    Patience, patience Today was always going to be the most benign day of its arrival. It's only just getting going.

    Three words I thought I'd never hear again: long fetch easterly.... Music to my ears

    Anyone remember the date of the '08(?) easterly - a Sunday afternoon and overnight snowfall that gave us a direct hit and about four inches of fairly decent snow? Following day was sunny and cold-ish, but it was all over pretty quickly. But not talking about the '09 storm.

    29.5 grains and counting... And this latest debacle just shows/proves that for all their meteorological nous, the boys and girls in the MAD thread actually do not know how the weather will pan out, despite how much they are lauded in there. Since 2009 I've seen thousands of posts and read thousands of opinions which ultimately end up wide of the eventual mark. I'm not saying I doubt their expertise, but for me, it is the Met Office who almost always seem rock solid in their take on how things will pan out and I am yet to be proved wrong.

    I don't know where you are all getting this drizzle from. My phone says '-31, blowing snow conditions with a wind chill of -46.' A proper cold spell. Yes folks, throughout this miserable, disappointing winter I have been living vicariously through the weather of Iqaluit as a way of tapping into my need for cold and snow. One can but dream.

    Love a good drizzly Easterly...

    I swear anything remotely cold and snowy gets pushed away by the utter desperation of the Coldies in the Model Discussion Thread. Anyway, I for one quite like this dry, cold dullness. Better than the endless zonal train we had last year.

    Just in case certain members from the Model Output Discussion thread decide to pop by... 'To' is a preposition which begins a prepositional phrase or an infinitive. 'Too' is an adverb meaning "excessively" or "also. It's really not that difficult!

    Useful in covering the aris of local councils...

    And from people's lack of an understanding about what causes snow.

    Disappointing if it does. Almost as disappointing as the news of the wantaway Frenchman this morning.
  12. Mac_SE
    Is looking that way, but it's forecast to be temporary, with the colder air (supposedly) pushing back in.

    Just watched that Met Office Facebook vid and it's pretty selective to have cherry picked the '15cms' statement out of the three scenarios they presented. It's a rain to snow event with the possibility of seeing nothing, a few wet flakes or a period of heavier snow for a time. Think people should manage their expectations accordingly.

    Only wish he had been around in the 70s when I was a kid, a massive Coldie and my parents used to buy the Express... "Mum, Dad, we're getting a SNOW BOMB!!!!"
  15. Mac_SE
    The Express' 'SNOW BOMB: Wall of SNOW to SMASH UK as deadly blizzards hit in COLDEST freeze for 53 YEARS' headline, apart from just how utterly ludicrous it all is, just makes me laugh heartily each time I read it. Rao's finest hour, surely. Certainly brightened up my day.

    Has been a while since a spell of solidly cloudless skies. There has been a tendency to have them forecast in the longer term only for them to be downgraded to sunny spells nearer the time.

    It's a surface pressure chart, so illustrates low pressure to the north of Scotland and an anticyclone (an area of high pressure commonly known as the Azores high) to the south-west of the UK, with the consequence that the jetstream runs west to east right across the UK. For more traditional July weather weather we need the jet to move further north of the UK allowing the high to move up and over the UK.

    Agree 100%. My gas is £90 a month for a robustly insulated four-bed house and definitely not on 24/7. Back to the snow: disappointing that the SE (London) snow shield has once again been implemented!
  19. Mac_SE
    Snow was heavy for about 5 minutes but just the dancing flakes now. Wind just as strong though. Any snow forecast through from the east for us SE Londoners overnight?
  20. Mac_SE
    Proper blizzard in the Channel Islands! Not sure I ever saw snow like that in London even in the Jan 87/Feb 91 snowstorms.
  21. Mac_SE
    Darker skies and more persistent snow blowing around now. Could be an interesting one across SE London today.
  22. Mac_SE
    Definitely no chance of any variablly sized bluebells with this weather... Pretty desperate stuff this waiting for a few flakes of the white stuff. Still, better than the zonal train.
  23. Mac_SE
    A flower??!! Btw just heading back to south London. No need to strap on the snow shoes??
  24. Mac_SE
    What on earth is a 'warmist left wing agenda'?!

    Think you've hit the nail on the head there Alpine. Given how knife-edge snow events seem to have been this winter and how we've all struggled for serious snowfall, it's surely the tease in the models that has kept us all glued to NW, even when the Atlantic was in full control. How many in here feel that a full-on beauty of a chart during winter perks us up no end, especially when what normally verifies is something of a let down. So here's to a productive streamer tonight and a great way to end this winter. Also, shouldn't begrudge the Channel Islands their snow event. Hope they get plastered. Must be incredible for them to be sitting under a red warning, especially in March.
