I will obviously pack the essentials for the trip: Ice pick, Shovel, Sleeping Bag, Scotch, Extra Cigarettes. Do any of the more knowledgeable weather enthusiasts think I should not attempt such a perilous undertaking?
I think you have all eventualities covered there, just make sure it's a 70cl bottle, you don't want half measures on such an epic journey!

I look forward to seeing the before and after photo's of your garden, Nikki!
Lol..... I look forward to posting them, but mostly I shall look forward to FINALLY getting one up on him!
I shall be radar and lamp post watching with it all to play for this time!

My brother is a teacher and I mentioned in passing that he could well be in for a couple of days off with school closures next week (he's currently teaching near hassocks) . What started as a mere observation has ended in him swearing it won't snow and promising to do my garden for a month in summer if it does. On the flip side, if it doesn't snow enough for a snow day, I have to cook him a roast next sunday. He's so confident, he's already requested lamb!!
I really hope I get to (smugly) hand over the keys to the garden shed instead!

For anyone posting from their phones, if you scroll right to the bottom of the forum page, you should see a link for full site. This will bring the site up as you would see it on your computer screens. This will enable you to see locations and signatures. Just thought I'd mention it as I've just discovered it myself and I know some folks can't see the location in the signatures from their mobiles.

Ah,so the pinky stuff=snow? Darker being more heavy?
Yes, it's quite exciting when you watch it heading towards you on the radar.
-
Looking forward to a few snow days this week so bought a months radar sub in preparation! Question tho,how do you differentiate from snow/rain ect?
On the right hand side you can turn weather detection on. Snow shows as pink.

Thanks very much, very informative.
Hi Nikki,
Here is a link to a good video from Peter Gibbs that explains how stratospheric warming affects the polar vortex in laymans terms
-
Thanks for explaining that, it certainly helps when you are trying to keep up with some of the more technical posts. :-)
-
In very basic terms, what does it mean when the polar vortex collapses? I've seen this mentioned lots of times.
-
Thanks guys, really appreciate your feedback. I'm getting it now!

Hi all, wonder if you can help. I had the NW radar the last couple of years which was brilliant, however my laptop has up and died (at the most inopportune snowfest moment) and I'm wondering how it fairs on a smartphone? Happy to pay for the radar again if someone can confirm it works well on a phone (Samsung galaxy s3,if that makes a diff).
I shall of course be glued to lamp post watching too :-)
And as I'm generally an observer rather than a poster, can I also take this opportunity to say thanks for all the great posts and info from you guys.
