  1. The severe spell may not have started until late January but December 1946 was not without interest. It had the same CET as December 2009. You can't compare the two, I'm afraid.
  2. I don't subscribe to "once zonality starts that's it for a long time". Zonality will last as long as it lasts depending on the state of the atmosphere and the variables at the time. It may take seismic shift to break out of the pattern, it may only take a small tweek. It may last for two months, it may last only two weeks. It depends on those variables for me.
  3. I looked at this post yesterday and even now I still don't get why the ECM mean you consider very good? There isn't a hint of the mean of the ensembles suggesting a block over Scandinavia in that chart to me and it shows Icelandic low and a ŵesterly flow over the UK. I would have thought a very good ECM mean would show some indication of blocking over Scandinavia?
  4. I have and I didn't find it exciting. I was caught out in the January 2007 gale outside. I struggled trying to stand in a gust. They ripped my glasses off my face and smashed them into the street. I was virtually blind trying to find them, some people helped me find them but they were ruined. Not an enjoyable experience.
  5. Personally, I can't see the appeal of severe gales. See trees bowing in the wind doesn't do it for me.
  6. No there is a cluster of showers over the Irish Sea.The front edge cloud of that storm is just about to get into far SW of Ireland.
  7. HmmmI hope you haven't been sucked in by CFS with this prediction. Nothing in the GFS ensembles to indicate this during the first third of January at the moment.
  8. Another dry Christmas Day. Forget White Christmases, wet Christmas Days are rare as hen teeth in recent times. I can't remember the last really wet one not that I'm complaining.
  9. Merry Christmas Clear and chilly So unlike the last two Christmas Days, not a mild one this time.
  10. I beginning to wonder if CFS actually stands forComplete Fantasy Scenarios....,,,,Merry Christmas.
  11. Reminiscing mood at the moment, thinking back 16 years ago this evening to that horrendous gale. Gawd what a gale that was, won't forget that one. The sound of the wind in the chimney, lights flickering, was the windows going to blow in? 16 years ago, how time has flown
  12. Can see white shafts from the cumulonimbus banks to the west.
  13. That's a mistake because I think it snowed in Manchester in 1923 and it definitely in 1906.
