V for Very Cold

I'm soooooooooooo looking forward to visiting Prague for Christmas - keeping my fingers crossed for some snow

you use a scraper..... over in the UK it's a squeegee!

Trying to catch up on all the winter related meteorological terms that I have forgotten since last year!

Commuting to and from work in the dark!

Finally woken from my summer slumbers ..... an early start to this year’s Winter watch is there a portent in that! Or have I been fooled by the media’s optimistic rumblings of cooling weather to come lol Here’s to a great season of weather watching.... whatever happens V

James Madden! squabbling in the model thread lol snowmaggedon from t-300 to t-24 then it’s shorts weather ! Headlines from the red tops re: weather (see first point! Lol) getting to March and thinking “was that it?”

Clear skies here too.... temperature’s rising again... wonder who’s going to get that raincloud?

Just had rain in Bedford!

Cloud cover coming in over Bedford...

oh joy...that'll make driving back fun!

Have to drive from Bedford to Market Drayton and back at 5am tomorrow morning! - that could be tricky!

Raining in Market Drayton .... and dry in Bedford!

It's almost the time to switch from forecasting to nowcasting... I hope this thread gets a little quieter and the regional boards fly Where would folks estimate FI to be at the moment and now nailed on is the mild spell after the weekend? V

more swings than a playground! FI seems to be about T48 - wonder what the rest of the runs will bring today???? up down up down up down - its certainly not boring !!!

well the thread now has 426 members reading it.... indication that a snowy spell may be incoming lol

"I'm sure I'll take you with pleasure!" the Queen said. "Two easterlys a week, and snow every other day." Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, "I don't want you to hire me – and I don't care for snow." "It's very deep snow," said the Queen. "Well, I don't want any to-day, at any rate." "You couldn't have it if you did want it," the Queen said. "The rule is, snow to-morrow and snow yesterday – but never snow to-day." "It must come sometimes to 'snow to-day'," Alice objected. "No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's snow every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know." "I don't understand you," said Alice. "It's dreadfully confusing!"

Actually...... the day after tomorrow!

oh the amount of excitement in the model thread is quite uplifting lol

At those temperatures.... it would be a BrrrrrrrrrrrrExit! apologies for punning in the model thread btw!

Own up.... who let the models be programmed by the Daily Express!

The only snow event certainty I’ll get from the model thread.... is when 1000 members start viewing

All very quiet on the boards today.... eyes down for the next run!!

It may be a quiet day on the boards.....but I’ve seen the phrase “father Xmas on acid” AND one of the mods mention a whole month of cold!!!

Is anyone else getting nervous? Lol Im busy reading the model posts and there is a perceptible belief something impressive is coming.... but have we been here before and it all comes crashing down? So much to play for! thoughts please.....

ooohhhh - I feel so more at home on a banter thread than trying to understand the model thread - I shall still look at the pretty pictures and try and work out what they mean lol
