Winter weather chat, moans, banter and ramps
sparky1972 replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
well i have to admit that this little, i mean very little snow has cost me a tenner, which is the bet i had with the wife on this being a snowless winter, would sooner have had a fair bit more to make the bet worth losing, Haha, but with tonight being forecast to be the last frosty night, i can now look forward to much milder weather and hopefully an early spring to get through the last 7 weeks of Half Marathon training. -

first spots of rain here, temps well above forecast, timing was always going to be important, we are just a few hours on the wrong side -

morning all, well i was hoping for upgrades this morning in the way of snow potential, but alas, instead of sleet/snow, its now rain/rain with maybe a bit of sleet, can we have spring arrive now and warmer sunnier weather, this truely has been a winter to forget. -

i would love you to be right, but i think the front will arrive early and will start as rain, if it does turn to snow chances are it wont settle. -

looking like rain and sleet, certainly nothing to get excited about im afraid. -
the snow depth charts look like most will get a covering, but do they take into account that some places are going to see rain/sleet before poss turning to snow so alot of it wont settle?
-
it was a joke, i know temps are forecast to be a bit milder tomorrow and saturday, then its looking like the real cold will arrive soon after, well hopefully. lol bbc forecast for MBY for tommow is 11c and saturday 10c though

yep, just not going to fall right for us this year. although conditions this morning are lethal outside, light rain onto frozen pavements equals a very dangerous walk on the school run. ,lol -

morning all, after a winter of so close but so far for most regarding snow, i shall be looking forward to some milder weather on friday/saturday where temps are forecast to be 9c, beyond that, not looking overly cold so we might just have to accept that this winter might just be one of those where things just dont fall right. -
why or why would people put anymore faith in the models for 10 days away from now, after the fails that they have churned out so far this winter, what do we think the differences are this time around?
-
morning all, well, just back from my half marathon training run and my legs are knackered, so i might just chill on the sofa for the afternoon and get ready for the ups and downs of todays model output and fingers crossed a snowy cold outlook is just around the corner.

well i have to say last night was colder than forecast, here we are at 8.30am and the temp is -4.8c, very frosty, a cracking sun rise and looks to be a beautiful winters day, as we are not getting any snow this winter then this will do, also its that cold my half marathon training run will be a bit quicker to keep warm, lol -

well there we have it folks, our 1 and only chance of a decent cold spell has all but gone, i have to admit being disappointed, but on the plus side, half marathon training will be alot milder and dryer, and the £10 bet i had with the wife on this being a snowless winter looks very good. -

morning all, well plenty of postitve feedback in the Mod thread regarding the incomming chilly spell, for MBY we have some rain to get through tonight/tomorrow then a rainy showery day on tuesday then the forecast is for mostly cloudy skies and daytime temps no lower than 4/5c so feeling a bit more like winter but no deep freeze. -

well i have to admit to being surprised this morning that the mood in the Mod thread was so positive, but i guess now the only way is downgrades for a while and get to some half way point so chilly yes, maybe a bit of snow for the hills
