Glad you said in the main because this was south yorks on boxing day evening in 2014 and stayed on the ground for a few days FB_IMG_1545905506514.webp

Unless you were one of the lucky ones and got a couple of sneaky sliders like we did in south yorkshire, christmas 2014 and again last year.

You know even if some people were to have 18 inches of snow, they'd still moan and groan it wasn't 2 feet!

Fair enough mate but it's not Prozac time yet is it? lol

I don't think many were all that surprised when December didn't do anything but are you actually going on record to write the whole of the next 10 - 12 weeks off for any serious cold or did you just mean the next couple of weeks?

Which makes you wonder why all the doom and gloom. I haven't been privy to this thread over the years like many on here have but with the background signals being much better this winter, god knows what states people have been in other years.

Any reason why you think that?

Yes Crosspool always seems to be a bit of a magnet when there's snow around.

4 years ago today. Ruskin park, Sheffield S6. Still argue with people today who don't believe this happened as it was such an isolated incident, people only a few miles away didn't see a flake and we got loads.

I find it very odd that even tho there are many weeks of winter still to go, three distinct camps have become firmly entrenched in here this last week or so. We've got the it's only a matter of time til the blockbuster charts emerge clan, the let's repeat ourselves over and over how dross the current output is folk and the winter is over brigade. Who'd have thought the hunt for cold could be so divisive, makes it so difficult for the layperson to understand.

Sadly the same could be said about your incessant mild ramping in a cold weather thread

Was just about to say the same thing. As a newbie wanting to learn, the recent wind-up posts are really not helpful and i'm getting fed up of having to weed out the chaff just to get to the more knowledgeable posts.

Yes we need it to start buzzing asap because the pessimism on this thread just lately is really starting to grind.

Long time thread reader, first time poster. I was just wondering how people can brush the various models, charts and experienced input from posters under the carpet and simply say nothing more than it's a hunch or gut feeling. I'm not singling folk out here as the gut word is peppered all through these various threads but it begs the question what are these comments actually bringing to the table? If a hunch turns out to be correct and you've not actually based it on anything then what has it proven? and how can we learn from it when there was no reasoning behind the decision! Would a bank manager give you a business loan if you just turned round and said i've got a hunch it will be a success? No, he'd want a detailed business plan first, besides, are we not all here to learn/enhance our weather knowledge or just out for the "i told you so" when our gut wins for once.
