    Hoping for a dry warm spring here...spring tends to be cool and wet in Alberta and is my least favourite season of the year..no doubt it will snow of and on up to the middle of May as per and mosquitoes will abound come June

    thats because your more likely to be leaving work or school at 4-5pm this is why it is more noticeable in January ...your less likely to be out and about on a daily basis at 10pm at night in July so you notice it less.

    About 20 minutes

    none i would have thought if your looking for cold and snow
  5. cheeky_monkey
    yep went from -40c and more with the windchill here last week to +8c this week...you gotta love North American weather
  6. cheeky_monkey
    This chart has retrogression written all over it...esp combined with the synoptics across N.America at the same time frame.

    Did we? i remember the bleak snow free years of 1997-2009..they were shocking and the very mild snow less winters 1988-91..its not unusual for the UK to go 4 or 5 winters with no snow...and never has been..anyway if there was lots of snow each year like here in Canada you soon get bored of it as it becomes the norm.

    Back in Edmonton..my first day at work and its cold -21c and snowy..oh the fun

    You could pick out the obvious Feb 1978, Dec 78, Jan 79 Dec 81 etc..but lets not forget epics like Feb 1990 or 1998.and Dec 15..Dec 91 was interesting due to some very cold and severe frosts yet not a flake of snow

    I would agree although I wasn't living in the UK in 2010 so it would only be 1981...although December 1978 was quite snowy esp at the end.
  11. cheeky_monkey
    I would agree about 2014 & 16 neither were hot summers..warm with some short lived hot spells thrown in..but not in the same class of a proper hot summer..where heat is sustained for long periods of times..im not sure about summer 2017..it has the potential to be a hot one..really depends how spring pans out.

    I lived all my life in the UK up to the end of 2009...as the Canadians say winters 97 -09 sucked big time
  13. cheeky_monkey
    I would say the period 1997 - 2009 where the worst run of winters in my lifetime for cold and snow without a shadow of a doubt...only Feb 09 and Dec 09 saved the decade of 00 from being possibly the worst on record.
  14. cheeky_monkey
    Certainly not a given!! I for one have seen enough snow to last a life time...sunny and dry is my preference all year round TBH

    Moving back to Canada first week in January anybody have any links for the winter forecast for western Canada?
  16. cheeky_monkey
    yes a marked turn round in the NH atmosphere set up in the last 36 hrs...PV now looking to set up in the usual position..the pacific ridge is leaking away back south which will just reinforce the set up...bad news if your looking for a cold blocked outlook this side of the Atlantic..and will take some shifting if it shifts at all..if so better luck next winter!

    I'm moving back to Edmonton next month...there the average number of days of lying snow annually is an eye watering 133 days!
  18. cheeky_monkey
    ill think you will find the chart is annual snow lying days not just December... in that case then 2.2 would be about right for December if the annual rate is 5-10.
  19. cheeky_monkey
    i saw this coming see my post in the winter moans thread yesterday
  20. cheeky_monkey
    Higher chance of getting murdered though..anyway too hot in the summer..plus you soon get fed up of cold and snow and the back breaking shovelling
  21. cheeky_monkey
    I really don't understand the obsession with snow?????????...I had to drive from Calgary to Edmonton last week and woke up to find it was throwing it down with snow and my car was partly buried with snow..not only do then have to spend time brushes my car off..i had forgotten the hair raising experience of driving up the highway in the dark in white out conditions..at that point I was thinking roll on spring..just make it stop for the love of god!
  22. cheeky_monkey
    it wont it and will get cold take my word for it..im expecting a cold last week of December and a below average Jan and Feb..take it from one that knows..
  23. cheeky_monkey
    According to some on this forum it has been Autumn for the last 3 years..its the only season that exist these days...so its always Autumn.
  24. cheeky_monkey
    Definitely not Nov 1994 which is the warmest on Record...1993 was on the whole cold and wintry
  25. cheeky_monkey
    has been a remarkably dry October thus far where I am and the models don't show that changing
