The streamers coming from the Cheshire gap would normally fill me with dread but this time it has delivered the goods big time.

It's stunning outside,

Hope you all get a dusting further south   

[Snow Reports | January 2017]

@00:20 Cheshire gap firing plenty of snow my way would love to stay up and watch further but time for bed.

[The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion]

Well, what can I say but SNOW has started to fall

[The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion]

Had a lucky escape this morning, tree branch came within inches of taking out my front windscreen.

Back home now brew in hand, pondering tomorrows out come with fingers crossed.

And seeing as i'm off for the next two days will be hoping for some white reason to go for a long long walk.

Stay safe out there and if you do get what you want enjoy and make the most of it

[2016 overview]

2016 will be quickly forgotten about sums up my feelings

But did enjoy the dry Autumn period which made a pleasant change from the norm.

Nearly time to roll the dice again, snake eyes or a double six, only time will tell.

[January 2017 C.E.T. forecasts]

I think i'll go for 3.4 please.

 

 

[Christmas day General Weather Chat]

Merry chrimbo to every one on NW

Freaky 11.1c WINDY but at least dry at present.

Birds in the oven, and yes i'm the chef

have a great one, one and all 

 

[Model Moans, Ramps and Banter]

Chin up everyone

Still on the cards for a colder period late month, maybe not snow for most but overnight freezing fog drifting over everything for a nice white rime coat is better than nothing surly

[December 2016 C.E.T. forecasts -- start of 2016-17 competition year]

I'll take 3.7 please

[The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion]

Today has been my worst  weather type nightmare, Vile all day. Can't stand this muck.

I can see crippling blizzards arriving over Christmas and heralding 4 months of frequent snowstorms with -20 uppers bombarding us from the north and east on a weekly basis. I expect most of the UK to be snowed in from December 28th to April 6th so panic buying from supermarkets is highly recommended . This cold spell will make winter 1962/63 look like December 2015

lassie are you in fact James the Mad-en in disguise.

 

Count me in please SQ1, always up for a bit of ramping banter

Shoppers warned not to venture out at 3am boxing day morning for the Next sale as Arctic blast predicted to turn uk into a fozen waste land.

Again no advance into Canadian plains.

But sea ice slight increase

[SNOW & ICE coverage in the Northern Hemisphere 2016/17]

Come on Scotland time to join the party for a while

southern Sweden still waiting but i suspect not for long

Finland now has it's winter coat on

Would be interesting to find out what temps the water in a triangular area between Northern Scotland, Iceland and Norway is currently 

Spent many happy years in that region carrying out hydrographic work

Only Alaska to go before we have cover 60N

Scandi filling up

[Autumn 2016]

For the past 13 years i have been going to a show in Telford that always falls on the rememberance weekend.

There has only been two years out of that time period that have been cold.

The last and best of those two was over 6 years ago when the temp was reading -7 when i left home

[Winter 2016/2017: Preliminary Prediction]

12 minutes ago, I remember Atlantic 252 said:

Dec, mainly mild and wet, PM air at times giving snow to hills, above average rain and temps

Jan, mainly mild, Atlantic lows to dominate, snow at times in Scotland as lows move away in the PM air, flooding possible, above average temps and rain

Feb, less mild generally, coolest month of the winter, snow down to low levels in the north during PM shots, wet, but not as wet as Dec and Jan

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I hope you are so wrong, cant take another Winter like that

[SNOW & ICE coverage in the Northern Hemisphere 2016/17]

Yes Nouska,

a far more pronounced growth in the advance of the annual snow fields north of 60, however i feel that this year we could see this reach 55 north.

Would love it to reach a lower latitude posibly 50 north but thats dream land at present

 

[Monday 31st October spooky General Weather Chat]

temp currently 10.1

light fog now starting to clear

[Fancy helping us test some new forum software?]

surely you wouldn't want to deny them their fix .

No I would not, really hope that all on the forum get a little bit of what they want, what ever comes our way.

Anything remotely like a good old fashioned late Autumn/ winter period should cover all the bases I think.
