    Looking at the GFS model into Jan, looks promising to me. Ties in with some of the major forecasts. Surely some optimism for Jan??
  2. Rob 79812010
    Let's not!!!
  3. Rob 79812010
    Net Weather Monthly seems pretty confident for cold and snow chances increasing towards mid Jan. The language gives some confidence to this

    I've always loved winter. Preferably cold and snowy. I get a bit down in summer if it's wet and dreary. Doesn't bother me in slightest in winter though
  5. Rob 79812010
    I love learning about the models and analysing patterns. I know very little but have learnt a few things. Keep the education going. I imagine in our neck of the woods it's only to be expected that forecasts will sometimes be wrong. Especially longer term. All good though

    Know what you mean but first half of 70's were all pretty mild. Cold winters came in late 70's. 80's were cold but honestly in my neck of the woods they were rubbish for snow. 81 the exception. Manchester has had more snowfalls in recent years ie 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023. Actually Nov 19 was a good one too. 2010 probs the best in my life. Why more snowfall now I've no idea. Maybe the old adage, ' it was too cold for snow' in 80s Meant Nov 21

    The 2009 and 2010 winters best for me since 79. Mod 80's pretty much snowless bar odd one for Manc. Manc winters have never been good really other than the famous ones Weirdly, we seem to get more snow events than when I was younger. Never much though

    Dec 10 was incredible. There were actually some mild periods and it still came out -1 below mean. Coldest December ever? The cold periods were crazy cold Sorry minus 1 average temp for month
  9. Rob 79812010
    Yeah, I found some really detailed daily records at the time. In 63 it was the depression from the Arctic moving south which gave everyone a lot of snow. Not sure Manc had much after that. I dread the fronts moving Sw to Ne. Always good for Yorkshire but crap here. Manchester does well from Irish Sea snow showers. Gotta be quick though otherwise rain

    I'm very much enthused by this sites latest monthly and their reading ofbthe models going into January. They are seeing real potential deeper into Jan for cold and snow chances. Bearing in mind the possible back loaded winter potential, this looks very eye opening to me. Could all be wrong or course!!!
  11. Rob 79812010
    I always hope they've forgotten when I tell them its gonna freeze. To be honest, I don't think they listen anyway!!
  12. Rob 79812010
    I was working in Leeds and had to drive back up the motorway hill to Hudds Took 7 hours but apparently Fiestas good in snow!! Was certainly a memorable one. The 80's was a funny one for Manchester away from elevation. Certainly cold, but missed out badly on some of the snow events. That bloody shadow!!! Manchester even missed out in 47 I read. 5cm max depth in town centre. I envy West Yorkshire folk!!!

    I've got a different take on the take on the same theme. In Mancheater snow has always been in short supply given the geography. But, because its so infrequent, the more I love it when it happens. I always believe the models when they predict narnia, but its a fantasy I know most of the time. That for me is the beauty of it. Ridiculous really isn't it
  14. Rob 79812010
    2010?? Similar to 79. Also, mid 90's had some great winters in your neck of the woods. Remember the great blizzard of Jan 95. Incredible snowfall in West Yorkshire. Was living there at the time.
  15. Rob 79812010
    Could I ask a question? Metcheck Long term forecast shows nearly whole of February as average sub zero. Is this the models we talk about feeding this?? If it was true, would be the greatest month of my life
  16. Rob 79812010
    All looks alright for Xmas and maybe cold again towards new year. Keep the faith. Always flips around on GFS and enough cold flips to keep us in the hunt
  17. Rob 79812010
    Meant the systems moving down from North are rare. Usually polar lows from Arctic which aren't good for us
  18. Rob 79812010
    You're right but they are rare I think. 2010 last one I recall. Easterly snow even rare for side of pennines. Think there was a good one 95 but don't know how far west it went. Manc had 6 inches, similar to 2010. We're just in wrong part of UK
  19. Rob 79812010
    Hope so and thanks. Makes sense
  20. Rob 79812010
    This is where I get confused. Does that mean if most models go for cold but one doesn't, it probably won't happen??
  21. Rob 79812010
    Yes, and as a relatively novice I still don't get why deep into F1 they show such extremes from day to day. Shouldn't it be some kind of mean temperature?? Some of the long term forecasts even by the credible forecasters show crazy temps sometimes
  22. Rob 79812010
    I know, you're right! My pops would drive out with me to the higher parts and I loved i
  23. Rob 79812010
    I was so glad. I've got lovely memories of the lakes. To get so much snow in Wimdermere and Coniston was a dream. No idea why Manchester never gets that much! Jan 2010 was best in Manc in my lifetime. Wish I was older so could remember 63!! 79 was good but more snowfalls 2010
  24. Rob 79812010
    Weirdly, Manchester does seem to have some snow most years now, though usually only a centimetre or two. Even though the 80's was pretty good for cold winters, it wasn't great for snow! Some places did well though
  25. Rob 79812010
    Cold spells are rarely long in my experience. I'd say that pretty normal other than a few exceptional winters. Certainly in my 60 years anything 7 days plus is pretty good really. Not saying we haven't had sustained periods of cold but they are few and far between and in my part of the world always were
