Eased right off here & a slow thaw has been ongoing for over an hour.....We are right in the middle of the Amber so it'll really have to go some to see us hit the minimum totals that have been given out......Had all that came down since 6 a.m. settled we might have been in with a chance of seeing 10cm

I'll not be popular but my Mrs could do with it not setting in 'bad' here until after 9pm Thurs......I keep trying to 'warn Her'....then she has 'Witchy Powers' over snow (it has appeared in past years?) so I'll apologise in advance if here, in W. Yorks, we need wait until around 9pm for it to set in proper like?....... She's 'off' on Friday so it can do as it pleases from 9pm Thurs!!!!

Antarctica Temperature Monitoring + Records
Gray-Wolf replied to Kirkcaldy Weather's topic in Climate Change
I was gonna say I've never seen so little ice but then we are at a record low so I haven't! I remember Weddell having a big polynia for a couple of years a few decades back but I've never seen that area so hammered as it is today As for the 'splendid isolation' the circumpolar's place the inner continent in? Well the Ozone hole used to mess with that allowing the katabatic winds to push out over the oceans so expanding the sea ice cover (oddly, back then, the climate change deniers looked at the perennial ice extent rather than the positive temp anoms inside Antartica?) -
Antarctica Temperature Monitoring + Records
Gray-Wolf replied to Kirkcaldy Weather's topic in Climate Change
So a record cold interior & record low sea ice/area around the coasts.....looks like the circumpolar winds are keeping that cold locked over the continent whilst outside that protective barrier the Summer warmth has cleared most all sea ice but the final rump of Weddell''s sea ice.... -

Major Hurricane Ian.
Gray-Wolf replied to matty40s's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
We've had no 'canes in the area this year & if Tampa is hit it will be the first time since 1921!!! Haiyan showed us the old 'thinking' needs revising as 'churned up waters from depth can, these days, still be over 80f & so continue to fuel the storm? -
Major Hurricane Ian.

Correct, running 2 to 3c above average & who knows to what depth? -
Major Hurricane Ian.
Gray-Wolf replied to matty40s's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
I think, over recent years, many forecasters have been caught out at the speed of 'rapid intensification'? I think the depth of water that is hot enough to fuel such is at play as even the Majors now churns up more 'fuel' for further growth? -
Major Hurricane Ian.
Gray-Wolf replied to matty40s's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Ian will keep his feet in the water as he lashes the whole of the Western side of Florida prior to a predicted landfall in the Panhandle I would not expect to much of a drop off in intensity if he does keep his core over the gulf? -

My name sake looks to be 'threading the needle' between Cuba & Yucatan so maintaining its strength as it enters the gulf This is just what Katrina did...... -
But Mother N. hates imbalance so will spread that heat around eh?
