That was last years storm which never happened the crisp packet is still in tact somewhere. :lol: All I want again is a winter chart like this again this year preferably with the feb to follow. awesome feb.

It does look like if this continental SE-ly or slack east even, then if high sticks around like the models suggest the SE will certainly get quite plummet in temps especially. Last years was a mild 6.5c and it does look like being 1c lower at least if the high stays 2c. I went for 4.9c which was dec 1989 cet who remembers that month it wasn`t exactly a memorable month as I remember. Looks like there was an ineresting set-up here though. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119891211.gif

Already 15c reached in north Wales,it`s even milder than tuesday here at 12.6c so 0.5c higher it`s getting a bit ridiculous for december this is,and the coolest day in the summer was 12.7c at the very end of June. :lol: Click on temps. http://xcweather.co.uk/

December 1st winter starts in weather. I expected today to test it out with another on thusday with more very mild atlantic air. As for warmest days even December 1985 it reached 17.7c in devon in a fohn effect. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119851202.gif

Yes dec 1999 was the last time we had cold zonality at this time of year at the begining of the month. This day gave hail,sleet and snow showers with W-ly gales with the snow showers (rare now) and a dusting of snow here max temps 3c lower than todays actually here. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119991204.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00219991204.gif But as TWS said this was the last great cold zonality to remember with prolonged heavy snow shower with 2.5inches with slight drifting and what a perfect time for it to come 4 inches by boxing day. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00120041225.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00220041225.gif A different situation to what we have currently with those anyway. http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn001.png

Well 2005/06 winter my highest max was just 10c. last year it was 11.1c both happened feb. 18c somewhere I`ll say.

4.9c but it may end up lower but thats my punt,first week looks mobile atlantic with not exactly mild but coolish westerlies then after that it could get interesting, but there again it may not.

LOL, yes I assure you, Stratos that the measurements were carefully made in the vertical plane, as opposed to the horizontal. We ended up with a maximum mean depth of 15.8cm around 0200, the mean taken from measurements in a dozen different places. Equally surprising was the rainfall total for yesterday of 35.5 mm, most of it melted snow. It was the heaviest November snowfall here since the 19th in 1996 when there was 30 cm (29.9cm average to be precise) T.M

Those dates reminds me of a few past christmases when we had snow either side of christmas and a mild xmas followed by a cold near year with snow in the 90`s Last 2 mild ones were actually only 2002/03 as all the others in the 00`s were cold days here. :lol: 2000/0c 2001/2c 2002/8c 2003/8c 2004/0c 2005/3c 2006/3c 2007/??????

A great chart too. I Don`t remember that as I was only 1. :lol: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00219701225.gif

I see he is 900ft up so as high as our lowest ground but snow every christmas isn`t possible. The 90`s were the best for white xmas`s but I seen to remember a very nasty storm one christmas eve in 1997 and mild temps. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119971224.gif And there was one year Mr Data said he had no snow in 1992. Well not sure if this counts but there was a sharp frost and sprinkles of snow to start with as it thawed. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119921224.gif

Since sept 1st I`ve recorded 76mm and with just 1mm so far in november.

No can`t have that. Warm humid thundery summer a few extreme days like this summer also with a few cold/wet days/thunderstorms and a month like this august and a cold winter with blizzards, but with a couple of mild spells not lasting any more than a week. And an autumn like we`re having now very dry except temps want to be 10c lower to today`s max 15c although it`s much better to rain/gales and getting soaked.

Going back to how cool these easterlies next week will be... 4 years ago we had a somewhat rather simlar set-up. although more advanced with winds more east/SE to next week I think it was sunny on that occasion but not sure. Cool nights here anyway down 4/5c and maxes of 10/11c just on the 15/16/17 and 18th 2003 with mild/warm upper air. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00120031015.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00220031015.gif Next week. http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn1261.png http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn1262.png http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn13217.png

Followed without knowing whats coming next which on two I do in particular. 1986/1996/2006 next I`d say, then 1976 last.

From the title of the thread "where has the winter cold gone" Just at total random a day in January from each decade since 1956 firstly the sypnotics. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119560112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119660112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119760112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119860112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119960112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00120060112.gif Now the upper air temps. looking at last year there`s more cold to 1956 as upper air temps show at total random. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00219560112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00219660112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00219760112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00219860112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00219960112.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00220060112.gif Pick of those sypnotics for me though is 1966 then 1956.

Yes friday 17th was the first day of wintriness here and a ground frost also.

Earliest wintry showers here last year was from this with snow in the heavier showers but not alot really mainly sleet did just have a mini sprinkling one morning wind was west/SW though. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00120061118.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00220061118.gif Don`t remember any N-ly last november but did have 2 years ago although it does come from the north to start with.

Oh wow got september dead on!!! congrats to all those names mentioned including West in best for giving us very enjoyable reading and sticking to his guns saying a below ave 14c month. Nice to see this september has bucked the trend to much cooler after a run of warm coolest since 2001. Some high climbers there on this months top 40. :huh: I`ve done well this summer it seems expect I`ll be way out over winter.

It was cold though last christmas well christmas eve was colder as we had a frost as boxing day was cold too at only 2.2c At least it wasn`t as depressingly warm as this day. This was the warmest xmas I always remember it was exceptionally mild. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119881225.gif The last white christmas I`ve seen was 2004 and one of the best but there was quite a run in the 90`s hardly any in the 80`s if any as I remember as a child they all came in the 90`s and I was thrilled. Except 1981 the only cold christmas with snow on the ground but not falling. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/19...00119811225.gif 1976 was another it seems can`t remember snow then but do remember the hot summer previous.

Exactly I was thinking about this today and even though last winter was the 2nd mildest there was snow about and a surprising amount come in February with driting and most snow for 20 years. And there was a cold snap in January http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive/ra/20...00220070123.gif to break those nasty storms up with a little snow and quite abit more snow again later in March here. last winter faired very well indeed here under the circumstances it may not of lasted that long but it was exceptionally mild overall and much better than 1987/1988 winter which was a similar year!!!

13.9c sounds even nicer Tonight does look colder in more central/eastern parts later under HP. As for here milder and duller which won`t count. http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn1817.png

That looks a little high to me was showing 4/5c. http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn1817.png http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn182.png 9.6c here now and breezy and more cloud cover than blue. Tomorrow`s my interest see if I can beat my lowest temp for sept doubt it as they`ve gone up was showing 8c at one point. <_< http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn3017.png

That would be a record cold october month 1905 was 7.1c with 1992 7.8c I thought or the coldest november since 2005 which was 6.2c

October 1974 has been showing up abit lately for archives and the CET was just 7.8c Even 1992 was the same at 7.8c surprisingly. The coldest octobers I`ve lived through. But I`m going for 9.9c a little risky at just below average.
