Well well well, we've got a few flakes mixed in with the rain, that was quicker than I thought possible, must be the rate it's coming down, could be well in the game in a couple of hours

Temp 4.4 and dp 3.7 here in Ramsey, seems to be a bit of sleet about 40 miles north of us at the minute.
I'm expecting a wintry mix in about 2 Hours at this rate, temp has started dropping quickly.. about 2 degrees in hour and half.
Hope everyone has had a kip today to keep me company into the small hours

I'm sure everyone has got a different story to tell but imby this seems like the coldest winter we've had in a long time, we've got February and march still to come which in recent years is when the fun has begun, it feels a bit like the 70's & 80's when it was the norm.hope everyone who has missed out thus far gets a big slice of pie before spring and if that means I get no more I'll be happy with what I've had and happy for you. Good luck

Merry Christmas one and all, whatever the weather I hope you all stay healthy,safe and entertained by the prospect of what may come. It does feel like we're about to be part of an historical cold spell but if murrs sausage doesn't quite rise to the occasion this year then the hunt will carry on but at least we believed.

Wet snow here in Ramsey at 2m below sea level, hopefully just the prawn cocktail in a Christmas feast of proper winter weather this year

so this is what a siberian winter is like.... lucky fluggers
I think I'd be totally flugged off with it after a month, 2 weeks would be enough.... maybe 3 times a year ?
-
This cold spell has been truly exceptional, never experienced anything like it before, it feels like how I'd imagine Siberia feels most winters.... you have to spare a thought for any homeless people ?

Looking at all the pictures on the news of the snow up north made me so jealous I couldn't finish my porridge this morning.
-
It's just started here thank @#@# I didn't think we were going to get anything.... Who wants to borrow my hoover?
-
Right...I'm putting my chimney sweeping hoover and dyson on to try and suck it down from Peterborough.

Merry christmas everyone! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge on this forum and keeping me entertained throughout the year, even if it does end up with me telling my mates its going to snow next week and looking stupid all the time........this time....maybe! Im no model reader but i follow the solar output closely. Im hoping the recent high solar output which i belive has set back cohens sai theroys is finally starting to wane and this will deliver the big fat ssw that santa forgot soon after the new year bringing snow n ice aplenty. Have a goodun gang and keep the faith...ITS A COMING!

cheers, looks like theres a bit more coming down that way now.Yes there is snow, my parents went to tesco and came down that way
-
can anyone tell me if theres enough snow over the heath in Royston to go sledging tommorow please
-
Could someone near St Neots (Cambs) please post their current temperature. I am wondering whether my weather station thermometer is working properly. I got 3.2C today and is now at 0C. Feels much colder. Thanks.
It was minus 6 here at 10am , minus 1 at noon and 0 at 5, think the front has warmed things up a bit
-
i got a cunning plan for friday...if we all breath in facing west and breath out facing east we might be able to suck the snow over our way a bit, the same goes for any flatilance caused by over indulging on horse burgers, release east my friends
-
Sorry to hear about your accident floaty, pleased your ok...watching the radar on your phone and eating horse burgers whilst your driving though is never a good idea.
-
I don`t think there can be any deniying that solar output has a massive effect on climate, our recent cold winters and wet summers correlate perfectly with the decrease in output from the sun in recent years. there are undoubatably many other factors that affect the patterns we see in the NH but i would say most of these are somehow inter-related to either low or high solar activity which would lead me to belive that the colder winters we have been experincing in the last few years are likely to become the norm and the winters of the 90`s will be much less frequent.
-
radar says YES and intensifying just to the west so i`m going on lampost watch...hope the neighbors don`t think i`m perving on them

I would just like to express my respect to Stewart who predicted this likely cold spell way back at the start of december, it`s unfolded as he predicted almost to the day. Its great having such knowledgeable people on here sharing their thoughts and answering the questions of newbies like myself.
Solar activity has increased somewhat in the last week in respect of the amount of spots visible on the disc but most of these spots are not magnetically complex and are basically dorment, there are a couple of regions producing m class flares at present but nothing too drastic.Nobody fully understands the mechanism that turns low solar activity into low NH temps but there does seem to be some correlation, my theroy would be high solar activity somehow cools the stratosphere, giving us a warmish winter and vice versa. i think the current ssw is probably due to the very low solar activity in recent weeks and any affects from solar output won`t stop the effects of this ssw and the one predicted later in jan.....bring it on, bout time we had some lovely white stuff

My first post(its like doing a bungee jump but here goes).
Even though the models have teased us and let us down in recent weeks i think we have been very lucky to have been in with a shout of something akin to 2010 considering the fact that were currently reaching solar max which usally lends itself to a more westerly regime, the blocking has been there and the jet has tracked well south at times which are generally sypnotics of low solar activity. currently solar activity is at very low levels for a solar max(more akin to a solar minimum) which is why i belive we have had so much northern blocking so early this year even though it hasn`t delivered the good as yet.
with the imminent ssw being forecast were in with another good chance of some propa cold in jan so basically everyone needs to be patient and wait for the dice to roll in our favour...which they will at some point! btw if it was a snowmageddon every day of winter we`d soon get p****d off, 3 weeks of mayhem would be fine.

There's going to be some sleepiness here in Cambridgeshire if I drink much more of this wine, can confirm though that there's a few flakes mixed in with the rain.
