Interested in any temps where the -5iso has or is digging in? namely the obvious eastern/coastal parts. Still a constant 5°C here in the Sheffield `burbs

Not buying into this sparky? Any "winds turn to the west" will be born of a polar low according to our usual sources

All round concensus then of the cold period lasting a while? Interesting for all as to where this Rex Block sets-up? Basics of the -NAO forecast suggest a white xmas possible so the flutters are back on for Scottish cities at least?

Thnx swain, what i was initially thinking but the reps of below zero temps in Hull got me thinkin :lol:

HELLO? Is their anybody out their with any news on the band currently moving into North yorks/NE england? over the moors in particular?

Any reps of the current setup/ppn turning wintry across the region on the back edge, over higher ground etc etc.? ("region", hate that overused Calendar term )?

Comparing the February "event" for a moment then we can see the source from a more northern latitude AND colder pool later this week > Feb 1st 09 500hPa whereas the latter of this week shows a favorable difference? Fri 18th +105hrs 500hpa Just maybe enough for low temp uppers to ensure any PPN falls as snow other than right on the coastline? But to hell with it, I`m going with this dreadful toothache & history and looking at small accumulations locally in SYorks with cool/cold & cloudy conditions, part2 of a dry crisp northerly outbreak before an Atlantic battle of old? On a winner either way then? :huh:

Time is on our side for once men but/and can safely we say the Blocks sorted now but all eyes on the immenent 00z fax for the midweek Northsea/Scan development! and a repeat of the whole north atlantic OB at 96-120 pls?

Hi folks, Snow in mass. as early as October 16th, Earliest snowfall ever recorded in Houston recently & "lake effect" snow on the cards big time this Thursday 10th How I`d love to be back at Meadowlands for a NYJ game during snow (not that "dirty sanchez" would?)

-5 iso gone off norfolk coast at 168hrs, (was their on prev 174), usual story as we all know. Great info John :excl:

Is it "each to their own", "hopecasting","reverse psychology" & the like Johnny? I guess the thread title itself sort of permits any kind of negative/positive comments from whatever point of view the poster wishes to put across? It never disheartens me when reading should a post appear that purveys a view of something being over before its begun, (the winter period itself in this case) be it a personal point or general view, I sigh when I ask what I assume is a viable question yet no one never seems to respond? (but that must simply be due to my eccentricity :unsure:) Despite a lot of communial "SACRA" spirit showing its annual presence I always favour fact over wishful thinking/fiction but when GP and co. provide fascinating posts it deserves respect,which i assume is what your putting across? be it by means of a small ditty/response from readers "per se" is their choice of course? My point is that although I`m sure its been noted elsewhere? I must prioritize SST`s/lack of Hurricanes to juxtapose amongst the other whorde's of ingredients that contribute to what we will "gratefully receive" in the coming season? It maybe me but even maritime westerlies during October appeared to have had an "edge" to them? present conditions exempt `o course (Jolly good to see a lot of the old names btw also I hasten to add)

Now that would have been quite amazing to witness first hand! Unbelievable magnitude/brightness? The end when it comes will sure be quick for those in the nearby vicinity whenever the biggy arrives?

Based on the fact I saw a terrific Meteorite last night (est.22:20) traveling halfway across the sky in a North-westerly direction with a very thick trail and multiple colored splinters at the end I wonder if it be viable to begin a thread as these are common enough with many people taking to observing the skies more? The best one I have ever seen and would not be surprised if nothing remained on the surface although it probably was way out over the Denmark Strait Iceland/Greenland way? Just a thought? dismiss at will mods? Damn exciting to see mind!

WOW, dug up an aging one here SB! http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gifBut to repeat, has anyone found some new Wcam info/shots etc.?

Got 3 gallon of damson wine (11 lbs fresh over-ripe de-stoned damsons, 2lb sultanas yeast & nutrient, 3lbs sugar, pectolase, 2 cans of red concentrate grape juice) on its 2nd racking, tastes great already! hygro around 16% so cant wait till the new year been a great year for damsons & plums? but back to Sloes and i`ve FINALLY found a decent sized tree so netto here i come!

Looks to have pepped up over Corby now headed more NE to Stamford? Seemed to remember a poster from Corby? ages ago??

Cam shot of Hilsboro/NW Sheffield

Can`t confirm this Dave but very heavy downpours across City now (sheffield - 7 hills rolling into only one natural exit Don valley causes problems more & more frequently these days?), http://www.netweather.tv/forum/index.php?showtopic=55408 Growing too! Any reports from intense activity near Corby/West of Peterboro?

Quite an impressive thunderstorm rolling around NW Sheffield, Oughtibridge,Loxley, Bradfield area, slowly headed SE into central city ATM, dozens of CG`s and intermittent downpours, all started before midday too! 15`C whisper of wind 1013mb. (Primed for observing vapour circulation, years of dreaming about `em are a sure sign! maybe?)

Yup, this was the one snowsure > Fox news link "A small nuclear blast" would have been the equivelant if it hit Earth! Would like to know the KT`s then? fascinating!

"Gaia" theory - sounds good to me, Well overdue for nature to hand mankind a proper lesson for his greed!

Due to eastward trajectory please post up the moment the ppn arrives (honeyp> had great memories along redmires rd up to stanedge pole, 6ft drifts along the walls aside the roads, dem wer `t days )

lol, its only a sideswipe due to how jealous I am of storm chasers in general mate potentially most active few month coming up for us all so I`m gonna enjoy it whatever we get (queue the roaring bunny easterly )

Well if it turns out all said and done I gotta repeat myself in saying that the cold september and october nights really foretold something! however Paul, as much as your reverse psycology worked I never weakened and maintained my stamina In my heart of hearts I knew you were bluffing I have to say no LRF's anywhere and that Includes the Meto's will get my attention esp with regards to Estimated Snowfall amounts ever, they are worthless and as someone else pointed out these Snow Events usually turn up within 24-36 hours notice. I also think we "Might" have entered a new era since about 20 years ago and even I am coming on board to this "even larger teapot" Theory, In that the Uk just "Cannot" get a prolonged Snowfall on the ground any more (And by that I mean a good dumping from the East or North East that will lie on the ground for at least 7-10 days.) Looks like possibly a brief breakdown could be on the cards next week now which is not going to float my boat seeing as we always end up on the wrong side of marginal, the usual favoured locations will get the Snow whilst the unlucky one will see a few hours of Sleet and even the lucky ones accumalations will be like Snowfall of the last 17 years. Have lost the belief sorry guys Paul S So its back to the 80`s and all's well in the world, the world of "seasonal weather" that is!

must agree with today turning out a bigger event than monday! bang on 0`C with 3" of fesh powdery light snow, just wish the wind was a little stronger to blow this lovely stuff around and make some drifts between/against structures?
