Relatively heavy snow here... could be our heaviest, so far this winter -
Winter 2019/20 | Moans, Ramps & Chat
law of averages replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Good evening peeps, what a really poor poor winter... it's been so far!! A lot of peeps on here keep banging on about how mild it's been?? Well bar a spell around Christmas it's been cold ( even very cold ) around these parts since November... granted not freezing or snow ( only a couple of days, which didn't last more than few hours ) but mild no... I can take whatever weather puts in front of us, I drive a forklift at work and spend about 30% of day outside in only a t-shirt and a hi-vis but the other drivers, are wrapped up like teddy bears!! Like it was a minus, proper winter... but it as been cold, none the less. Some southern parts, say Staffordshire South, might be mild from time to time... but not here. But not unlike a lot of winter's around these parts, even green ( not white ) or on the cold side ( no snow )... but I think it's just patterns and cycles ( nothing else ) As for the rest of winter, into spring... I think another cold spring could be on the cards, like a lot of springs over the last 4 or 5 years... but the weather will do whatever it wants... so time will tell. Just wanted to get that off mi chest, lol... enjoy whatever takes ya fancy ☺ That holy grail of winter's, could be just around the corner -
North West Regional Discussion 30 Jan 2019 onwards
law of averages replied to damianslaw's topic in Regional
Sorry but it was odd, because you was referring to snow that was 23yrs back... I mentioned something that was only 8yrs ago really!! But in reality we had more green winter's than white... in the 25/30yrs before 2007!! We've had more white since then... so yes I stand by odd remark -

Sorry I disagree BIG time... so what's happening in EUROPE or the STATES eastern side nearly every yr... is GW/CC... sorry no chance, I'll lose my balloon knot before any of that lol -
Model output discussion - 7th January onwards
law of averages replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
. Your last comment, just the same as that PROFESSOR... who in the early 2000s said ' would there be SNOW in western Europe '... this really ticks me off, patterns and cycles yes... GW/CC NO -

law of averages replied to itsnowjoke's topic in Regional
I watched weather on North West about an hour ago... couldn't believe what she said?? She said the fog that had lingered most of the day had gone and it wouldn't be as cold either... wrong on both still quite foggy and mild it ain't, it's been cold for some time around here... and yes with a couple milder days, just surprised by her forecast really Anyway let's next wk, delivers... we need a good cold snowy winter, to be 50% near 1947 would me -

law of averages replied to phil nw.'s topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Xcellent post Roger , I'm a great believer in patterns and I'm sure we will get a winter that's up there with best.... 2010, 1978/79 and I think 1996 being the other I have my memory -

Don't know why this appeared... lol -
The changing daylight hours thread
law of averages replied to Boydie's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
If it's true they are thinking of stopping daylight saving, AGAIN?? Does no one remember the early 70s when they did it... and it didn't work!! So WHY should it now, just a thought Ps I was about 6 or 7 at the time, so that would be 72/73... they did it stop accidents at school time ( starting time/finishing time ) it actually created more accidents, if those who remember, remember it -
Winter weather chat, moans, banter and ramps
law of averages replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
It cracks me up here, sometimes... people writing things off!! Some of the best winter's, didn't start till boxing day or even January or even later!! So to be crying before it's even started ( I'm well aware, nothing may not happen at all?? ) is ridiculous... around the area i live, we've had more decent winters here since 2007... than the previous 25 plus years( nowt to do with GW/CC )... of course im disappointed when cold n snow dont appear, even fleetingly?? But even in recent weeks it's been COLDER than temp it states, mist n fog have appeared which seems an age, since we've had any... with things in place to give us a fighting chance of summat decent, chill peeps and let things unfold... we've got 3months to give us that chance, let's just wait and see -
The hunt for cold - Model discussion (late November)
law of averages replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
10 days is a long time, whatever they're showing 2day... probably won't be within 75% in 3 days time, never mind 10?? Just saying -
Well 70 goes with what I said... it must have 70 but with it going into the new yr, 71 must be in my memory but it's good memory either way cause now I would have been 5 lol
-
But what I was trying to say, is there is a pattern of some sort there for all to see... whether a BIG winter or small winter... no global warming in site to boot
-
Well I was 6 at the time... and as I've said a yr or 2 either way!! I've got 71 as snowy in my head but 70 or 72 could have been also?? But I'm talking about my region, not UK as a whole... cause not all area's would get snow at the same time. Probably 47/63 did or didn't ( all area's)... as I wasn't born but going off my father these winter's did... but only people who were there to remember it, could answer this
-
What about DECEMBER 2010, that was more or less uninterrupted... a month!! Also someone else mentioned there's no pattern in weather, I disagree BIG time... there are patterns, nowt surer... just going from 1947 ( give or take year!! ) BIG winter, 1955 I'm sure was a cold winter, 1963 another biggie, 1971 was snowy, 1978/79 take your pick on either, 1986/87 I'm sure these were memorable, 1995/96 I'm sure one of these was, 2003/04 might not be as memorable but some good snow, 2009/10 as above... and this year the beast!! So within 8yrs or so, there's some memorable winter's... 1947 and 1963 being the exception and seeing as I wasn't born till 65, them 2 are out of my reach lol but there are patterns there... whether BIG or small

North West Regional thread 01/09/18 Onwards......
law of averages replied to itsnowjoke's topic in Regional
Well at least it stayed dry, earlier... but like someone mentioned it felt RAW out there!! It's felt like this for a while now, is this a precursor to something COLDER!! I'm not like some on here, who are a lot more knowledgeable about the weather... but I've mentioned it before on here, the last time it felt like this was 2010... I've not put it with earlier this year the BEAST, cause that was completely different lol -
MILD/VERY MILD DECEMBERS
law of averages replied to Tom Montalbano's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
In our area of this great island... the 80s, 90s and up to 2007 brought to many green winter's!! Never mind MILD/VERY MILD December's... since 2007 more winter's have brought the winter's/December's... I and many crave, DECEMBER 2010 being the most notable for MANY, MANY YEAR'S... let's hope winter 18/19 can deliver!! Ps there are many people on this site/forum who are very informative and a joy to read, whether right or sometimes wrong... too many to mention but keep writing, I'll keep reading lol...Ged -
North West Regional thread 01/09/18 Onwards......
law of averages replied to itsnowjoke's topic in Regional
Been a cold week, that's for sure... one thing that's got me thinking is how cold it's felt!! It's felt a lot COLDER than the temps have showed... I'm no weather XPERT, by a long chalk... but there feels a underlying COLD, which I can't explain... but the last time I felt the same thing was 2010 and 2007... I'm not saying for one minute we're going to get the same but the signals feel the same, time will tell... but I don't think it's going to be as mild as some or tv weather think and I think this be no more than little blip... here's to a decent winter or better lol...Ged
