    Cold Spell Discussion 5

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    Does anyone know why when there is a decent easterly snow showers always make it into Yorkshire first? In Feb the heaviest snow showers were predicted by the GFS to start coming into Yorkshire first and the latest GFS run is showing again showers coming into Yorkshire first , it tends to be the case around 70-80% of the time, anyone know why that is?

    A combination of being close to the North Sea AND being on high ground??? :clap:

    lol.....the programme they made on the snow for last FEB was over the top to extreme...

    Dont know if any can remember it but it was like we were all going to freeze to death...Forget about global warming :lol:

    anyway Im down for 25,000 flakes this week I think Pete your down for 15,000

    lol

    Well dogs, even 15,000 flakes'll be better than last winter's pathetic performance...The Press has no sense of proportion!! :good:

    Well it's my turn to moan now. I was hoping for an easterly to give us a pasting like i had in 87 i thought this time it was our turn. We in the TRUE SE never got the amount of snow others got last year and miss out quite a lot contrary to popular belief.

    This set up promised so much earlier than ever and now looks as though we will miss out again.

    The only fact i can be pleased about is the fact i will still be able to get my christmas shopping sorted out and get my ffod in wereas the folk up north may well be snowed in. lol

    Next time maybe

    lol SQ1! Do you know what I got from last Feb's 'snownanza'? (There's a song there?) Zilch!! That's what... :lol: :good:

    Anyhoo, it's far-too early to be writing things off yet...Wait for future developments? :rofl:

    hi WhiteXmas there is still a chance there is only around 8 miles between us i think 50-50 chance we just need to hope that this easterly is strong enough

    i hope i said that the right way? but interesting times ahead

    I'd certainly hope that, after meandering its way all the way to Glasgow, it could traverse another eight miles to Paisley??? :cold:

    Really folks! Some of the doom-and-gloom is really quite surprising... :lol:

    As an old fart, I can still recall the run-up to the megablizzard of 1969 (in MK)... For two days' prior to the event, we had to endure a cloudy fresh-to-strong ESE wind with daytime maxima of around +1C and minima around -1C!

    Come-on peeps, when was the last time we saw these (potential!) synoptics evolving??? 8)

    What Is Causing The Warming ?

    OK. But did I ever present that article as anything more than one study into one area of the world? Have I ever said there has been no warming? As far as I know, never.

    If you'd read my post properly (maybe my bad?) you'd have realized that I was comparing the approaches employed by sceptics (LIH) to those of deniers (OMG! All the data must be a priori gerrymandered!)...I wasn't pointing the finger at you, at all... 8)

    An amazing run at T120 you often didnt see that at T3840 !

    Looks like It's coming home

    Everyone seems to know the models

    We have seen it all before

    This time they just know They're so sure

    I don't think we are going to

    Throw it away

    or that low will be blown away

    But I know these models can play

    GFS on the shirt

    Easterly still gleaming

    God 1979 30 Years of hurt

    I Never stoppped me dreaming

    So many jokes, so many jeers re FI and all that

    But all those oh so nears

    Wear you down

    Through the modelling years

    But I still see that

    Easterly we had the

    blizzard that scored

    Yes looks like its coming home

    lol Stew...A bit 'FI' isn't it??? :yahoo:

    Lol Pete, we should really add a 1c-2c maybe 3c discrepency on 1962. The climate is warmer- right?

    That's why it's so interesting, IMO...I'm not pretending to know what'll happen in any detail, I've had my fingers burned too-many times in the past, for that! :yahoo:

    Maybe, just something to keep an eye on? :yahoo:

    That southward-sinking 'warmer' sector forecast for midweekish next week is interesting. With all that residual dry cold air languishing over England ahead of it, I'd expect/hope to see some quite widespread (though probably not heavy) snowfalls as a result...Wasn't the snowfall of Boxing Day 1962 the result of something similar?? Indeed, would the 'warm' sector be long-lasting enough to cause much of a thaw??

    All very interesting...The devil is in the detail! :yahoo::yahoo:

    LOL just because it isnt looking so rosey for the south now its a downgrade :w00t: Looking good for us up north though :unknw:

    Some people need to remember that england doesnt stop at brimingham. Overall its still looking good for the uk as a whole though dont u think?

    And, Britain doesn't stop at Hadrian's Wall either... :(

    I haven't seen much in the way of 'downgrades'??? ;)
