  1. Can't believe I'm saying this but my God I'm hoping none of these snowy charts come off. The effect this will have on the vaccine roll-out at such an important time is unthinkable. Safe to say that very few people on here will be agreeing with me but this really would be a disaster!
  2. There really would be a correlation between the extent of any bad weather and deaths due to people catching COVID that could have been vaccinated. Anyway the weather do as it wishes, I just pray for no snow and extended cold, we've had enough crap to deal with
  3. I joined Netweather back in 2004 and pretty much appear every winter hoping for snow and cold and every summer wishing for dry and hot. However this year, and hopefully for the only year I’m praying none of these cold charts come off. I’ve been involved in the whole COVID issue for a year and bad weather now literally couldn’t come at a worse time. For every vaccine delayed because people don’t attend it has an effect on a further 4 jabs to catch up. 3-4 days of bad weather will therefore have a huge effect on the vaccine roll out and something that none of us should be hoping for. I love snow as much as anyone but please please please not now. There really are more important things to pray for!
  4. I'm currently in the US and can confirm it's cold! The temperature drop here in the south is phenomenal and by no means is Louisiana the worst place. It's great to see so much informative information from the Weather Channel where they describe what and why it's happening and don't just focus on the wild headlines. Has to be said on the other side of the country the ski resorts are starting to get very worried. It's dry and warm with little change in sight so not everyone is enjoying the snow that's for sure!
  5. Rain becoming very sleety here so fingers crossed it won't be long before we get a few flakes
  6. Fantastic read Steve as usual. Your ability to present data that to many (me included) would be seen as little more than mumbo jumbo is second to none. Fingers crossed your caveats don't come into play and a cold snowy winter lies ahead. Net Weather is very lucky to have your membership as are all us mere mortals!!!
  7. This is a pretty cool site to see what's happening wind wise on a global scale, especially at the moment with the storms we're experiencing [url=http://earth.nullschool.net]http://earth.nullschool.net
  8. I like it. The summer of 62 was warm, like this year. Then the following winter was cold, thus this winter will be cold. The most complex of ideas explained in a couple of sentences, genius!
  9. The GFS12z is predicting temperatures for the 24th May to be warmer on the south coast of Iceland than the south coast of France. Surely this has to be incredibly rare for the time of year? http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=charts;type=gfsh500;sess=
  10. that is a fantastic post I'm dreaming of, full of information and charts to back up your thoughts, thanks
  11. you must be joking northern rab, ardnamurchan is nearly in Iceland!! you're right about the ECM though, i think we look for temperatures of 25+, where out of the wind and in the sun 18-19 can feel lovely. I suppose the GFS is offering a much wider margin for change though, I'm liking the way it settles things down and could hopefully set a trend for the summer but the chances of that.....
  12. Stranger things have happened Frosty, 8 years as a member here have certainly taught us nothing is set in stone! And I don't think the MO update is too bad, this is the UK after all
  13. Really appreciating your updates Frosty. As someone who is off to the far North west of Scotland in a week for a summer holiday I'm only hoping that your views on the GFS are going to gazzump the ECM, otherwise it could be more like a winter holiday. However saying this the Ardnamurchan Penninsula seems to have a a climate of its own shown by the recent wild fires which swept through the region, not something you'd have got in many other places, so even a run showing low pressure in the region could still deliver pleasant weather here. It would be lovely to see the ECM 12z start to back track now and show an increase in pressure rising from the north west, fingers crossed!
  14. Wow, if it keeps snowing at this rate we'll have enough for a snowman by Christmas 2017!
  15. Snow in Tetbury for an hour or so but slowly stopping now
  16. The NSIDC daily map is again showing an ice bridge from the coast of Finland to Estonia in the Baltic sea. Having been there 2 days ago this simply isn't true and neither will it be true for a long time yet. Any theories why as it did the same last year? http://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/
  17. Fantastic, Lidl selling shovels at half price is now a possible sign the winter isn't going to be cold!! Actually don't Lidl sell all their tat at half price, I wonder what thats a sign of?!
  18. There is quite rightly a lot of news on the record low sea ice levels in the Arctic. There doesn't seem to be as much news generated about record low temps for the time of year recorded in Greenland yesterday, -39, almost 10 degrees lower than the previous record?http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/09/09/excellent-news-from-the-greenland-country-club/
  19. Thank you for this balanced response John, very much appreciated for those of us who cant read the charts as well as us
  20. Perhaps not the best place for this but in response to some of the points on LRF's how can they be revised now for winter? Surely the Jan part of a LRF would be linked to the Dec part. If that is wrong then the whole thing is wrong? You can't have Jan correct if it follows from a December that was wrong as that's surely nothing more than coincidence?
  21. There will be plenty who can articulate far better than me the 0z GFS run but it certainly looks like the sudden turn around of synoptics shown on the 18z have continued and if anything seem more set on retrogression of the high with a more easterly flow. I'd say positive signs?
  22. One thing I've noticed is that the Baltic between Finland and Estonia is already frozen according to NSIDC. This is incredibly early and certainly early when there hasn't been a great deal of cold as of yet. I take it this must be a mistake? http://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/images/daily_images/N_daily_extent_hires.png
  23. That's some pretty impressive early season snow in the alps, I bet a few people holidaying there will have wished they'd have taken a few more clothes!
