  1. I’m not so sure of that GS, I would wait until Monday. ?
  2. It does make you feel that way with what is deemed acceptable as model discussion when the SE is in the firing line.
  3. We’re more likely to be plagued by plates of cloud, though the nighttime minimas would still be at freezing or below.
  4. The sad part is that you could almost say with some degree of certainty how that chart will no doubt verify. ?
  5. I’ve been a member of the cold club for most of my life but I feel like one of those unfortunate football supporters who is passionate about his team but his designated seat is next to a bunch of biased loudmouth drunks who shout everyone else down to get their POV acrosss. ?
  6. Is the MOD thread now just an extension of the regionals. ?
  7. Around here very little in the way of snow just endless cold grey skies. Hopefully it’s something similar to Feb91, that did deliver.
  8. I’m in my late 50s and can remember three which have. If you’re living near the Pennines or even further south of the region then yes you’ll do alright out of these but for everyone else you’re relying om the Atlantic making inroads and hopefully stalling ( like February 96 ) for your snow fix.
  9. I see the MOD thread has gone into orgasmic overdrive now their fabled Easterly is on the cards. Hopefully it fails like the rest of these hyped up jobs as for many of us in the NW won’t be seeing much in the way of snow or sunshine in that set up.
  10. Best snowfalll since 2013 around here, full whiteout conditions has left a couple of inches of snow. More on the way looking at the radar. Who needs a SSW. ?
  11. A real wintry mix here this morning but no settling snow as yet. Hopefully this afternoon and evening will see lower DP and BT and we at least manage a dusting, hopefully.?
  12. The MOD thread appears to be creaming it’s pants with a snowy Easterly affecting the SE in the outer reaches of FI. It’s a pity it’ll be gone later. ?
  13. Until we see the AMO switch to its negative phase around 2020 then anything coming off the Atlantic will always be more marginal than in a -AMO. Of course whether mans influence on the climate is worth discussing is another matter.?
  14. And he would still have an accident regardless of being forewarned.
  15. That’s exactly what I’m referring to by dumbing down for the masses. If it’s frosty and icy outside no amount of warnings will stop people from having accidents, back in the day warnings were only issued when bad weather was imminent not that it may or may not happen.
  16. People still die due to weather events, no amount of warnings will ever alter that fact.?
  17. I just hope it doesn’t deliver a cold spring, but then again the weather will do whatever the hell it likes to do. ?
  18. I come from a generation that didn’t have all this nonsense thrusted upon them and yet somehow we still managed to get on with it. I understand the warnings system but there really is no need for it but then we live in a safe space sort of world these days.?
  19. The whole warning system is designed for the modern day “I want it now generation”,totally useless and a backward step compared to yesteryear. I’m in my late 50s and the standard of forecasting has definitely been dumbed down for the masses to the point that I don’t bother to watch or read them anymore.
  20. A topsy turvy few days ahead with spell of rain closely followed by heavy wintry showers and like tomorrow some of these could give some of us a covering of snow. Lots of interesting weather for sure over the next few weeks.
  21. Thank goodness, who cares about the impacts of an alleged hypothesis in being correct. Back to the really important stuff now, will it snow IMBY. ?
  22. Not much in the way of proper cold or lying snow around these parts though the fells around have covering. Had a slight frost early this morning but the clouds built in bringing some patchy drizzle. Current temps aren’t all that cold either, currently showing 4c. I i think next weeks snow events will end up a big disappointment for many with a decaying front both Tuesday and Thursday proabably fizzling our as it crosses the region.
  23. Hopefully our Cumbrian residents see a covering of snow out of tonight’s little feature, fingers crossed.
  24. I think many are disappointed because at the start of the week this had our name written all over - 7c / -8c uppers DP at or below freezing and a unstable W/NW flow......... What could possibly go wrong.
