    Thank goodness for the European Regional Development fund!!!

    Without their funding I would not be sat here feeling this comfy after looking at rainfall totals over the coming 36 hrs (Esp. after seeing West Germany/NE France recently!!!)

    I feel sorry for all points downstream of Us as we just ship our excesses straight down to them!!!

    I'd expect some new places flooding if it does rain so hard, for so long, before the event is over?

     Azazel I guess I picked the wrong month to go bare legged in My Kilts......a tad raw & windy around me trossachs I can tell You!!!

    I've normally had a least 1 hammock day by now, sometimes in March, but not a bloody chance this Year so far!

    Luckily I found a 'accidental bar stool' for my 'accidental Bar' so I can pop out and make use of the sunny ten mins we get allotted from time to time!!!

    If the lack of Saharan dust over the Hurricane season is a result of the impacts of the lowering of Ship Sulphur Emissions would we not expect it to continue this year and, in fact, be more 'settled' in the new role?

    If the dust isn't heading for the Caribbean then is it bound due North for Western Europe?

    Saw some piccies of N. Italy snowfall with two thick layers of Saharan dust embedded within it from the Easter weekend Plume they saw there?

     

    Obviously air from the Sahara wont just be carrying 'dust'.....

    I'm certainly keeping my eyes peeled for 'African Plumes' this Summer!! (eeeh, they used to be 'Spanish Plumes' when I were a lad!)

    Mild September = A Mild Winter?

     Methuselah Well we had Ducks walking on the Canal at the end of November so that was Winter 'binned then! (according to the old sayings)....."Ice in November to carry a Duck....the rest of the winter will be mild & muck...."

    I'm now waiting for my tree lore to see how Summer goes.....Öak before Ash....in for a splash.....Ash before Oak....in for a soak....

     

    (Ahd 'YES' take with a large pinch of salt!!!)

    Seeing as were 3 miles from the border I always check out the NW thread & someone, on that thread, has pointed out that precipitation coming off the Seas off West Wales & growing as they hit NW Wales.....If I take a bead they look bound for Gtr M/c & us later on in the afternoon?

    Maybe they'll 'snow out' B4 they hit here or maybe the Hills will 'wring out' the last of the precipitation.....we'll see!

    Really frigid temperatures overnight. I run a bakery, the ovens are loaded and it's -6/-7 outside. A really hard frost, really beautiful. The weather has been superb the last few days, a little snow and plenty of sunshine and very cold. Perfect! Hopefully a little snow in The Pennines tonight/tomorrow, but we'll see what we get. I'm flagging a race in Mytholmroyd later, so I know it'll be tough getting the flags in the ground later.

    I can conftrm You'll have a job getting the flags in!

    If you're up towards the Mount Skip it'll have the sun on it otherwise fetch a jack hammer!!!

    From being borderline 'Yellow', here in the upper Calder Valley, we are solid 'Amber' for Friday/Saturday!

    There isn't a Day I'm not grateful to the 'European Regional Development Fund' for their 'dibbing in' on the costs of our Flood Defences!!

    If we see a flood event that overtops them then the whole Valley bottom, buildings/roads/bridges, will be lost!

    Sadly all our defences do is ship the problem downstream where they have not had works done &, under this regime & minus Europe, will not

    There is some sense of Karma in that it is our tory MP, who lives in the 1st place that will see such 'inherited Flooding' (Brighouse?), after He twice voted against funding our works.....

    Stay safe Folks.....DO NOT enter flood waters!!!

    The goal posts will be moved again nearer the time ,just like the rest of the global warming stuff....!

    Correct (IMHO?)

    Since the first IPCC report how many of the 'Pledges' have been kept?

    Thatcher/Reagan ushered in this 'new age' & their opening the door to 'Unfettered Neolib Capitalism' has lead to their absolute control of Global agendas....none of which include saving our World....

    As been said it’s only 9 years since Antarctica had its highest sea ice extent on record for satellite era . Why did the sea ice extent rise so quickly in a supposedly Global warming era? Is this a natural cycle …….

    Could contain:

    They tell us ut was a direct result of the Ozone hole messing with the Katabatic winds pushing ice further out from the coast (like the 'ice factory we saw in Bering straights, Spring 2012?)

    Like many things though (incl. the Nino in progress?) warming eventually overpowers such forcings & takes over as the main driver?

    This is a disastrous start to the melt season there with an area 5v times the size of the UK accepting Solar from the 'get-go'

     

    If the Southern hemisphere takes over where we in the north left off (it seems so with the spate of heatwaves already suffered by that Hemisphere, NZ being the latest & it's only just Equinox???) then they will have their own 'Heat Domes & Ocean Heatwaves all of which will have interactions with Antarctica.....oh Yeah....& a Super Nino thrown in for good measure?

    Let's see how fast the Ice that did form goes away?

    The Sea ice dampens out swells from the Southern Ocean storms so protects the Ice shelfs from impacts (remember what waggling that loose tooth used to do when You were a nipper?)

    If The Southern Hemisphere follows our summer Ocean temp experience then we also have those impacts to contend with?

    Well our 'Summer weather (in the N.H.?) appeared to be a continuation of what the South saw over their Summer so will the S.H. 'Winter' also be a guide for what we ought to expect over our Winter?

    If we do have a slow/interrupted 're-freeze' then I think we need worry about what the Nino Summer of 24', & the melt season it will influence, will bring us?

    I think it's enough to say it's been a bonkers 6 months across both Land & Ocean in our Hemisphere & that it is doubly difficult to imagine just 'What' the culmination of it all will be
