    It's being a pretty dull month here as Aaron has alluded to although the coming week does look a little sunnier than the norm.
  2. summer blizzard
    Change mine to 3.4C, just 1C below the 1981-2010 average.
  3. summer blizzard
    Going outside into it, heavy snow in the center, roads totally covered.
  4. summer blizzard
    We have a good few hours yet. I'm going to nip to the parents now with my washing and also take a measurement before i pop back for another measurement tommorow. It was 9cm before sunday night.
  5. summer blizzard
    Dry heat is much more common in Spring. I can cope with 25C+ in April-June but come July-August-September its horrible.
  6. summer blizzard
    I don't mind heat but i cannot stand humidity at all.
  7. summer blizzard
    I have no sympathy for York, should'nt live on floodplains. I do hope we can high pressure over us.
  8. summer blizzard
    Christ, GFS6z goes for 17mm of heavy snow.
  9. summer blizzard
    Ah right, i knew it was very low GLAMM that was the cause but was unaware that he had deemed the strong final warming as responsible.
  10. summer blizzard
    That stratospheric pattern is not responsible for the summer soaking (and infact summers 2009 and 2010 were warmer than average)..
  11. summer blizzard
    To ask my question again - Do you believe that we will see a rebound below average of stratospheric temperatures given the occurance in 2009, 2011 and 2012 following warming..
  12. summer blizzard
    That March personally overshadowed everything else for me. Of course you can, i'm comparing it to now and it would be deemed cool.

    When he lived outside, yes. Being born in Scotland (i was only there 18 months) i appear to have aclimatised myself to the hard Scottish weather because i can happily wear a t-shirt at 5C and i keep my window open until maxima falls below 10C. Further if your cold just save on the bills and wear a jumper and coat.
  14. summer blizzard
    2010, 2006 and 2001 were all below the 1981-2010 spring means. I never have ill effects due to the weather and never use heating.
  15. summer blizzard
    I never thought it possible that any month could be as great as 2006. There was just so much sunshine and warmth and being only 17 i got to spend the entire month milking my parents for cash and spending my days in the back garden being drunk, smoking shisha and having BBQ's. And even better, whilst i did'nt believe it my CET prediction method went for 19.5C.
  16. summer blizzard
    Probably going to have to go to my parents early on Saturday to get a good measurement. http://m.metofficemobile.mobi/1230MetWeb.mp4?t=1359035101

    I have to say its surprising in years just how much i've become a convert to spring warmth. Whilst in my early years on here i longed for Easter snowstorms i have to say that heat is so much better in spring when the humidity is low.
  18. summer blizzard
    Perhaps my perception stems from being inland. As with last March i recall the dominant wind direction in May 08 being a south easterly which whilst producing cloud in most of the east is without a doubt the sunniest wind direction for Leeds because we tend to be far enough in land for the sun to burn through. The second half didn't have the dazzle of the first but i don't recall being disappointing. July 10 i recall being a horrible month, constantly cloudy and humid. Perhaps thats how the Candians/New Yorkers feel.
  19. summer blizzard
    They have in the past, just not recently. June 2005 springs to mind.
  20. summer blizzard
    As i recall April-June 2010 was actually very nice. Largely sunny and dry with a mixture of cool and warm flows.
  21. summer blizzard
    For me the second half didn't matter simply because the first half was so exceptional.
  22. summer blizzard
    There were regional differences but here the entire month was phenomenal and i think we were around 2003 for sunshine. As ever in spring/summer i shall be looking for extremes in terms of sunshine, dryness and warmth though another spell of 20C+ lasting yonks will do me though i don't mind a bit of thunder thrown in, though i hate humidity. To be honest until March 2012 i was always of the opinion that it should be an extension of winter however having experienced the phenomenal March 2012 which was warm and in Yorkshire as sunny as 2003 (may even have beat it), i now want a repeat.
  23. summer blizzard
    Ideally i think i would go for March 2012, April 2011 and May 2008 all in one.
  24. summer blizzard
    I think that certainly March and April will be dependent on the stratosphere with a slightly cooling MEI and a slight +QBO. As for May whilst i do expect the +QBO to move the warm west Pacific waters east i don't think there will be all that much happening and so will go for the classic NW/SE split. Headed into summer i think this summer stands the best chance of a warm July/August than for several years.
  25. summer blizzard
    Now i know that you guys are all looking for cold however in recent springs (2009, 2011, 2012) we have seen at least one very warm spring month possibly as a result of a large stratospheric rebound. I guess my question is do you expect the stratosphere to rebound well below average as we head into spring.
