[Frost Reports 25th Sept Onwards]

Hi I thought instead of giving a frost report everytime, I'd give the number of frost days we've had this winter halfway through, and I'll give the rest at the end.

so far we have registered 29 frosts since September but i did not write the dates down, although I have got some information in a weather journal so I'll dig that out and give details later

Hi Stephen,

My records since the frost season started is now 44 days recorded somewhere in NW England from the sink holes of Cumbrian Fells to the sandy Cheshire plains. -1C in my garden now at 18z so 45 by tomorrow morning. Not bad going with more on the horizon.

Hi OON,

Cheers

Hi strauch67,

Great picture again. Looks like a good fall !

[Weather In Slovenia]

Thank you!

I don´t know if will be -40 this year , but you never know :lol: My friend is in march already measured -41,1 in one sinkhole in Julian Alps.

Karst basin (Vala) is near Croatia border, few km south from mountain Snežnik. The other one, Smrekova draga is north from Snežnik.

The nearby location is Ilirska bistrica (it is on map).

ps: NE from Snežnik is a valley that we call Slovene Siberia (official record is around -36; on weather station).

I will get my map out !

Thanks again.

Iztock,

Can you please tell me the height of the mountains that surround your special karst ( sink hole ) in the location where you expect to record -40C this winter ?

Just fascinated with your hobby and location.

Thanks

Carinthian

[Storm Reports - 4th September 05]

Lots of flashes and distant rumbles towards the east (I'm located in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire). Rain is on and off, seems to be picking up again. Strike Alert says 12 - 24 miles.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Pharmcat,

Can see the same lightning display as you. I would say due south from me, towards Crewe. That would tie in with your ob.

Cheers

[Storm Reports - 4th September 05]

Lots of flash adn bangs to the southeast (somewhere near or beyond the Mendips) but only light, big raindrops here.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Lots of sheet lightning due south towards South Cheshire /Salop area.

[BBC Weather Forecasts and Graphics Discussion]

That's because it was Helen Willets. She is the one who uses synoptic charts the most in my opinion. Another excellent forecast by her again tonight.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Did anyone else see this mornings brillant weather presentation by Jo Farrow at 08.20am. I think she will be a rising star. Lousie and Carol could learn a lot from watching her ?

[Saturday 13th August 2005]

steady heavy rain - sometimes torrential, warm and humid.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hi Stephen,

That pulse of heavy rain now affecting my part of Cheshire. Back edge seems to be slow to clear. Looks bleak for the cricket matches throughout the county and Old Trafford this afternoon.

[BBC Weather Forecasts and Graphics Discussion]

John Hammond is a good presenter, but why does he always use that annoying phrase 'going nowhere fast'?

Tonight on the 6.27pm forecast, a band of rain coming in from the Atlantic was said to be 'going nowhere fast'.

What on earth does that mean?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes,John is one of the best of a current bunch of naff presenters, but his taste in music is also naff : when he publically prefers Status Quo to the great legents Pink Floyd on tonights forecast. Johnboy get a life !

[BBC Weather Forecasts and Graphics Discussion]

:unsure: Woke to watch this mornings trash BBC weather ART ATTACK presentation by weather girl Louise ! This is what she had to say about tomorrows weather as she followed the sludge green graphics around Blighty---

"Plenty of rain moving across the North and Northwest and other Northern areas as well, but the Southeast will be OK,good news for the golf"!

CONFUSED-- damn right I am. Where is North by Northwest ? Who cares if the Southeast is OK ? The water companys dont! and finally the golf is being played in County Kildare, hardly the Southeast.

Have now given up with breakfast morning trash presentation. The BBC dont care and the Met Office are scared to upset their paymasters. Glad I got that off my mind, will retire to the conservatory and munch my frosties and watch the gloom outside, at least watching Pink Floyd on the BBCs excellent presentation of the Live G8 concert cheered me up !

When does the pub open !
