just been in the "the world is over summer in the SE has been poor thread" never seen so much OTT posting and hope casting outside of the winter forum. it's been an average summer here in Midlands and a good summer further north and west, shame the IMBY posting regarding SE has ruined summer forum as well.

maybe he can see the charts but doesn't really understand enough to break them down, so enjoys the commentating and breaking down of the charts by others here in forum?

was dry and nippy/fresh, nothing to really remember, trouble is this forum turns into the express as soon as the wind direction has a touch of E in it. 2 for snow 4 for cold, overall a good winter tho

This cold spell has really been a big anti climax. Built up to be the worst of the winter, copious amounts of snow . Named by many the beast of the east. Well in birminggam it's been crap. The snow a week or so ago was far better lasted longer let the kids play in it, and wasn't ramped up half as much as this one.
only gets ramped up because the members in the SE think it's "the day after tomorrow" everytime an east wind blows...I swear I saw Dennis quaid in SE thread last week warning the globe of an imminent global freeze

Doesn’t seem to be as big an issue in the far south/south east of Stoke. We are a bit less sheltered, I think. Best snow cover I’ve seen this winter though has been up in Apedale. Beautiful up there, and the snow cover lasts longer than where I am thanks to the extra height. Park Hall, just a couple of miles from me is similar.
meir heath is highest point in city and only a couple of mile from you. stand on the top of the common and look all the way to the Welsh hills west and all the way down the trent valley east. grew up their and apart from leek & buxton nothing comes close especially in marginal events

I’ve noticed a lot of times this, winter when I’ve had snow down here, the radar has shown snow all over Stoke only for people in other parts of the area to report no snow. Don’t understand it
I like to think the whole area is getting it, so it’s disappointing.
when it comes over the peaks you get a shadow effect. shows precipitation and it isn't actually doing anything. bit like a couple of weeks ago showed bright on the radar for persistent heavy snow and it was light/moderate at best. same colour echoes to the east of the peaks and heavy snow. we had 2 inches here yet the other side of the hill in alton they had 6inches..just the way it is up here mate NW is best or a failed breakdown and we are the northern most point before the front gets pushed back.

new fax chart posted in the NWest thread for later has 3 distinct areas showing on the east coast not sure if they will get anywhere near the region but more life on the fax chart than earlier

steady fluffy snow all morning light dusting at best...another "easterly day after tomorrow event". thankfully I think we will survive! nice to look at but bit of a yawn fest as expected...give me a Cheshire gap streamer anytime

don't think we will hit to be honest. but I think it highlights if you do get in a line of a streamer then it will be pretty special

Being honest I find the difference Alsager and say Talke lights by the Toby fascinating. I live just down from the lights off the A34 in Butt Lane, however many times I been on a taxi job from Alsager with no Snow to Snow at Talke. Just that little bit of extra height.
meir heath is a different world compared to the rest of stoke on trent. grew up there and being 250+m up is insane driving home rain Hanley rain longton sleet meir and white out conditions meir heath used to love it as a kid not being able to get to school and the school in stone not believing we were snowed in only 5 miles away

just been in the SE/MOD thread I see the Mods are still blind to the absolute lemon that is posted in it. endless imby crap it laughable. it could be the coldest winter ever recorded north of London and it would be classed as rubbish because it didn't happen in the weeble of the UK. this site has really gone to lemon this year in the main threads. used to be do informative now its like the chimp enclosure at the zoo. shame

Don't let Matt see that, the only place it misses is Stoke lol
always is crap with an easterly wind in stoke...never understood the digital orgasms over the beast from the east! cold grey and bland prefer a NW streamer anytime
-
snow is steady here in ST3 nowhere near as heavy as radar echo shows tho. 5mile away in stone they have a couple inches so band is very localised and narrow

Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter

my point is it should be in this thread not the model thread...but everyday you go in to learn and scroll through endless moaning and endless plume posts because 1 operational shows it, followed by more moaning after the following run doesn't! how is anyone supposed to learn and improve knowledge. I'm ok with models but honestly sometimes it's beyond desperate. if it was winter people would be moved left right and centre to the moans thread. I recommend this site to so many people who have an interest and it's been very poor last couple of months. the weather has been benign yes but worth the endless moaning about grey skies????
