Snowboy111

Chasbrown for you maybe. August here, although not special, I spent most of it on the beach. September was lush. steveinsussex meteorological winter is 1st dec - end of feb

LRD March is the new Feb. Adamant the seasons have shifted a month on.

Remember the days of watching the farmers weekly forecast on the beeb on a Sunday and if it didn’t show cold for the week then the depression would be for 10 mins and I’d move on and wait for next Sunday. Looking at models every 6 hours to show the same doom and gloom is no good for your mental health. I get it’s the model discussion thread but having a meltdown over a chart that’s over a week away isn’t helping some people. 2013 was best case scenario. Didn’t look at any models at all for 10 days and 2 days before we got the big channel low snowstorm a colleague at work said ‘you must be happy, snow soon I see!’ The joy when I went online to look at the gfs.

I’d take it over a Greenland high any day of the week….

Going for a nap. Wake me up in 2 weeks. I expect good news !!

2013. Splitting hairs I know. !

2013 slide through northern France please. You know it’ll correct south

I’ll let you know how we get on ! I got work till 11pm so the drive home could be fun !

Just like their weather warnings, everything is last minute. Why ? Imagine the panic if they said ‘next week the uk hits the freezer’.

If that channel streamer does indeed setup it’ll be snow for us. We do really well with those. Some of our best snowfalls from them.

I was 6 at the time. Remember my Mum frantically waking me up at 2am to show the snow falling. Had a lamp post right outside the house and can still remember the thickest flakes coming down.

Flip flops unsuitable……..

Don’t see it personally. Certainly not 10. But tbf I don’t rate them as it is. Remember the snow warning of 2018? 30 mins then rain ! 2022 warning wasn’t much better either.

I see your Met office has issued us f10 this evening !

We had a foot of snow here. Was incredible. Riding home from school was fun

Remember. It needs to remain impartial. Gotta keep the summer people happy so it’s a halfway house……..

If it helps, I’ve just eaten 10 sprouts…..

I’m not really one to trust the gfs. It was showing a nice easterly as close as 3 days away back in November, out on its own, before it majorly backed down. I think it’s only good for predicting zonal conditions where zonal is already in place. And even then it’ll ‘dartboard’ a lot of low pressures. It’s good at showing easterlies in full on FI, but dire in 5-10 day frames. Just my opinion of course.

Perfect for a dumping in the channel. Bank that.

Also very funny cause even here we had snow .

Zero interest in chasing a greeny high. Never works out. Unless I’m seeing a Scandi high and a Genoa low then I won’t get any hopes up !!

Try 36!

Imagine if the Met released that statement. The meltdown in the tabloids would be incredible! They’d cause huge panic. And then if it didn’t happen they’d be hammered by the same tabloids. Not worth the hassle.

The beebs forecasts have been woeful for a number of years now. Models totally struggled with Thursdays low. How anything past Friday is to be believed is anyone’s guess.

Snap. I curse it always. Right now, Inside I got a brass band playing but my face is showing a stifled yawn !
