Weather headlines are out..although judging by the comments peeps more and more are getting fed up with them and increasingly “it’s winter what do you expect” post seem to appear more. But really who writes these headlines .. brits urged to brace the cold? Urge? Why urge? Brace yourselves it may be a tad nippy. Keep the gloves and hat on.. maybe .. but urge? http://huffp.st/ONSUPhZ ... rant over .. -
Just love that post. You may not be as knowledgeable as you say but you have interpreted to the layman or laywoman. That is a skill.
-
I remember reading it somewhere but can’t remember where ha ha! I’ll have a look.
-
Didn’t GTLTW ( gottilovetheweather) moderate? Haven’t seen him on here for age. Miss his posts.
-
What’s the limit and when does it reset? It must reset surely?
-
Superstar! Much better - Yep and Wikipedia gave a definition (which I should edit to yours ). “A sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) is an event where the polar vortex of westerly winds in the winter hemisphere slows down or even reverses direction over the course of a few days. The change is accompanied by a rise of stratospheric temperature by several tens of kelvins.

Not the 12z, but as we regionals are kind and helpful, with this strato warning and vortex breaking up.. I didn’t get what the SSW is? Any enlightenment here by anyone too would be fabby.
-
Yes!! How wonderful!
-
Aww khodds.. bless you. Go and share loan one near you.. saves the bank balance a bit then.. it was lovely and I normally ride in all weather ( except ice on the roads) , but today i did get a bit hmm that’s getting a bit too chilly. The horse though was loving it and well lively.

Sunny and bright this morn when I took the Ned out for a hack. Half way round and over comes that cloud, and god that north wind was biting. Forgot just how a North easterly goes right through the thermals.
-
Wait long enough and you’ll be able to pick up the yellow sticker items. snowmaggedom ready at half the price.
-
? look here’s the Sunday snow . just passing Swindon en route to Devon... look out for em snowflakes
-
“Ice and a slice” .... damn I want to change mine now.. why can’t we have a sub name to use each season under a main one..
-
Whatever you truly think will happen, will not happen... I’m going to freestyle the weather this week... que sera sera..
-
Indeed, whilst I’ll be dissapointed our pesky easterly will block our action in this synopsis, I’ll raise a glass to our Devon and Cornwall members if they get some snow. Fingers crossed.
-
Before the gin, I understood it to be colder, maybe some snow Tuesday, then maybe less colder, maybe not some snow, some ice, or not , maybe rain or not.. after the gin, it’s still colder, maybe not, maybe rain , maybe not... am gonna wait now til next week and just enjoy all you company.. as we wait
-
You have some and don’t drink it? ..noooooo...... ! .. it’s wonderful with any weather discussion
-
Looks deeeeeluxe. Yum yum yum yum .. can’t seem to post my photo of wilderer gin. It won’t let me. How rude!
-
It’s South African apparently but it came from the naked wines .. so they are all small exclusive companies or something or other... there was another gin too I was bought so I may have got it confused. That’s a point where is that other gin bottle? ... must go find that tomorrow
-
Weather and gin in the same discussion. No wonder this thread is the best.. fantastic . I was bought some wilderer gin at christmas. Divine doesn’t come close. Think it needs to join me next week as the cold week unfolds.. or not unfold .. whatever..
-
Got a trifle confused when someone posted they were fed up with all the north south rubbish - I thought blimey that M4 again is being quite the antagonist - Then I realised I looking at a post on the Mad thread. I see the radar is showing sleet for some parts of south central. We’ve still only rain... I don’t think it feels too cold either. (Probably just down to the large slabs of toblerone I have devoured..)
-
So Tuesday was showing as snow at about 9am this morn.. now looking cold and bright
-
And rain south of the M4 too..
-
Had a quick peek in the Mad thread trying to get up to speed. Anyhows, all I can tell is it seems Tuesday could be back on again. (Obv not for our region! ... ) and the only post which made sense (to me) across five pages was dear Steve Murrs. (Have posted a screen grab as can’t seem to provide a link to his post)

Ha ha.. thought someone has literally lost it and pulled the plug on em all..
