It was such a fine day, took myself off to the Fife coast for a change. With no wind chill it felt nae caulde. The temp hovered around 7C-8C.
Pottered around Crail for a while:-
Room with a view/vertigo
Then moved on to Kingsbarns for a walk along the coastal path and a tasty snack at the Cheese Toasty Shack.
On way home the temp dropped sharply around 16.30, from 7C to 2C over a distance of 4miles or so. It's going to be a chilly night, I think.
That wee room is exactly the place that I would stick the nuggets on the mod thread in until winter is over

Aarrghhh why is living in Scotland so unfair blue skies and 7c almost spring like
Then i look in on the south east thread and it's all about snow.and in a few months it will be all about heatwaves droughts severe thunder storms .
Catch i wouldn't bother about Italy just go down sarf and buy yourself a 1 bedroom ex council house for your 1.7 mill and enjoy all the weather extremes

Maybe a question for the slightly more seasoned people on this forum.
One of the biggest snowfalls I've witnessed was in march either 86or 87 I'll always remember it for 2 reasons 1. It started snowing on the Saturday the day after the townsend torresen ferry sunk off zeebrugge 2.after almost 24 hrs of snow it turned to drizzle and with the wet snow on all the trees i remember standing at the back door of my uncles house and listening to all the branches and trees snapping every other minute unbelievable I've never witnessed anything like it since.
I was just wondering if this may have been just a local micro climate event or a more widespread event my memory is getting a bit cloudy

Awe does it not give you a warm fuzzy feeling seeing the excitement over the possibility of a few snowflakes in the south east of England.
Reminds me of watching my children in the run up to Christmas

Which is fine but the lack of warnings today and last week (in fact removing an existing warning just to issue another one AFTER the storm has arrived and already caused damage) is an entirely different kettle of fish. Not quite sure what is going on in Exeter.
Just like any other company when you lose a big contract (and a lot of money) it's usually the beginning of a slippery slope .
When things like this happen bad luck seems to follow .like maybe a flood or a fire breaks out?
I hope they have a good insurance policy. Certainly over the last couple of weeks the met office haven't covered themselves in glory

Really looking forward to work this morning and having to deal with the "at least it's milder" brigade
I didn't realize we had someone on here that works as a bbc weather presenter

Ahhh drizzle how i missed you
Seriously what a week this has been I've only been a member on netweather since 2013 and I've never witnessed this thread buzzing like it has this week. absolutely brilliant with the commentary and the photos and of course the Scottish banter.
Hopefully it will be the same again in 2 weeks time .I'm going back to work now to get some much needed rest

-6.1c just now which I'm quite surprised at seeing as there's 17cm of lovely squeaky snow on the ground and the temp was already -4 at 4 o'clock this afternoon

Another bleak mid winter day here in the trossachs ( well if your a mildie)
Snow has been on and off all morning 5cm on top of half inch of ice from last night bringing the total back up to 15cm on the ground again . It really has been a great winter's week.
I noticed they we're talking about avalanches in the alps next week obviously it's the Arrochar one's

Nicola sturgeon William wallace andy murry juddy murry jamie murry @Mr Frost wee tam and big shuggie ( Stirling council's finest bin men) your cold and snow is going to take one helluva beating

I've never managed to work out why cold weather forecast is greeted with the national disater tone that the presenters put on.
I really dont think it's the minority of people who want it judging by the amount of people on netweather and other weather websites.
Take last night's weather for the week ahead i thought the presenter was going to do a Norwegian commentator back in the 80s against england impression explaining that the mild weather is coming back next week.

O.k then who is it that wound up the dark side on the model thread yesterday because they've gone and put a sexual intercourse curse on the snaw tonight

Light rain temp 1.4c dew point 1

Does anyone have snow yet

Note to self
Always go into the regional thread first I've just caught up with all the downgrades in the mod thread then watched countryfile 5 day forecast and then popped in here.
Certainly doesn't look like bog standard winter weather this week .snow beginning in about 12 hours let the good times roll

Showing my ignorance here but does anyone know what this chart is referring to? from the ICON model apparently. Is it wind? (looks like forest fire)
I'm sure it's to do with the potential for having a hissy fit when your area is under an Amber warning for snaw and it all slides south .I remember seeing a similar chart in early December

Can't really get excited yet - BBC going for rain and muck for Monday and Tuesday while MetO going with Yellow warning for Snow.
Last night the beeb were showing 7c for my location on Monday today it's 5c i think 3c will be closer on the day
As they say in the mod thread the trend is our friend

The trossachs is the place to be next week. especially right in the middle of loch lomand and the trossachs national park .
There's got to be some upside to 4 months of warm drizzle and midges in the summer

Looking at the charts for next week it looks like the pattern is the same as what we had most of the summer and the saying that really became a major pain in the back passage the dreaded north/west south/east split oh well it is what it is

Latest model runs are out and it looks like winter is definitely over well after sat/sun /mon/ tue/severe frosts and probable ice days Wednesday possible snow event then a cold polar maritime flow which is always a terrible direction for snow here in scotty land .
It's just not fair why do we never get an easterly wah wah wah

Listening to the radio at lunch time and john Kettley was on talking about storm Eleanor. When he was asked about what we should be expecting in the next few weeks he mentioned the cold spell which is being discussed in the model output thread but then he went on to say that they were expecting another big storm to hit in about 10 to 12 days time. Its unusual to make such a bold prediction for our small island so far out dont you think?
I don't think it is a bold prediction .
On average in a british winter there's probably a wind storm every 2 weeks
