  1. tap all near Banbury and in Banbury, north Oxfordshire.
  2. I think it's quite early to be calling a dry week, T+96 only takes us to the end of the weekend and the ECM is showing a "raging" easterly. You only have to look at the Country Tracks forecast last Sunday to see how much can change within the 72-96 hour period (reviewing the forecast for yesterday and today). If anything this spell has taught us that huge events can crop up at 24 hours notice, like the NAE on Monday.
  3. What sort of synoptic output is it showing? The ECM has (bar today) consistently indicated renewed retrogression to the GIN sea area, is that something at is consistent with the UKMO 10-15 day outlook or is there more of an easterly component?
  4. That appears to be a chart for tomorrow though, whilst the 'red zone' will be taking the hit tonight. The MetO are forecasting an east track of the low tomorrow so that ties in well.
  5. Quieres decir "Freezing rain", creo, cuando la lluvia se congela al momento de llegar al suelo?
  6. Some clouds starting to blow in 5 miles west of Banbury, N Oxfordshire...nothing falling as of yet but the news from B'ham sounds promising.
  7. Well rather than complaining and adding nothing why not step up to the plate and provide your opinion on SE wales?
  8. There is, of course, the possibility that GFS has been consistently wrong. Certainly less retrogression on the ECM tonight, and in danger of being a UK high...we'll have to see how it fits on the ensembles.
  9. Very notable in N. Oxon countryside (near Banbury), snow fell on 10 days, lay for 16 (like Northampton I guess) -maximum depth 10". Cold start to December, average up to Xmas then very cold in early January, -14C, then average for second half of January before that February spell (which I think we nearly got down to -14C again, genuine long icicles formed on our lamp posts ); then out like a damp squid like everyone else for the remainder of the winter in February - but can't complain that was easily the best winter for many a year.
  10. Mine was quite interesting for October! Bit of an 'if only it were July' chart really: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/archive/...00119851014.gif Back on the models, certainly interesting sounds from ECM FI: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm1921.gif Though I doubt the potency of any cold pool and the track of the flow would not doubt vary, probably for the milder, before we even think about shortwaves. I think a fairy decent chance we're done, cold rain looks a good shout for the large part of March IMO, windy at times.
  11. I'm further north than Bicester, nearer to Banbury - I think it was snowier up here - especially my area which is the north-eastern edge of the Cotswolds, where the altitude helps., and all that snow that hit the SW also made it to my area. I didn't go to Northants during the spell, though Brackley isn't too far from Banbury, so I should imagine the tale was fairly similar between Northants and my area, but not Oxfordshire generally.
  12. Corking year here in N Oxon, Snow in October, transient snow November. Cold for the majority of December then mild up to Xmas, then that really cold spell NY - early Jan, with sub-zero days frequent, and those -12C/-13C night minima, average to cool for the remainder of the month in January then from 31st Jan - 12th February at least some snow fell on every single day, we had 10 inches at one point and the greenery to the countryside only returned yesterday. Pretty good IMBY.
