    Model Moans, Ramps and Banter

    I was genuinely saddened by the passing of summer this year as it was decent and protracted.  I knew that winter will bring months of nothingness ... which is holding true to form so far ...

    Despite our hopes, we all know that Christmas is usually grey and green.  Lots of ramping forecasts, falling by the wayside

    You see that towel over there? I just threw it in!

    Tired of following the model thread now and seeing potential snow and cold, so no more.  We just have to accept that in the UK - wind and rain are the dominating weather factors in almost all seasons and seems to be the over riding weather pattern as this planet's climate changes.  Last year, I had a day of transient snow here in Essex.  I don't think we will even see that this year.  Granted, have had 5 days more frost - feel so sad even typing that!

    I am just pleased that the fiction writers in tabloid newspapers who predicted a month of the Artic are now highlighted for who they are - story writers or fantasists.

    Having read different sources regarding this winter, think it is best concluded that no one really knows. Some say El Nino is dead set to give us weeks of snow and ice, others say the phenomenon has little impact to our position on this planet.

    Best to wait and see and keep calm

    A lot of people draw parallels between weather conditions now and how thinga panned out in winters past. Are they worth doing? Feels a bit clutching at straws to me...

    Hope this winter brings weather more akin to winter as opposed to a long drawn out 6 month autumn :)

    First thing Kent and most of Britain have got temperatures from 1 to 3C at this present time, and this was to be expected.

    Second thing, Snow will hit Kent, Sussex, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk for sure but its still over the low countries at this time and still far too much going on to say what the outcome will be. At this present moment it looks liek everything is falling into place on the mdeium and long range radar systems, short range such as your free 30 minute one at BBC and UKMO will not really show the snow at this moment, it will in due course but its out of that range. The front is coming this way, it is solid and it is moving about and growing in parts.

    The big unknown question is how much moisture it wil soak up in the north sea that is about 9C. If as forecast it grows quickly then "YES" we would get hit. The UKMO only have skeleton staff on Sunday's and the update will always be slow even for a warning they are holding on as they can not be 100% sure of timing now.

    I hope that clears all that up. Its thawing at Whitstable, but also keeps grain snowing as well, the whole of Kent is covered with flurries, but nothing signigicant at this moment.

    Thank you for the update.

    Lots of fruit and berries on the trees

    - :mellow: true this year: apples and plum trees are heavily laden

    I don't buy into nature offering indicators as to what lays ahead weather wise but I have to mention the pear tree in my parents garden. Gone totally mad this year. It has produced so much fruit this year, it is equal to almost what it normally produces in 2 years. They are already ripe and falling all over the place.

    I have had a couple of buckets of fruit already.

    Off topic but it is an unusual thing!

    This thread makes for very interesting reading.

    However, I reckon that we should take all this info with a pinch of salt. I read on this forum a fair bit and more times than not, Mother Nature rarely goes by scientific prediction in this day and age. Unsettled has been the theme since last November, apart from a summer feeling April/May, this unsettled theme has rumbled on and on and on and on in a very seasonless kind of way.
