I came across this video a couple of hours back: It's not only Climate Scientists who are routinely assailed by idiots, anti-science is fast becoming a modern-day curse.

I don't know about pancakes, but this will (according to some) be my cat, this time next week:

This week's Deep Dive hints at a possible cold spell following the expected SSW. How cold? Well, that's still up in the air, so to speak:

 DJ Fart Aye, it's amazing what the promise of eight days' continuous snowfall can do! 

[Mild September = A Mild Winter?]

 Weather Enthusiast91 So are mild Septembers: we are, after all, in a run of successive warm years, globally, and that's got to be more to-the-point than a thirty-day stretch that we humans have chosen to call September?

 North-Easterly Blast But it's not even a theory, it's like tossing a coin ten times and being amazed when you don't get five heads and five tails. . .

 raz.org.rain  It's looking like things could quite balmy as next weekend come along:

Well, I'm yet to see any evidence (compelling or otherwise) that warm Septembers cause mild winters. . . If it were that simple, the UK Met. Office would be on it like a flash?

 Tamara IMO, it's such a shame that all some peeps want to do is blame someone else. . . It's obvious that, despite the veracity of teleconnections, other confounding variables are at play here: our climate is being put under increasing pressure by GHG emissions, so is getting ever more difficult to predict?

I am not about to 'shoot the messenger'! 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Well, I got precisely what the Met. Office predicted -- an hour or two's sleet and torrential rain.

What about the Devonshire farmers who lost lots of sheep during the January 1968 blizzard, eh?

Warnings are precautionary, that's all; they are not guarantees of x-cm of snow in anyone's back garden!
