Now day 39 in Brisbane without rain, possible storm tomorrow night, if nothing happens we're looking at being in mid to late 40's days with no rain.

I moved to Brisbane from Scotland 3 months ago and noticed this news this morning "This morning was the fifth consecutive morning of sub-zero temperatures in Alice Springs, a new May record. The previous record May run was four mornings, in 1976." If the world weather is really all linked and intertwined, maybe we're running into a repeat of 1976, and we all know what happened in the UK that summer.

I saw it when driving the kids home, I thought it was a firework at first. I was driving South and it went left to right so it came from the East. Nothing spectacular though

Glasgow at southern edge of all this snow, can it last all night? -

it's certainly not lying in Glasgow City centre, despite snowing heavily for more than 3 hours. I better find the 5 mile trip South at 5pm has made a difference!!! -

Well as a resident of Glasgow I'll remember it as being cold for a few weeks that's about it. 1 Decent snowfall and 2 small ones. Some very cold nights and days No problems getting to work or driving, no inconvenience other than having to thaw out the car a few times a day. All in all pretty boring. -
My car briefly dropped to -15c just as I came off the mate at J4 this morning heading for Bathgate, it was -14.5c in Bathgate itself. Whitburn only a few miles from there

What do you do Argyll? Scotrail? Work for Network Rail myself. Points failures causing mayhem at the moment, an average January day should have 25,000 delay minutes nationwide, yesterday was 125,000 minutes. This could spell is certainly damaging one thing, my bonus!!! -

Left Glasgow at 07.30 car was reading -9.5c, which seems to tie in with what others had. Arrived in Bathgate at 08.30 to -14c. Bathgate also has at least a foot of snow lying in areas untouched. -
Scotland Cold Spell Discussion Part 13
bingobob777 replied to Methuselah's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Am I the only one fed up with it now? Several inches of ice covering everything isn't quite as attractive as fresh snow!! The roads in Glasgow seem to be deteriorating daily and are in all honesty a disgrace, I assume the continual melting and refreezing is causing cracks in the road to open more and more. I've already had to replace a tyre due to hitting a pothole. More snow required -
How has the south of Spain been faring the last 3 weeks when receiving all the rain normally destined for the UK?

The one decent spell of snow we had in Glasgow was last Tuesday, it's now nearly gone, all we have left is dirty slush. We need more or a melt quick -

why when it's -8c already in Glasgow are all the major weather sites predicting a minimum of -4c? -

Well the snow's off in Glasgow, a good 4-5 inches has fallen since lunchtime. Have a look on the swing seat for a good idea. -

3 1/2 hrs of solid heavy snow in South side of Glasgow, mega snowman building with the kids tonight. It must be like the North Pole by now up in East Kilbride. -

bingobob777 replied to Methuselah's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
That's cleared it up then!!! I'm curious why temps of -15 are shown in the North of Scotland next Tuesday/Wednesday when the 850temp is much higher, is it simply a result of lying snow, do the gfs temp charts take that into account? -

bingobob777 replied to Methuselah's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Gents, any of you care to explain to me the significance of the 508-512 dams shown in Scotland early next week, do these relate to likely ground temperature or are the 850 temps a better indication of ground temperature? -
2 months of solid cloud, wind and rain in Glasgow. worst 2 summer months I can remember and no sign of any change. Any experts enlighten me what is needed to break this cycle!

Netweather showing -7, BBC showing -2, metcheck showing -9 for Glasgow on Wednesay night. Why the large variation and is -7 or -9 a possibilty?
