  1. I don't like those SST charts because the colour coding is so weird. The pale blue is actually a slightly positive anomaly (although with the uncertainty error it's probably best described as neutral) and the purples are repeated as both an extremely negative anomaly and a hyper positive anomaly!
  2. From this: to this: Snow is nice and all that in Winter, but if things don't get warmer soon I'm going to break out the crayons and start drawing on my screen.
  3. The big low in the Atlantic and the block just seem to be sitting staring at each other. The big low sends over a little fella to have a go, but it isn't going to end well for him. (I don't think I can torture this metaphor anymore, tbh)
  4. Gradual warming trend underlying the usual weather noise. See the chart BornFromTheVoid posted in the March CET thread. http://forum.netweat...et-competition/ Edit: (Cheers, Gavin!)
  5. That chart really needs a soundtrack for Gavin and Mushy's (and Mrs Yarmy's) benefit:
  6. I wouldn't fancy being in a boat in the North Atlantic with that depression. The GFS seems to have the same fondness for Atlantic megastorms that the ECM does for monstrous raging Easterlies.
  7. At this rate I might as well re-use my March value! So 279K (5.85C). Rather hope I'm wrong though.
  8. Looks dry, grey, and bitterly, relentlessly cold for much of the UK next week with occasional snow showers in the East. Who could want that? And yet I find myself intrigued and wondering how long it can go on.
  9. Looks like Netweather suffered from some ice accretion. Anyway, pub run is out and it's showing a significant warm up after the weekend! Only joking, it's freezing cold.
  10. You have to laugh. Someone needs to tell the ECM that Earth rotates from West to East.
  11. 2 notable things about this month's CET 1. Looks like the second half will be colder than the first. 2. There has been next to no snow cover to bring the value down (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm guessing the other low values in the record had more snow lying around for a time. Edit: And a third! The infamous 'Year without a Summer' of 1816 had a March CET of 3.9.
  12. AMO was negative certainly: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Amo_timeseries_1856-present.svg Don't know if there's any correlation between that and snow in the UK though. Not really a subject for this thread though, I suppose.
  13. No, I've heard the stat before too. I'm guessing it's just Easter Sunday with the same criteria as a White Christmas. Still odds against this year, I'd say.
  14. My 279K (5.85C) is struggling, but I'm not folding yet. The weather is bluffing, I tell ya.
  15. 7 in the 20th Century according to Wikipedia (yes, I know). Can't find any stats on White Easters, but it is curious given that Easter is mostly in April.
  16. I'm guessing the High Arctic is warmer than average? Or maybe the subtropics? The heat must be somewhere. Unless Corbyn and Madden are right and the glaciers are returning to Scotland. Anyway it's going to be the coldest March in my lifetime.
  17. Well, if that comes off AND it doesn't completely melt AND Gavin's high pressure (you're obsessed, man! ) moves in AND the even colder temps arrive next week there could be some interesting overnight minima in the North Midlands next week.
  18. Dec 09 was a much better event here in EA than Dec 10. Huge falls of pristine powder followed by crystal blue sky ice days. This winter has been fine for me. As long as I get one decent snowfall which lingers for a couple of days, I'm happy.
  19. Op and Control the coldest of the lot virtually. Ought to temper some expectations.
  20. The model thread was in fact renamed 'The Hunt for Cold' near the start of Winter by the mods, because that's what 99% of people were doing.
  21. If it were showing snowmaggedon we'd all be saying it's good with these synoptic setups.
