My pearlies only come out when it snows. It's a vicious cycle, no snow, no pearlies, no pearlies and the snow-shield gets turned on. -
You're turning it on!? It's been on for a longtime.
-
Wait... What!? I've spent the whole night lamenting the fact I've had no cloudcover, let alone snow. You must have found the one spot in Lowestoft that has a cloud over the top.
-
You might get lucky, seems those closer to the Thames are faring much better than we East Coasters. Looking at Sat24, there's little to no precip coming anytime soon, so unless the North sea throws up some showers, it's a dry one... Again.
-
I do try my best . As for the snowwatch, sod-all so far today, plenty of clouds, but precipitation has decided it doesn't like Lowestoft again.
-
I don't want memories of December '10, it was depressing, all that cold and sod-all snow.
-
Y'know if only we East Anglia people got extreme cold and everyone else had to suffer mild mush I'd be very happy, namely it'd feel right after all the snow they've had over the years while I've had to make do with sod-all. So bring on whatever synoptics get us -25 uppers and everyone else mild mush .
-
Still nothing wintry. Likely not for a good few hours if there is any.
-
Dew point is currently 0.3 here, hoping it drops before the precip attacks, if it ever does.
-
The sleety drizzle has just started here. I live overlooking the river, so hoping something special is caused because of it and we get our own 'Lowestoft Streamer' .
-
Ah, well hopefully we get some decent stuff, I could sum up last winter's snowfall to a handful of dustings and one heavyish 1 hour spell, whilst everyone else was celebrating being dumped on, was not a happy chap.
-
Wintry precipitation has yet to reach my end of Lowestoft yet, it's overcast but not snowy .
-
I'd take the hotel option personally. Mind you I'm a major coldie if it wasn't so remote I'd move to Lapland or Siberia, actually might do Lapland for the whole 'home of Santa' bit .
-
My thoughts exactly, all this talk of convection and coastal towns could get it and yet the most Easterly town in the UK gets missed quite alot.
-
Just had some drizzle today. I have a sneaking suspicion Lowestoft is going to be in the middle of the snowless alley again this year. All this talk of Thames Streamers and Kent getting pasted in the model thread is depressing me.
-
The 6z is the ginger stepchild of the models, having the 12z be so different is not such a bad thing. I think considering the last few days we're going to get an easterly, the details however and longeivity aren't set in stone yet.
-
People are funny like that. Though I'd hate to think how many layers your colleague would have if we got a severe cold spell, snowmeggedon might cause them to come in with 4 duvets wrapped around them and held on with duct tape. 'The newspapers said it'd be like Siberia, I didn't have anything thicker than duvets.'
-
I'm glad you too find warm winters wrong . I may be a bit more explicit in my use of language when complaining about the warm weather though, that and I get very annoyed if I miss out on snow.
-
It is, I hate it, warm weather in Winter is just horrible, makes me all miserable and grouchy. Bring on the -20 uppers I say.
-
Ah, it's that time of winter again. Now here's to hoping I do better than the last proper cold spell, which was a complete letdown snowwise, was very jealous of everyone else.

The Winter emotions and moaning thread
etched Chaos replied to bobbydog's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Still no snow in 2011, and haven't had an airfrost since one day in March and early Jan. -
Air frost!? Ground frost!? Christ, I'm lucky if we even get close to 5c, it's 7c here and the average for Dec so far is 9.8c. So far this autumn/wintert, we've not had a single frost of any kind, grrrrr, this east coast living is miserable.
-
After taking a forum sabbatical through the dreaded mild weather and the summer I'm back to prepare for the upcoming winter. I'm hoping the more extreme forecasts come to fruitiion as I'm deeply adverse to all the mild talk. I also hope my area actually gets a proper dusting this time, last year was agony, reading about everyone else enjoying all the lovely snow and I seemed to be stuck in the snowless corridor for most of it.

The 3 Counties And East Anglia Spring Weather Discussion
etched Chaos replied to Cookie's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Since Thurs we've had no snow here and all the lying snow is now gone. So, unless we get another dusting its going to be yet another completely snowfree Christmas for me. -
But surely if other models are going against your forecast a more prudent forecaster would maybe bite the bullet and re-evaluate their forecast instead of staunchly sticking by it and cherrypicking the model that agrees with it. I suppose I'm just annoyed he's predicting warm weather when all signs right now are stating that we're looking at another cold one, and that he's sticking by that by picking models that could be the exceptions this winter.
