Had nice sunny spell with temps around 13c,Drizzle now and breezy, Tentative indications in models of some pattern change around start January, Just hope move away from this constent wet pattern, Fed up of moaning about the rain,need something new to moan about,

Christmas morning, Rain hail wind thunder, Very seasonal!!!!!!!!!!!

That was wild wet Christmas morning, Hail rain high wind and thunder,

And the seasonal favorite LACK OF DATA AT CHRISTMAS, Well Santa will provide any lost data, Bless Him

Sorry off Topic,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Happy Christmas to all, Thanks for some informative posts, entertaining and at times funny posts,

Just visiting from south West thread,,,,,,,,,Have Nice Christmas All from an old Brummie

I do think there is evidence for warming, which will make upper atmosphere more dynamic and harder to predict, Extremes are starting to happen, Weather synoptics will still at times bring in cold and in my opinion extreme cold as likely as all other weather extremes, The UK always will be influenced by Atlantic, nothing new in that, Over last few years weather records are being broken, We may not get any decent cold spell nation wide this winter, but the chances are there,if synoptics fall into place, and chances of extremes are there

Snow for Christmas is rare. That what makes it special and the icing on the cake for Christmas, Once the holidays over. we have the long winter months to get through, For me that is the time I like to see some snowy weather to break up the long haul to spring

Maybe change Dreaming of white Christmas to Singing in the rain

Had he been looking at " The Sweet little mystery" of the Strat chart

Suspect winter sales be flogging off there unsold winter woollies, Lets hope in couple weeks they need to urgently restock,,,,,Happy Christmas and New Year,,,,,,,,,,,,, May Jack Frost decide to pay us visit in January

Sun out, Been up to Cerne giant, Looks bit washed out, River high and fast, Think area not too bad, seems main rain belt missed us here, Happy Christmas and New Year to all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hope weather brings us some change for mid January

I suppose the main question is,,,,,Are we starting to see changes to more extreme weather patterns or is everything still within historical norms, There is some signs that this maybe happening, Lets hope for cold spell to develope in January and put theory to test, Well is Christmas, so ok to bring the old chestnuts out,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dry,cloudy mild morning, Deer out on back field. River seems gone down little, We have community farm for people with learning disabilities, They worked very hard preparing allotment for winter, The area is awfull mess at moment,Still plenty time to recover and get ready for spring, They sell really freash veg which help there funds. They have nice community with chickens,rabbits,ducks, donkeys, horses, goat etc, Just hope can get some dry weather so they can get back on track,

Longest cold spell I remember 62/63 , Boxing day through to 6 March, 47 winter started end Jan think that finished March,[ not born for that one] 62/63 winter 50 years ago

Thanks John posting Fax charts

Gusty winds constant mainly light rain,

Fully agree, That is why the exceptional winters of past are remembered, And even the big ones were not winter long events, I just look on cold spells being break from our norm

Getting old now, but my experience of earlier years was that from very end December through Jan Feb the prime time for cold, The big winters of past seem fall into that pattern, The 2010 cold seemed to me very early, Suppose it what we have experienced in our life times,,,,,,,

Thanks Find subject interesting, Would it be right to say relativlely new sceince, Maybe sceince wrong word,

Thanks, not worried about any cold for January yet,more interested get the rain gone, But for learning, interested to know significance of any forecast Strat

Can I please ask that with out any Strat Warning, would we have any prospects of possible cold? Genuine question

Wonder if we finish up with empty Atlantic ocean?

Well over on other thread plenty bickering about FI, What is unfolding now in real weather terms is not FI and affecting people now

Lets all be positive,,,,,Just think how lucky we are to be avoiding cold frosty mornings,scrapping ice off windscreens,late night lamp post watching, kids out building snowman, weather forecasters saying "no end insight to deep freeze" Blue sky crisp frosty days, We are so lucky, [ depressed myself now]
