  1. Here in Tunbridge Wells we are still getting quite a decent covering - maybe 1cm by morning but sometimes the journey is as good as the destination...

    Yes,all the roads are covered where I am. Looks like heavy graupel, enough to make it crunchy when walking back from the pub. If it carries on like this then a centimetre or two at least.

    It's some sort of streamer, but not really a Thames streamer. It seems to just pick up where the cold air meets the warmer water near the coast.

  2. Despite the fact at it has been snowing in Tunbridge Wells since about 09.30 this morning we only seem to have just over 3cm! However that is just enough to make things look reasonable.

    Still, it looks as if there may be some more on the way from France. Might hit here if we are lucky.

    Hardly any traffic on the roads, which, since 18.00, have turned white here.

    Biggest disappointment is that the lamppost outside my house has decided to fail - what a time for that to happen!

  3. I expect something warmer, but not outrageously so as we are only slowly climing out of a long solar minumum and I expect the patterns of the last two to three years to continue. Where exactly this ends up could be dicatated by the degree of perisitence of La Nina of the existing NE Atlantic SST anomalies.

    Taking all these factors in to account I'll go for 9.55c.

  4. Sorry I thought I was in the Arctic Ice thread...it seems to have gone off track somewhat since the last time I looked in!

    I seem to remember reading some time ago that one of the signs of Gulf Stream slowdown would be the development of warm pooling to the south and west of Iceland - the normal sink point areas for the GS.

    These warm pools have been there for some time now and could be one of the reasons why ice growth in adjaccent areas such as Baffin and Hudson Bay has been so slow this year. Take off these areas for usual ice expectations and this could go a long way to accounting for the missing ice.

    Any thoughts?

  5. When I heard this news for a moment I could not believe it. For me Rob is a legend and quite simply this is a disgrace.

    Then, when I thought about it I realsed that this is the BBC.....probably the decision of some weather media consultant!

    Well how do we protest and how do we get our message heard? Facebook, perhaps (I'm not a member so that it no use to me). Is there a BBC e/mail address or what? These ******s should not really be allowed to get away with it.
