  1. Light/Moderate snow here, not quite managed a cm yet. Temp -0.5C. Cant really believe this is going to be ongoing for 24 hours!! amazing
  2. Clear here still. Temp still holding at 2.1C, pressure falling slightly.
  3. Currently 2.0C here, and part cloudy. Nothing falling though. Im still nervous that the front wont make it here tomorrow!
  4. My tesco burgers best before date was 16th Jan. And ......there off....
  5. That fax is a thing of beauty for us in the SE!!
  6. Just think guys and gals, back in my youth that 10:30pm forecast would be it as far as info goes until tomorrow at 9:30am or lunchtime. Imagine the sleepless hours not knowing if had all gone pear shaped overnight!!
  7. Like I said earlier if the Atlantic fronts struggle and dont make it to our region, it bodes well for a longer, colder and more snowy period over the following week(s). This happened several times over the 1980s and could be about to repeat finally 30+ years later!!
  8. I remember that morning, I was on the M25 coming from the M11 in bright sunshine until I got to the M1 junction where everything was white!!
  9. Latest MetO faxes look absolutely excellent. Again it reminds me of a classic 1980s style setup with that lovely "H" symbol sitting above the UK controlling the Atlantic.
  10. Guys I hope we get a foot of snow, but like ive said before in the classic 1980s cold spells I remember heavy snow being in the evening forecast for the next day, and it never made it anywhere near the South East. (But it lead to a week+ really cold spell so its all good if this does happen!!)
  11. I remember having amazing ice patterns on the inside of my bedroom window back then, and getting out of bed for school was like walking into a freezer!! If, and its a big IF, we get a cold spell like that, anyone under 30 is going to be in for a serious shock at just how extreme it can be in the UK sometimes for cold and snow.
  12. This potential setup over the weekend reminds me of when I was a kid in the 1980s. On several occasions the bbc weather forecast would say snow spreading in from the west, turning to rain later on. But it never arrived and ended up staying cold for another week with Easterly winds.
  13. Snowing in Kilburn, NW6. not really settling except on 1 wall LOL
  14. Last night I was nervous about the models today, but personally I am very pleased at the output today. A cold to very cold week, snow for many im sure, and a distinct possibility of a 2 week+ decent cold spell a la 1980s style.
  15. Hopefully this is the start of a month long winter spell. Have to say the last 2 or 3 winters have been better than the previous 15 years worth put together. Still not upto the 1980s standard winters but improving!! Maybe its the start of a new era of colder winters. Still would like to experience one more of the fantastic 80s style winters before I get too old to go down a hill on a sledge!!
  16. Just seen snow geese turn around and back north, gotta be a good sign!!!
  17. Models overall looking good for a cold spell, and maybe even a long cold spell. But they are only models (Amazingly powerful ones), and they will change every time they update according to the latest data fed into them. They will (IMO) never be able to predict the weather with complete accuracy even if they were 1000s of times more powerful. If you could clone the earth 9 times and have 10 exact copies right now, there would be 10 different weather outcomes in 5 days time. Its all down to millions of small random differences every second (such as someone walking, a plane flying and butterflies flapping wings!!) making bigger and bigger changes to the atmosphere and our weather over minutes, hours and days!!
  18. My Grandmother is still for sale LOL Dont even want a snowflake, just a temperature under 5c for a whole 24 hours!!
  19. Will it, wont it. Ive stroked a goose for good luck and am gambling that it will get really cold next week. The same chance as the models at the moment and geese are lucky
  20. Happy new year, heating bills will be low until 21st Jan when it all goes in the freezer!!
