Yet more grey. Fairly stiff, cool breeze. Very autumnal. Again. This constant blanket of cloud seems to have been over us for SO long, weeks and weeks with only the odd break in it. I can’t be the only one getting very fed up with this.
This has been 2021, utterly depressing from a weather point of view, just seemingly endless blanket of cloud. And now they’ve cultivated the fields (the lovely golden stubble only last two days) it really feels like autumn.
I’ve waited years for a decent easterly and......it’s a bit cold and there’s a frost. Disappointed and embarrassed that yet again my excitement has got my kids’ hopes up and made me look foolish!
The first proper easterly for years and it looks like it's not going to happen here (Saffron Walden). Being too pessimistic? I thought this is what we needed to get the winters of the 80s back with 6" thick ice on the pond and deep snow. Why is this still not the right conditions?
A summary of winter model threads since whenever:
Snowmageddon on Friday!!
Then Snowmageddon on Sunday!!
Then Bit snowy on Tuesday
Then Sleet maybe Thursday
Rain. It’ll rain.
As usual the snow events are always fairy stories. Basically after two weeks of snowmageddon wind-ups, it's going to be a bit cold. Like January. Why do I let myself be drawn into this?
