  1. 4 inches + under the main snow band roads are no go, nearly blocked, very windy - drifitng. Had 4 inches within 2 hours. Never seen anything like it?!

    Where abouts are you?

    It's frustrating, just north of the snow band (I'm in peterborough) www.raintoday.co.uk

  2. I can't see much happening here today. Currently very overcast and disappointing.

    Just also wanted to add that today the BBC have contacted me wanting to use the Peterborough tornado footage I posted on youtube. The programme is called living dangerously and will be aired later this year. :D

    It's nice to see recognition for all the hard work you've put in over the years.

    I myself seem to have drifted away from the rollercoaster ride that is the GFS but still keep a beady eye out for interesting weather nonetheless.

    Let us all know when the show is to be aired...

  3. Well well well, check out www.xcweather.co.uk. Its not just a southern fling, Sky Lusa is currently reading 23C and Prestwick airport 24C!!!

    London not showing anywhere near the 25C mark, wonder which stations are used on xcweather compared to Metoffice.

  4. Certainly a very warm October. Warm nights have been the biggest factor in producing the high CET figure.

    As for the yearly CET, I'm confident that November and December will average LESS than 6.25. :)

    Is that a hint at your winter forecast Ian? B)

  5. Shall we all adopt that fine attitude you have no shame in posting and see where it leads us????

    My parents taught me that you lead by example, it is slovenly to refuse to act because no one else is bothered or am I/my parents sadly mistaken?

    I was pointing out that we are not contributing to climate as much as other people, yet we seem to be the only ones thinking about acting on it. USA opted out from the Kyoto agreement, USA takes on a selfish attitude, USA is the world largest consumer of fossil fuels, and USA is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases. They pay less than half the price for a liter of fuel than we do. They aren't paying for their waste, so why should we when we already suffer heavy fuel duty!

    Dont get me wrong, i'm all for doing something about it, but why tax us more than we already are being taxed when others aren't and theyre the main contributors.

  6. Im all for doing something about the pollution worldwide, whether it is actually affecting our climate, is another matter, but why should we the tax payers pay for changes? Yes the changes are good and i agree with their implementation, but increasing the costs of fuel and other green taxes is pointless. Will it stop people from using their cars if tax on petrol/litre goes up say 20p? Nope. People will put up with it because for many it is essential to their lives.

    What should be tackled is air travel. if you fly to Australia you might as well leave your car running for 30years. Thats how much pollution is created!!! However taxing air travel will push up the price of travel, imports, exports and affect the gloabl economy too much so it would never get the backing required to reduce emissions.

    One final point. Why should i pay to save the world when the country with the largest army cant be bothered, and the country with the highest use of fossil fuels can be bothered either (China and USA)!!!???

  7. Its an idea to notify the cambs times about it. My mother in law "Maggie Gibson" is the senior reporter there. Ring them up, ask for her and tell her luke mudge put you on to her...im sure they'll run the story. Coincedently i saw a funnel cloud over march this year too, although much smaller than yours :) 01354 652621

    Let me know...

  8. Interesting to see 18 degrees has been reached south west of scotland!!! Check out www.xcweather.co.uk...very interesting!

    Huge swing in temperatures of late, not sure why people have dissappeared the forums when its now the weather gets interesting and convective :doh:
