  1. Interesting quote from the MetO...

    The Met Office’s Stephen Holman said that after the week- long storms “temperatures will fall away and we will see a return to the frost and freezing conditions that we saw last week.

    “It will be decidedly cold with temperatures hovering around freezing and significant snowfall on the way.”

    Something else to see too. http://www.snow-forecast.com/maps/static/uk/3days/snow

  2. Has anyone got any more info on the breakdown of the Gulf Stream since the 1970's? (Know what I mean).

    Interesting to see what the winter of 09, 10 etc, chuck at us.

  3. I think its getting to the point where its going to be one of those winters where our cold winter weather will be affected by the atlantic LP's.

    What I mean is after the LP's skirt about us we then will have cold periods between the next Lp's.

    This is what I see, and obviously depending on the direction and strength of the Lp's will result in the "Winteryness of any cooler periods".

    I feel we will have a bit of both types, and as we approach mid/late winter the cold periods may, I say may produce some nice white events, but short lived. This stands for both the East and West of the Uk but around Feb to March 09.

    Its still to early to expect a long cold period with the helping of snow, we are looking for to much to happen and take place right now.

    I dont want to eat my words but I see a pattern falling here from cold to mild, and as we venture further into winter the snow fall risk is increasing.

    Now if my theroy is slightly right, after the mild period for mid Dec to pass we should again experience a colder period just before the Christmas. Either for the East or West. Also when Ive been wacthing to weather occur around this period be it Gales or Cold periods, it also repeats one week later, ie: S-Gales of 96/96 then S-Gales of 99-00, and about the same period of 2002 Just after a cooling period?

    Now in 2005 we had a mild Jan with some very strong gales I think topped 100mph, always near New Years eve, followed by a cooling period inc wide spred of snow fall, again. (Catch my drift?)

    I know the charts are early and the Atlantic is holding out a bit but following the charts, they may of been showing similar strong patterns of the previous winter activity but the building cold spell has spoiled the otherwise more possible factual runs hence this period of confusion?

    Again, Im only stil wet behind my ears and very "old-school" ie not wanting to take note of any longwave or long range forecast other than countryfile on a sunday but it's a free world and that my reasoning. Pls dont have a go at me.
