What were you expecting - mystic Meg?? B)

Thank you Andy - have you put yours up yet? Looking forward to seeing it.

Here it is the moment you all have been waiting for with bated breath - my lrf based on absolutely nothing but intuition! Firstly, don’t get too carried away by the fact that it’s been colder and snowier this October and November than it has for very many years. It’s not a sign for the rest of the winter. I feel generally the weather will remain cold with the potential for snowfall up until about mid-December – most of the potential will come in short bursts rather like this weekend. Sorry, but no major UK-wide snowfall anywhere on the cards. Snow will be reserved for the north and high ground. After mid-December we are due a change back to the milder, westerlies, a couple of windstorms before Christmas mostly affecting the north and west but for the rest of the country mild and relatively dry. This will take us through the Christmas period. Early January it is possible to see much colder weather but of the dry, sunny by day and frosty by night type of cold. Could see some very low overnight minima during this period. Mid to late January will then see a swing back to the Atlantic but again no vast amounts of precipitation anywhere away from the north-west. So chilly but not overly so and rather cloudy – dismal! February and March should see lovely bright sunny days, overnight frosts but not exceptionally cold. To summarise, overall much drier than recently, not a lot of snow, temps about average with a couple of below average, particularly in early January.

Nice one SM - I'll be adding mine in a few days and I know Andy is also working on his.

That's absolutely appalling - I'm not going to their site again. Have corresponded with AB in the past re weather info and he seemed so pleasant - it's so true that you don't know what goes on behind closed doors. People should boycott the site so he doesn't get any advertising revenue.

Chrysanth?

That was taken just as the light was fading which gives it that eerie look. It's on the tundra about 3 miles outside the settlement of Churchill on Hudson Bay in Manitoba. I believe the plane came down about 20 years ago and was just left there as it fell. No-one was killed which was good.

Was taken from the safety of a "Tundra Buggy" on an open air deck at the back.

Here's one of the my favourite animal on earth (taken last year in Churchill, Canada)

Landscape in Manitoba

I saw them last year in Churchill, Manitoba in October. It was amazing just to see them "dancing" across the sky. We only saw the green and it wasn't as bright as she saw but truly breathtaking just the same. Green is the most common, reds, purples and blues are much rarer.

A beautiful afternoon. Sun came out about 11.30 and is still out. Slightly breezy from the WNW - about 13mph - 19.5 now and rising. Can't quite believe it.

What eye of the storm program are u usingPls?

They've got a "redirect" on but it can't take the traffic.

Pretty big drop in one hour yesterday here - 13 at 1300 down to about 4 at 1400

Absolutely stunning!

A couple from yesterday from our snow in Norfolk.

5cm of laying snow here - all fallen since 7.ish. Very sticky - a winter wonderland

Try going to Churchill in Manitoba - you'll get plenty of snow there from October thru to March. Was there last October and it hasn't stopped snowing since! Downside it's usually about -50 including windchill inFebruary

Here's a weather one or two (Shuggee - get rid of the daffs for me - there's a dear- I'll re-size and send later.

Stuart - can't see the moon here (foggy) but would suggest it's a halo caused by ice - if I'm wrong no doubt someone on here will be able to tell you.

2cm on the ground here in King's Lynn - and still below freezing - definitely snow and not rime or hoar frost - there's enough to make a soft snowball. First snow here for two years!

Hi Shuggee - sorry about that - I would if I could but - can't seem to edit the post

Here's a non-weather one from me They all came out on Sunday
