    I'm still going out wearing jeans and a tee-shirt!

    I was staying in Inverness back then, Bris, and I think the first sustained snowfall was sometime around December 18...I don't know how long it took to reach the southernmost parts of England, though?
  3. Methuselah
    Aye. Late November!

    I won't disagree with that at all, Fred; our old friend 'Scottish Glen' will be shivering in his boots, no doubt! I'm just saying that many of us Southern Softies might have to make do with sleet or wet snow, rather than the lovely dry, powdery, drifty stuff so loved by Network Rail??

    Agree with the 'no warm sectors' comment, er; but, are uppers of circa -7C really all that 'brutal'. I also agree on the obvious synoptic similarities with 2010, but where are the sub -12C uppers?
  6. Methuselah
    I promise to bank that chart - when and if it ever materializes. So help me Ga'ad! How's that?
  7. Methuselah
    No; they haven't!

    Quite correct, Chris; and added to that, in those far-off days of yore, purveyors of poo (like the Daily Fail and Daily Excrement) has readerships that were massive compared with those of today. Also, we had no Internet to help us sort the wheat from the chaff?

    On the contrary, kev, that is precisely what they are doing. What they're not doing, is what we tend to do (due to over-excitement in my case) on here - highlight those possibilities as though they are near certainties...
  10. Methuselah
    Exactly: apart from an increased likelihood, in favoured areas (Northern Isles, North-facing coastal regions in Scotland and England, attempting detail would be foolhardy at best (even for us on here); but, the MetO being two-flakes' short of Snowmageddon...and it's endless wittering-on about 'tax-subsidized super computers'!
  11. Methuselah
    And what a slating they'd get, in here, had they'd 'come on board' and forecast frost-fairs, only for reality to produce a three-day toppler?
  12. Methuselah
    Which is just about all anyone can say, with any certainty, at this juncture...Even if BBC forecasters started doing back-flips and cartwheels whilst presenting their forecasts, it wouldn't make it any more likely to snow???
  13. Methuselah
    Indeed Nick - over-analyzing isobaric kinks is okay of itself, but the broader picture is also important...And, anyhoo, forecasting the onset of cold weather is a lot easier than predicting its demise?
  14. Methuselah
    I know, and neither you nor I nor Mushy have written off this winter.
  15. Methuselah
    But it is a potentially wonderful synopsis; so wonderful it's nigh-on impossible to report on the models without inadvertently ramping...I just can't see anything getting in the way of the cold plunge!
  16. Methuselah
    What, that us snow-nutters are, well, nutters?
  17. Methuselah
    IMO, the CFS is about as useful as a chocolate teapot!
  18. Methuselah
    Make sure you don't upset the local velociraptor population???
  19. Methuselah
    There seems, I think, to be a common misconception afoot that suggests that a SSW is a prerequisite for PV-disruption...but I don't believe that anyone has ever suggested that: GP certainly hasn't and neither has Recretos? All they've said, to my knowledge, is that when and if a SSW were to occur, it would increase the likelihood of disruption, further down the line?

    Your wish is my command! https://forum.netweather.tv/forum/142-regional-discussions/?do=add
  21. Methuselah
    Here you go, Kate...Seeing as you asked so nicely!
  22. Methuselah
    I fear a downgrade!!!
  23. Methuselah
    I don't think folks have much to worry about: it's early-onset easterlies that tend to fail, IMO. Early-onset northerlies, by contrast (2009 and 2010) are far more likely to happen...Early-onset what?
  24. Methuselah
    Away helping a squirrel hid his nuts? Anyhoo, I don't know why some peeps seem to dislike knocks; he's one of our most reliable posters... But, that aside, it's not often we see charts so reminiscent of December 2009 and November 2010...Two cold spells that did come-off? So - ramp away!!
  25. Methuselah
    Prepare to be amazed MQ. Though I doubt it'll as fantastic as Xmas Eve 1995!
