  1. She is but I was a bit worried she'd ask for calipers too. We ex- Berwickshire lads have moved to more snowy climes it seems- you only slightly to temperate Canada I believe, while it's comparitively Arctic here in the Tweeddales <cough>. I often look up Charterhall weather just to see how the old neighbours are doing weatherwise. Enjoyed your Borders weather info btw. I recall the day when the BFTE arrived walking from Fogo and quickly got a bit scared and came home quickly with the girls, cheeks stinging from the howling wind and dry snow. Bliss.
  2. Crack of dawn this morning, the missus woke me holding her phone to ask if she could borrow a ruler. 4-5cm.
  3. Snowing all night by the look of it. Temps constant too 0C -1C. 4-5cm lying. I reckon a few degrees colder and there would have been twice as much at least.....not complaining mind!
  4. How were you this time last year? Currently great model watching. Exciting times.
  5. Strange few days. -10c to 9c to -2 c in 48hrs. Great winter so far though.
  6. It has been a great winter weather watching so far. I think it might get better.
  7. Back on track - phasing of the lows is going the right way for coldies. I don't think it will matter though. That might be a IMBY comment .
  8. Thanks for the UK map. I wonder what people living north of the UK are getting regards weather.
  9. Everbody here knows we could go zonal even with a SSW. Zonal is the norm for our little island in the atlantic. Models struggle to get to grips with SSW's. Why should members comment on a run likely to be wrong showing zonal ?
  10. Nope several runs showed it heading too far south, hitting southern France. That was after it looking a cert to arrow in on the UK. Cue the doom, same as now.
  11. I think some posters might have missed your location. For us cold starved paupers in the UK a meagre -5C 850 hitting out shore get's our snow hopes up. Below - 12C might be magic to you it is a near mythical to us. But we dream.
  12. To get very cold weather here in the UK is a memorable event and I live in (the snow usual suspects) Scotland. So I don't expect real cold, but I do enjoy it a lot when it happens. That it's a rarity, is the reason why I am here. Were this the 10th winter in a row of being blocked in by snow and nothing in the shops, perhaps I wouldn't like it. OK I admit that's a lie. The hunt for UK cold is always a game where the odds are stacked against you, why partake in it if you don't enjoy the hunt?, success or failure, it's lively, entertaining and informative in here. Many seem worn out. The weather doesn't owe us anything. My heart may sink a little when charts show little hope but I know tomorrow there is always another run and further chances. Keep hope coldies. Just don't expect too much. When the weather decides winters is over I will look forward to Spring. Winter is not over yet though.
  13. Good charts you're invisible, a slight backtrack to mild - you're in like a mild warm breeze. Nothing wrong with liking mild mate, just maybe not the thread for you, unless enjoying others disappointment is your thing? if so you have mates here.
  14. Or you mean Touche 168 ECM. So glad you are happy.
  15. Sorry Ravelin, my question of 'where?' to your post in the model thread was a snarky ironic reference to the whereabouts of the place called Scotland, not the position of the -14 850s. Reading that thread often I need to remind myself I'm not living in Suffolk. Although they like sheep there too I hear
  16. Pavlovs model readers. Each variation gets maximum response. Overall picture? who cares just feed me.
  17. Take yer eyepatch off yer eye then! After 240 is when the fun is expected to begin.
  18. I'm still very optimistic regarding a cold winter this year. At least we aren't in our normal, repetitious Atlantic grey grind winter weather pattern, far from it. Some exciting events happening above our heads and I'm bloody excited to see what happens however it turns out. Nice to be here to share it with you all.
  19. Just found this corner of NW. The graveyard thread. Without the holy or the holly. Like the corpse of winters past. Mild I say, mild! Ebineezer.
  20. Walked to that postbox with the family yesterday. Daughter built a snow hole in the drifts! Glad to get back in the end, bitterly cold. More snow overnight. Amazing.
