Arrows

snow and rain here, some big bits. It won't settle because it's been raining for hours now. Hopefully something special for us easterners next week

Well he's only going on what the models sat surely, and more than one forcaster will write the script for the forcasts.

I saw a huge anvil today and took pictures, I'll upload them 2morow in the storm section (gallery) because I got a driving lesson soon.

Sunny with milky type skys. currently -3c

That sounds cool. I remember the 95/96 winter and also 96/97 winter which wasn't too bad. My house was covered with hills and we'd get the black bags and go shooting down the hills and one day we went through some guys fence at the bottom of the hill. He wasn't best pleased and filmed us for evidence.

It's Dan Corbett

yeah he does a smile with his teeth all the time. comilcal really. i hope everyone gets there fair share. 18z out in 2 and abit hours

I LUV SNOW: I didn't mean to seem touchy. Just excited and nervous and desperate for the snow. Am I forgiven pal? I hope we do get something. My parents don't believe what I'm saying and everytime I try explaining the charts to them they say "For christ sake Andy, shut up about the weather, if it happens it happens" Nothing much bothers my dad. He had to work outside in the 78 winter as an electrician on powerlines. And he worked in the 87 storm. He made a bomb that week. That helped us buy our first house with the money he made due to the storm/ Over £2000 in one week. (Completely off topic,,sorry) Back to weather

This has been asked so many times. And it's not your fault but I wish it wasn't asked all the time. Let's try and forget 62/63 and concentrate on this winter. If it's worse then that won't change 62/63 it will just be something to compare it to. Or next winter people will say "is it going to be as bad as 2005/2006. The 62 winter was by the sounds of it unique and although this year could see a v. wintry spell it won't be the same as then. It would be nice to have something LIKE it or even BETTER. Give it a month and we will have a better idea of the winter.

thats another thing. They still worried about the second week in december. let's see what unfolds. The 12z run is out at 4pm I think so let's see what that throws up for us?!

People in Luton do. I saw airline at Luton and they were snowed in like pigs

Ohh goody. this is where I can finally win something Joke,,,but one problem is some people have an advantage over other people if they live in a particular area such as a village where you can get really good pics. So that must be taken into consideration when it comes to voting.

What I have thought though is as we are hot for this time of year then maybe that will intensify the low and cause it to produce heavy winds like the 87 storm did? heres a link for more info and pics http://www.quehubo.com/eng/vince/vince_gallery_2.php

So, will the left overs track our way then? If so then when roughly?

ADI AND JOHN your right. I find working with more than one confuses me. There's so many. If you use more than 1 you get mixed up with time of runs and whats what.

thanks. The low at that time seems to be developing a hook and as it stands nothing is standing in its way.

where can you view the t charts that you keep mentioning? I can't find them on this site unless I'm being blind. Help me out here people.

If you look at the +360 and the +384 setup you see a deep low to the nw moving south with a MB 970. The low in the +360 to the north eventually merges with the low from the west and pushes westwards which is different from whats been happening recently where everything has moved NE. The high thats protected most of the Uk from the high winds has 1020mb and 1025mb. When this low comes aross the high is only 1005mb and 1010mb with -15 over most of the Uk. Not strong enough to keep the low away. The low from +372 and +384 intensifies and tightens as it moves into the fragile front already over the UK. Take a look and tell me it doesn't look good. I'm thinking about asking met-check there opinion.

Anyway, I can';t wait for this bad boy to strike. It's going to be awesome

I'm still going with my prediction. It will strike as a cat 4. and quickly become a cat 3. New Orleans will see heavy flooding and so will parts of Texas. I think Texas will get creamed

Looks very deadly. On fox this morning a pilot who flew into the middle shew photos of what she looked like from the middle. On photo looked like a big bowl of cloud. Very cool. I think it will be border line cat 3/4 when it makes landfall

thats pretty impressive. It would be good to get to cat 6. I know it doesn't exist but if the wind was so strong then they could invent cat 6

She has winds of 140mph now so a little way to go yet. Remember 155mph sustained to be cat 5
