http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...ntryGB%26sa%3DN Just found these pics, cool, brings back memories as i was in Kent at the time

The intermittent rain has just got heaver and longer lasting here

2 claps of thunder 2 hours ago. Strikes noted in Channel on different radars :o

i think i live in the right place not to survive Tunguska in 1908 was an exploding something (comet or solid rock) that if it made the ground instead would have left a big hole.

Thanks Mr Data, this was Sandown Bay 1991, snow on the beech, frozen water pipes and a lovely ice days( i say days there was more than one i think(?) with fine powdery snow blowing around, Is what i remember most. I cant remember the exact date i took the picture

You're welcome SS Truth be known i can't really decide whether or not warming will happen. In my head, its all undecided fact wise. But my heart on the other-hand says cold not warm. By my heart i mean my gut feeling Edit:- Undecided fact wise i will elaborate a bit. We can't possibly know all the facts that are truly relevant, on an astronomical scale we probably know less than we may think. Example:-Pole shift, Would we would know the signs of it starting? I would expect we would only recognizing the event when it truly gets started. Thanks for the link i will look. Regards. Russ.

Hi Snowsure, The Mayan calender I am informed says that 2008 and 2012 are significant times of great upheaval. If you don't mind me asking is there anywhere on the net where i could read Mayan Calendar or at least read about it? I call Mother Nature Lady Luck or God b/w, and IMO she will decide, what will happen regarding GW. No computer weather model program will ever come close :lol: I think you could put me down as a reason 3er :lol: Regards, Russ.

From what i have seen of STATSIGs i would call it the "I've got news for you" of Netweather. Sort of commenting on the high drama and ramping, cool

Excellent, you lucky, lucky person I hope it snows enough for people to post good pictures of it. Cheers, Russ

Its like reading a good book to me, i agree Blackie Although i have only seen the winters 1965 onwards, i have seen some good hard ones. This thread brings back my memories of those I would love to see something on the 62/3 scale, but i am reminded of the hardships and wouldn't want anybody to suffer. I am inclined to think, it is inevitable that we will have some hard winter weather periods at some stage in the next few years. Thanks for the tales of propper winter everybody. Russ

The River Trent froze completely in 1890/1(inland) and that's no small river, it looks like quite an experience I suppose it froze through again in1894/5. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...yUK%7CcountryGB

The ground was frozen that deep, Workmen building a new extension to our school, were unable to dig with a JCB through the deeply frozen soil, they had to use a compressor, like taking up tarmac on the highway. Some mornings they had to fire the fuel lines on that digger with lit rags before it would start, the diesel was thickening as the temperature was so low. They were swearing a lot aswell :o (We did snowball them when we got the chance b/w.) I well remember Buxton being cut off, i lived less than 10 miles away in Macclesfield. Whenever it snowed in Macc, Buxton was usually unattainable for us. In a car it involved going over the Cat and Fiddle Route, which was in the news a frequently, for being blocked at the time. The drifting snow in the Peak district was amazing, the drifts stayed till summer in places, i was up there in my t-shirt throwing snowballs in June Thanks Mr Data. Russ.

Death by hailstone in the UK, that would be an eye opener. The hot July we just had broke down, in the end with storms that were pretty good, for some i suppose if things were a little different we might have had far worse storms

These are my final two. The entries. Both in a larger size for your pleasure Nice place the IOW Nice picture too b/w

i can't wait to see the results of this unusual project, feedback from the locals would be interesting too Found another Russell who takes photos, lovely shots of Glasgow, probably including the towers concerned aswell. http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=241078 Russ.

Lovely day, sunny scattered cloud. Outside temp not available due to operator error.... 22.2C in the office :lol:

:o That reminds me, i had better post mine soon, i am holding out in case a mega weather picture opportunity arises.

Wow that's late in the day for a rainbow, in the bottom picture behind the cross. Russ

Nice We just had a small storm here very brief.

Thank you for being so considerate and rectifying the problem so quick

Frist one for October (entry) Full size for your pleasure

I want/would-like, snow on the ground at least a foot of it, for at least 2 weeks, with ice days, before i depart this Earth, i know its possible, i seen it when i was a teenager during the late 70s-early 80s in Cheshire Perhaps this year If i does not happen, that's another reason to hope there is an afterlife

Sounds good. But its a long time away yet. I think that true cold winters are not just a thing of the past and they are going to come back at some stage, why not this time? I don't think they ever left, and the weather from the west has not been up to much strength wise for a while, ex-hurricane's excepted. I admit to wishful thinking b/w and accept that this winter may be not cold (just practicing winter outrage avoidance there) Russ
