seaside 60

It may be boring weather wise, however this suits me fine. AT last my garden is drying out, I dont have a cold wind blowing. In the sun I can think spring is coming and got a good day doing some gardeining, which was impossible last year and the year before.

HOw different are those two models, quite impressive really. I think we all know which one is more realistic...

On what I have read in here, shouldn't that mean we should be experiencing, more in the prospects of "colder weather" types or at least knocking on our doorsteps. Ok, Nick S has sort of answered that....

Above where you type the reply. There is a row of icons. Look for the round yellow smiley face, click on it and you will have a choice, like so.

Sorry week 3 is yonks away. It also goes against most of what I have read on here during the last few days, which is also yonks away. All models have to be written about, but how about something more useable like the next week, which is also yonks away in reagrds to model accuracy.

If you are young enough to burn the candle at both ends, then hit the slopes and bars at ST Anton. Pretty much all you want there, if you can handle it lol.. The first time I went there I came back a total wreck... You can ski from St Anton to Lech, which is the very posh part of the area, its very groomed there.. If you want a much relaxing trip then head for the quieter resorts in Austria, I still think it has the best apres ski and has some of the best scenery. As Blessed mentions, some of the Austrian resorts are quite low.

One would think that any high that gives the south any wind from the south/south east to north east, in fact any light continental drift, if western europe goes into the freezer will make it colder than what it is now.

It an observation for this little corner, built on years of weather. It works the same in spring, the models cant work out local areas. Anyways that the reason and its going OT.

Always the same scenario, down here in the south east after a cool/cold spell for most of the country the models show less cool/cold weather as mentioned by many on here. However I bet that the temps down here will actually stay the same or get colder, The temps have been modeled/promised far to low, I would suggest it would be colder down here after the next weekend.

I could also add, where the hell is the crystal clear northerlies we should be having with temps well below at night and barely above during the day. WHich nation is spawning cloud making over the artic......

You cant argue its not cold in the wind, however temps have just not dropped low enough here period. Its the learning curve that the more experienced on here and MO should need to learn from. Lets face it by now I was expecting temps to be 1/2c even forgetting the snow. More sun as well, its just pretty poor show basically.

If we continue to get these rouge runs, then I think the people that say its a sure bet that we will just get a dirty high with cloudy murk and slowly rising temps are off the mark. Having said that the models temp profile for this last few days and next couple has been well of the mark.

Have you noticed, it seems to me that the mornings runs are more on the milder side and it gets colder towards the evenings runs.

Seems to be heavier than forecast yesterday and early this morning.

Rain sleet and snow now, yukkkk

Just started to rain here, but by the coast so thats life.

Now that is heaven, lol...

On reading what some of the more professional peoples on here have said. I cant really understand why some people seem to think its going to be zonal type weather, just because of a few cherry picked charts.. February being the least zonal of the winter months and with lots of background signs for it to be at least settled and cold for many of us, this seems to be on a lot of the further outlook charts.

Thanks for that, shame the UKMO had a better looking profile for it to go under. One can always hope.

Simple question, on that chart, what is stopping that low in the Atlantic sliding underneath the high and propping it up. It seems to have a negative nose edging se wards.

Would say Feb 91 or Dec 10. If it was one of the people who craves for mild options one of those Feb's where it got to 16/18c lol..

On that chart it seems that the whole Atlantic is high pressure with 2 big cells. Also you could say the Azores high is replaced with a low pressure of 1010.

Playing devils advocate, you could also go the way of my highlighted text.

I cannot for the life of me understand why you not skiing in that. Looks like an average day here in Essex. :rofl:

A nice surprise fall of snow here. ENough to cover car and grass, in a nice white cover up. Roads wet, cant see it lasting beyond mid morning. At least kids happy. Now for the real deal soon, the dry non melting stuff.
