  1. Just went out with me ruler to measure snow depth at 2000hrs and it turns out my estimate was bang on. 5cm in Northampton, up to about 8cm in drifts, making it the snowiest December event in this town in 4 years. (Dec 27/28th 2005)

    i know i'm a bit jealous because at least you've had some snow, but is the difference between 5 and 8 cm really a drift?

  2. im reckon the 'green shoots' may well be flooded out, this week is shaping up (here) to be worse then anything 07 threw at us. and the current output doesnt suggest it will improve. with a prediction of 50/50 for something more settled early august, that means its 50/50 that it WONT improve.... guess which 50% im backing B)

    So you're saying we're going to get widespread floods with whole towns cut off?

  3. Give the Welsh and Scots and Irish what they want and while we're at it can we have a forecast just for the north of Watford because I don't like the South East bias on TV.

    Better still let's have a midlands forecast and met office in case the notherners take too much tv time up. No! make it a west mids forecast because the east mids always get more snow than us!

    Wait a minute! Don't like wolverhampton or Brum so make it a Black Country Met Office or how about a met office for each street or even each family, 'cept for the mother in law!

    Full employment at last ... everyone is a forecaster!

  4. When looking at the 18Z run yesterday I tracked a high pressure system that I think is called the azures high cross the atlantic and end up over the British Isles at the end of the run.

    Looking at the 00z run this morning, the high pressure is at least 500 miles further south at the end of the run.

    Why is there so much difference in the two runs and is the data used from a different source?

  5. Yesterday whilst watching the lightening I saw what looked like dark ribbons of cloud hanging below a big black cloud. As the cloud got closer the ribbons seemed to be sucked upwards into the main cloud mass.

    Have you any idea what caused it and is this a common occurence?
