The news is 'beasterly' this morning, but then i check those Met Office 5 days forecasts, can only find a hint of 50 percent of light snow in a few places for Mon / Tues / Wed next week.. not very useful when it comes to making plans, as people looking at those 7 day forecasts, will think it'll stay mostly dry !!
-
maybe consider a slight change to 'here comes the beast' - just add a '?' on the end
It may be going a tad Pete Tong, but hey, it'll be Spring soon. hehe
-
ok, i tell myself to relax.. some sort of cold is still coming
People that are expecting 'day after tomorrow' kind of setup, may have to lower their expectation bar a little
-
have the wheels started to come off, that is why the champers were on ice
I think even the Met Office went too soon, with the hype, and talk of the 'beast'
The High from the North, sinks the Beast from the East
-
Looking at Met O, local forecast.
Wind Chill Feels Like Temp for next Mon, despite lots of Sunshine
Max Temp 3C
Feels like temp between -4 and -8c
Brisk Easterly winds, gusting into the low 30's
-
I hear people screaming 'winter wonderland' and stuff, well, i'll get interested when this stuff is t+96 or less
The problem is, it soon won't be winter anymore, yeah, there is a chance for this winter to go out with a bang
My Champer's remains on ice for now
Hopefully, by this time next week.. the Champer's won't need the fridge !!

can you imagine what the daily express headlines are going to be?
-
is liam dutton reading the mod thread?, his latest tweet, is about caution
-
Day After Tomorrow, just came on the telly... that's scuppered the cold blast !!
-
The time could be coming close.. to finally be able to hype... The Beast from the East
With the Met O forecast now mentioning the possibility of significant snowfalls, but still a lot of uncertainty, about where
Maybe for once, this one won't go down the sh.....oo-hole
-
Slightly take back, my previous post, there is light snow falling out there... but not settling
Shame it's not an active weather front, and not some weak little thing

snow-ma-geddon, has now turned into a nothing burger
The fizzling front, will bring patchy drizzle tomorrow morning.
Max of 8c by Thursday, and again Sat / Sun - with some light rain around
Hardly, a very wintry themed week
Makes Daily Express style headlines, of 'killer cold' - OMG - it's beyond a joke

Hmm, the graphic on the met office website changes from snow, to sleet and back to snow again for Tuesday
If lucky, maybe a chance to make a 'sleet-man' - if it's possible.
The MAD thread, i ain't going in there for a while
-
Same old story, get excited for next week, when that's not going to happen, it's back to the long range
Now, get excited about the second half of February

Total Pantz right now. It's around 4c, chucking down with rain for most of the night
On Radar, i see reds and purples up over Dartmoor, maybe they got a surprise up there, surely colder than lower down
Still, interesting times ahead, and this front today is stalling !!
-
Met Office regional forecast, currently saying cloudy on Tuesday with outbreaks of snow, with rain near the coasts
Be interesting to see, if they continue to go with that, or changes over time
-
check the radar, look at that squall line, that's developed ahead of the front
Still early, lots of people not awake yet... but it's going to get lively out there, first thing !!
-
Chivenor still at 9c
Cold... my backside !!
At this rate, sleet is probably the best on offer, for the Moors
Winds never make round to the NW down here, just West, backing South-West for Wed night's storm
That wind direction is bad... for the white stuff
-
6:30 BBC Weather forecast, she showed 87mph gust, west Ireland, pretty close to Galway
Then she said 'storm force gusts'
Well, Hurricane force gusts really. lol
-
checking out the radar this morning
what is that to the south-west approaches
looks like a big round eye !!
-
a 24 hour train strike, combined with Storm Dylan (downgraded or not)
I think there could be a lot of fed up people out there
-
Forget the snow down here, look at the lightning charts !!
A lot of activity currently in the Plymouth area
-
3c with precip knocking on the door.. so close
Surely this is going to start as snow over Dartmoor / Exmoor
-
Seems like the pendulum will really swing the other way
11 or 12c by day, and 9 or 10c night minimums coming up for my area according to Met Office
Very dark, grey days, with hill fog and patchy drizzle
Not too far away from 2 years ago, when we had a record breaking 17c night minimum in the run up to Christmas
Not very festive, but i guess people get to save on their heating bills

Looking at some of those wind-chill values, time to crack out the t-shirt & shorts. heh
Watch out for the post-people - postal workers next week, strolling around in their shorts
Talk about freezing flesh
