    i wasnt saying that it wasnt impressive just that it is more impressive compared to modern marches.met office for bradford givesboth 1947[1.75] and 1917[2.3] both colder 1980,84,85,86,87,88 are 3.9,4.3,4.35,4.65,3.85and 5.5 respectively,yes not as cold as 2013 but colder than average and some notably wintery

    i guess that had this march been in the 80s we would have said it was a bit colder than usual with a very notable blizzard,so for cold it has been impressive yes since 1962it has been the coldest march and the first real blizzard since 1995,possibly bigger drifts since the early 80s but maybe only just beating the blizzards of 1995,1990,1987,1984,1982 1981they were all close.not as big as the monsters of 1979.people have short memories

    maybe the figures are so close and get mixed up between averages and cet,which is coldest?figures are very easy to manipulate and areas are very different met office gives 1.75 average for march 1947 in this area for bradford station which is way colder

    have a go at 6.1
  5. hillbilly
    i cant believe i got -7 last night!
  6. hillbilly
    thats surprising - 7deg last night almost as good as ive had all winter!
  7. hillbilly
    any chance of the april minimum falling -13.3 for scotland,wales-11[ish] and england -15 ?
  8. hillbilly
    a lot of cold lovers here ,il like my winters to be winter and my summers to be summer,an odd blip on that is ok but im not asking for a july with a cet of 11

    there are many factors that affect the weather its all about the jet stream now,15 years ago it was all about el nineo,solar activity does play a part,what man has done is debatable .all it takes is a volcano to scupper everyones theories and the arctic ice will be restored!

    i like this guy you have to admire someone who actually likes his job,maybe too many pretty faces these days who are there for their looks pushed him to one side

    most roads in that area will still be wall to wall but cleared roads the higher you go the better but many lowwer roads still have very impressive drifts.be prepared to be shocked these drifts will not melt until end of april or possibly well into may
  12. hillbilly
    any chance of it getting close to the very cold 5.8 1986?
  13. hillbilly
    cant believe i got -6 last night nice and sunny today will take a month of sunshine to get rid of these drifts
  14. hillbilly
    i guess you cant have it all,we have had 3 winters recentlyall let down from being exceptional,2010very little wind and lacking severity for long enough,10/11little happened after the new year,lacking snow and wind and this winter mostly cold yet no severe periods but what an incredible end all of them were very different yet overall similar in total severity,i guess we are all wanting 1979,1963 or 1947 but even these 3 were all severe in very different ways

    the coldest cet for march is 2.6[i think] yet the met office for bradford gives 1.75 for 1947, i reckon many of our hilltops would have recorded subzero that year....amazing
  16. hillbilly
    looks as if the jan temp of -13.5[i think] is safe,would have loved the temp to fall at the end of march,maybe april,what a shock that would be!
  17. hillbilly
    this i guess is an ordinary event in mathematical terms as there will always be an event well out of the ordinary.i blame it on chaos theoryif you look at cets for march i think only 5 between 1960 and 1988 were above the long term average and 4 of them only just,since 88 only a handful have been below average and many well above.we all have short memories.anyone remember march 2006....cold....i didnt think you did,forgot already and 2010 heavy snow...you see forgot again!
  18. hillbilly
    it looks as though the drifted snow will be around for many weeks,probably into late may or even into june in pennine or peak areas.any chance it will take the english record of august 18th on cross fell?
  19. hillbilly
    have read this before but very good reading,so we may get a cold 5deg april as 1986 with a great 1981 blizzard in the last week followed by a cold may with snowfalls like may 79 then a1975 june start then a 1814 year with no summer and snow starting at the end of september
  20. hillbilly
    this was common in the 80s so we may be back in a colder stage,i guess 2010 would have been very bad had the wind blown.may be like this next year.last time it was like this in these parts was 1995
  21. hillbilly
    food prices will rise no doubt,there have been plenty of late springs in the past am sure we will manage just depends how april and may pans out,we are due rain but we are also well overdue a very good summer and could soon be talking drought!
  22. hillbilly
    because the silly t@?>s have got short memories,those lambs should have at least been in fields very close to the farms,i used to be a farmer albeit cows not sheep and you cannot assume spring snow is not bad,have seen as much snow if not more in the last week of april 1981 ,the older farmers should know better
  23. hillbilly
    i find that it is much more unusual to have 6 poor summers in a row rather than the current crop of colder than average winters,only one good month out of 18 summer months,i hope this summer corrects that a little
  24. hillbilly
    still looking for the first daffodills around here
  25. hillbilly
    maybe we are just in a group of colder winters such as those in the 80s or 60s and it is just a natural cycle or maybe it is global warming and we will all freeze to death
