  1. Ok if you like short lived cool northerlies, which only deliver to the north of the Uk. I set my bar higher, its only from the east that floats my boat.
  2. I think there is every chance of a warm December, with temperatures well above average. I think the Russian high will play a big part in this.
  3. Yes, it's been a poor winter overall. So poor that certain members have been getting excited about possible north westerlies breaking out! That really sums it up! The latest charts show a trend to warming up for March.
  4. The latest charts show a northerly flow, giving wintry showers, heavy on North facing coasts at times. Scattered further south and inland. So generally a fine spell of weather coming up with temperatures slightly below normal with night time frosts. Later in the period it's looking like settled conditions may continue with frosts becoming harder but days fine and dry.
  5. lol, I didn't think Edmonton, London was on the south coast, correct me if I am wrong!
  6. Not sure it can be an imby post when I don't live in the UK! I am finding though that most people who are raving about the upcoming northwesterlies are mostly northern members.
  7. like I said, if it is more North easterly, sustained and a slacker flow, then it could be fun and games. Time will tell.
  8. I remember December 1981. The weather then was progressively coming from the east, so unless that happens next week, it won't be anywhere near as cold or as snowy. Northerlies never live up to their name!
  9. Another day of excellent charts coming up no doubt. All is looking great this morning but a word of caution. We have all been here many times before! I expect that when we get in closer range, everything will be shunted further east, leaving us under high pressure. So another non event on the horizon I feel.
  10. it's too early to get excited, northerlies rarely deliver to the majority of the UK, our best option is from the east. All our notable winters have come from the east, not the North or northwest. There are some signs of height rises to the north so fingers crossed.
  11. Remember folks, northerlies are always over rated. It might look good on the charts but the temperature modification, due to the expanse of water the northerlies travel to reach the UK usually make it a non event apart from favoured spots in the north.
  12. Just taken a look at the latest output. Goes to show how poor this winter has been for the coldies as people on here are getting excited about northwesterlies. I am hoping for more amplification to the north and North East which hopefully will bring true winter weather from the east.
  13. I can't see a chart that is offering anything other than marginal events. This is only a rather cold spell with rain, sleet and snow, the snow mainly over high ground up north. Temps on the rise during the week.
  14. Rain/sleet turning to snow as it clears south east, then easterlies. Need to see what happens after that to see if a real cold spell arrives. Look northeast for continued pressure building west.
  15. As I said yesterday, the lack of continental feed makes any snow prospects marginal. There needs to be a (Real) shift west for any snow chance improvements but as it stands this is an over rated cold spell. This mornings charts see a north west type influence so a wintry mix generally is this weeks offer. Maybe the Scandinavian high can save the day on future runs.
  16. I love these everything's further west comments we see with every run. So far on this run there is no real change at the moment. Our snow fortunes will only improve if we start picking up a continental feed. Time will tell.
  17. This is looking like a rain only affair apart from northern elevation. At least it'll be a fair outcome as we'll all have the same mush! Not sure tomorrow's charts will improve things.
  18. Must agree with the boring brigade, let's be fair most people on here look for snow in winter and fine warm weather in the summer. It's been very boring this winter with constant rain and wind which isn't a novelty!I couldn't imagine a forum called rain watch being as popular as snow watch unless you lived somewhere like the Sudan. I don't think several country wide snowfalls would impact financially on the UK as much as the current flooding which is going to cost over a billion pounds.
  19. Any break in the weather will help, even though water levels won't reduce. As I mentioned last week the charts will take on a more wintry flavour during the coming weeks. Look northeast!
  20. As I mentioned yesterday, wintry prospects will start showing on the models and will increase as the week goes on. Eye candy charts to come and they will verify!
  21. Start of the upgrades I mentioned earlier. Keep watching during the week for more wintry charts that will verify.
  22. Looking at the latest charts I would say a cold spell is pretty well nailed on for the second half of February. Expect to see some good signals and eye candy charts in the coming days.
