  1. Morning Milly, here we go: http://en.wikipedia....spheric_warming Here's what the Americans are saying on their side of the puddle: http://www.americanw...oss-polar-flow/ A warming of the Strat looks to have already begun:
  2. Hot Turkey curry actually! They now reside with 40 other ones in my tasting cellar!!! Satellite would suggest some clearer weather today?
  3. Or half way through a day, as some us actually working like to call it......
  4. :lol: If you like spiced rum, after my own home made one of course, let me recommend this absolute beauty: http://www.drinkfinder.co.uk/rum/bristol-black-spiced-rum-42-70cl.html Liquid Christmas!!!! Back to weather and the pressure is way up today at 1031mb and rising, might see a bit of sun in some places, but generally still cloudy.
  5. 9.8°C 1031.0 mb rising 0.7 mb/hr Wind 6.2 mph gusting 13.9 mph max W DP 8.5°C Humidity 92% 1.4mm rain last 244 hours Cloud base 510 ft Unseasonably mild out there
  6. Morning hbl!!! (got any Ibuprofen?) Morning Steve! You're more East than I am, you'll get the sunrise first....
  7. Some wonderful home movies! Billericay, 1962/63: Walsall 1962: The Moors:
  8. Morning all!!! My head hurts and I haven't even had a drink Must be the stratosphere doing it.......
  9. Thank you for that Dawn, I'll leave it as a wet wasteland for now.
  10. Ewww nice, do you mind standing on this mat while you post then please, you're making a terrible mess on the wood flooring?!
  11. There is a tortoise out there somewhere that has decided to use the garden for hibernating. I hope it went to sleep with a snorkel in it's mouth....
  12. Thanks for that; it's a swimming pool I wasn't expecting at the moment. Pity it's not heated and surrounded in Italian marble
  13. What about clay Dawn, my garden could make grey plates and pots for everyone? (when it's not under 3" of water!)
  14. Comparisons between 2010 and 1963 here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8446942.stm
  15. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Yorkshiremen_sketch
  16. But the trains still got through..... and road vehicles (with some help!) Amateur home movie:
  17. Just an idea of what it was like for those of us too young to remember!!! Here are links to a few news reels from the old British Pathe News for 1963: http://www.britishpa...ter freeze 1963 http://www.britishpa...ter freeze 1963 http://www.britishpa...ter freeze 1963
  18. I guess everyone would work from home on laptops! I'm not sure how many kids have access to the web (a very high percentage) but with a suitable VOIP type phone + cam and maybe portal connection, a lot of people don't need to travel anyway these days?
  19. Got that here too MKSA, but it's not hanging around for long:
  20. HNY hbl!!!! A brief respite for a week or so gives us dryer, mild but drab conditions. You gotta take the rough with the smooth I guess?!
  21. Seems like the proverbial 'drop in the ocean' ??? http://www.southwestbusiness.co.uk/news/02012013083138-council-to-use--1m-to-tackle-flooding-issues-/
  22. I think the problem would be that we haven't really had an event like '63 in many people's living memory and they may not be as prepared as they would like to think. Although as you say, the equipment to deal with snow and freezing condition's exists, I guess modern financial considerations and Health+ Safety legislation would strangle our ability to meet the onslaught of a 'Great Winter' such as 1963 now. http://forum.netweat...r/page__st__100
  23. Apart from a bit of drizzle this afternoon and possibly on the 5th, I can't see anything more exciting than the odd spot of rain around the 8th and maybe some fog on the 9th overnight: Like our part of the world, dull and mild by day for the foreseeable.
  24. Frozen sea here too in '63, Southend: Great Yarmouth: Poole Harbour: The Thames at Windsor:
