  1. poor 'ol Norwich only gets a couple hours of sleet. I can't take much notice of that... they are showing heavy snow for Okehampton on Tuesday evening. I'm not trusting that
  2. these types of weather situations, the forecasters are about use as a chocolate fireguard waiting for a weather system to arrive, to see what falls from the sky... nowcasting, and covering their arses with rain, sleet or snow. so we're back to the days, of looking out the window to see what it's doing crickey, o'riley
  3. just looked out my windows, i saw something white dropping down.. got excited for a nano-second. It was a pigeon, doing a number 2 from mid air
  4. Look at the impact matrix part of the warning, the tick is down the bottom, the unlikely part of the scale. But with 1 to 3 cm of snow, especially for that London area, they already know what chaos, it can cause, which is why i think they have gone with yellow warning, but only just... at the moment
  5. yes, local south-west headline on met office website reads: Potential for disruptive snow next week.
  6. to the moaning thread i go. look at the shambles going on, regarding the details on next week then i think back to last summer, with the scare stories spread around in mainstream media, regarding climate change, and what it'll be like in the year 2070 they are dithering about the next couple of days... let's forget about 2070, shall we? good grief !!
  7. weather front already gone through today, pretty brief and feeble nothing but rain showers to look forward to, but hey some strong winds are coming could be interesting up on Princetown tomorrow morning, rain turns to heavy snow, with 60+ mph wind gusts
  8. the dreaded M4 corridor is getting mentioned again Think i may head there one day, it'll be interesting to see rain fall south, and snow falling to the north, i presume it'll be sleet on the M4 itself
  9. i got some weird altitude info on the Met O website Princetown - Dartmoor - 412m above mean sea level Okehampton - Devon - 408m above mean sea level No way, i've walked up onto Dartmoor from Okehampton.. it's a steep climb I've seen a lot of snow on Dartmoor, and back in Okehampton, they had a lot less, with a wintry mix That info doesn't seem right
  10. we have gone from snowmageddon charts three days ago, to people saying things like 'during Feb, something may pop up' As Mark Sudduth once said, hope is not a good planning tool. I'm looking for more
  11. guys, don't panic, i found the easterly for the coming week !! for my location: Thursday 24th - 6pm - wind NE - 9pm - wind ENE - midnight - wind E then it becomes light and variable for a while, before the South Westerlies arrive next weekend
  12. Mark says 'i'll get my coat' - not sure we'll even need one, the way things are going
  13. well that is that, 24 hours, and the models collapse, faster than England batting v Australia at the Ashes dust to dust, and all that. Onwards
  14. already looking forward to spring. It's bright, sunny and fairly mild. With the evenings drawing out and becoming lighter, i'm getting that 'spring' feeling, even got a bit of Spring cleaning done this afternoon
  15. oh boy, now we have to deal with the tv, and paper forecasts, that are still using the old data, and telling people a big freeze is on the way, time to walk away from this for a while
  16. well it's time to moan... always happens doesn't it? soon as people start saying "it's nailed on" - then it goes tits up i expect certain posters will become silent for a while (75 to 80 percent) for another beast eh?
  17. oh dear, think i'll listen to some Pete Tong this morning, even though Dance music is not great for Breakfast
  18. i dunno about this 50p debate you know. I'm old enough to remember the old bigger 50p coins, and i'm talking that size living near the coast in the south-west, it doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's normally marginal I've seen the ground get covered fast before, if those 50p's come down hard enough... sadly, the drip drip sounds soon follow, when it stops
  19. clear pattern is emerging. Evening delights, and Morning Depressions
  20. model thread this morning, i dunno if silence is golden or not golden. strapping in for another rollercoaster
  21. The Day After Tomorrow is on the telly again tonight, that has skurpered the upcoming cold spell for sure
  22. chasing mirages sometimes, the model thread feels that way hysteria...depression..on again...off again
  23. i put the reliable time frame at around 2-3 days.. maybe 5 at a push (with cross model agreement) been bitten too many times in the past. Champagne on the only ice around here (freezer) for the moment
  24. planning a trip up north is a nightmare really. When it comes to the weather, you don't really know until it's nearly zero hour, and by then you've got rip off prices with public transport. Amber warning upgrades from the Met O, usually seem to happen very close to zero hour as well
  25. they had the mild ramper on the 6:30 BBC news, 'mild mild mild' was said at the start, as i reached for my remote off button with winds from the NW for a lot of the time, it really isn't going to feel that mild, we are not drawing up air from north africa or anything
