    1979 and 2010. 79 got an extra 3 weeks off school. Yes schools did close in the 'good old days' contrary to what some claim. Jan 5th 2010 working from home followed by the biggest freeze I've ever known. Minus 18 at night. And snow on ground for a week. Might not sound amazing but believe me it us for Manc

    Always had the shadow. Check out 1947!!

    And Dec 23 for a few days
  4. Rob 79812010
    And 86!

    Hope so. Won't in my neck of the woods though.Never came off in 80's. Got to be Irish Sea snow showers or freak easterlies that actually get snow over to manc

    Question. If frost and snow don't melt at 2 or 3 degrees, is it purely because of wind chill? Or could below surface temps be a factor??

    After your start to December, anything else snow wise a bonus!!!
  8. Rob 79812010
    Do you mean Dec 10?? Jan 10 we all got snow from memory. On 18 Dec 10 think the snow came off Irish Sea but fizzled out as it approached pennines. Don't think altitude was an issue

    So much to be positive about about in the models. Beeb monthly update is very encouraging. They still mention effects of ssw in feb

    I would say the start of a cold spell. Deep cold, doesn't seem that way
  11. Rob 79812010
    Looks to me like we're already locked into an extended cold spell. I've seen Greenland highs before that dont produce severe cold, but are still quite cold. Presume it wouldn't take much to suddenly become a lot colder. Can anyone throw light on this??
  12. Rob 79812010
    The greeny blocking won't be a problem. Its not going to produce severe cold though. It will be quite cold though. This pattern could be around for a while in my opinion.
  13. Rob 79812010
    Blocked and cold is looking likely and I see nothing to suggest it going away. I've seen this type of blocking before and though it will stay quite cold it probably won't be severe. Cant explain it buy maybe a better scenario for long term cold. Is prefer that to a raging easterly that's gone in a week

    I know, this all confuses me as an amateur. I keep thinking the models, forecasts, ensembles are great. Then I read all the negative stuff and wonder if I'm missing something!!!!
  15. Rob 79812010
    Any normal winter and I'd be chuffed with the GFS output this morning. Think this is good as our expectations are rightly heightened!!!
  16. Rob 79812010
    In fairness, other than the usual occasional wild model, the short medium and even longer term output has suggested cold, occasionally very cold but not severe cold. Other than the famous winters, periods of cold are rarely severe other than fleeting blows. 2 weeks of what we're seeing with temps 1 to 2 below means very decent uk winter weather. I'm liking the longevity of this one. Below average Jan more than likely and who knows Feb! Continuance or early spring. Hmmmm

    Always banana skins in UK. Could all go to plan though. Always a rarity but it still happens from time to time
  18. Rob 79812010
    47?
  19. Rob 79812010
    Media has an agenda. Yes of course there is global warming but the media / state want us to invest into this. Partly for good reason but also green energy is big business now. News reports are sometimes wildly exaggerated and in many cases not true. If snow comes late one year to Scandinavia the news will be full of it. They go very quiet when things return to normal Drinking with joy if it was me!!!!
  20. Rob 79812010
    Yes, Id have to seriously consider model watching in the future. I'd probably come back to it though!!! Its that awful disappointment though when it all falls apart. I do think though that when the beeb etc are behind all this, we really are in with a shout
  21. Rob 79812010
    81 was definitely not a 6 to 7 week frigid period. Where have you got that from??
  22. Rob 79812010
  23. Rob 79812010
    My fingers are crossed!!
  24. Rob 79812010
    Can't help it!!!
  25. Rob 79812010
    I'd be happy enough at this stage with Jan 21 cet or below
