  1. Hello everyone,

    I'm hope no one objects to non-technical people like myself joining this forum. I joined when we had the snow event beginning of this year. The forum had me with either my nose glue to the window peering out into the night or my eyes franticly scanning the posts here to see if anywhere close had snow falling. The forum gave me people to talk to who didn't say "put the kettle on and stop looking out of the window, your letting all the heat out".

    Hope it starts to get cold soon.

  2. She said heavey snow first to weeks in Feb and thats what we got. For me thats pretty acurate considering it was forecast last october. Yes I agreed the rest is pretty sketchy, but she usually gets major events right. Don't forget she only has a few lines, a couple of times a year in the local news paper. She may well be able to give a more detailed forecast, with only a sideline in a local paper to go on, that is only supposition.

    Anyway as I originally said I thought it was interesting, I didn't say it was gospel. :yahoo:

  3. This was published in the Harborough Mail in October 2008, its spot on for the snow we have just had. Thought some of you may find it interesting I have added the link to the Harborough Mail web site.

    Weather tips from Joyce

    Published Date: 16 October 2008

    LOCAL amateur weather forecaster Joyce Dunkley of Little Bowden, has produced her forecast for the autumn/winter, based on observations taken at the autumn equinox.

    She has warned of a cold winter, with the worst of the weather in the New Year, when there could be spells of heavy snow.

    December will bring a cold, but mainly dry, few weeks but it should be milder around Christmas.

    Miss Dunkley correctly forecast a misty start to October, dry and a few sunny days, but we should be prepared for high winds in the last two weeks.

    November will be an unusually bright month, cold but dry with a few misty days and an odd frost.

    There will be a cold and windy start to January with a little sun and frosts, turning even colder with a strong chance of snow after the 20th.

    February will be the worst month of the winter, cold and windy with heavy snow for the first two weeks. March will be changeable with the possibility of snow showers.

    The full article contains 176 words and appears in Harborough Mail newspaper.

  5. Hi, I've been reading your comments since yesterday. I have been swaying from being elated thinking of more some and feeling fed up when some of you say no more snow just rain. I do so hope it snows and lots of it.

    Here in Hinckley its been raining most of the day, infact the rain has just got a little heavier, The temp has been 4.4c most of the day but has just dropped in the last half hour to 2.9c.

    Its been great entertainment reading all the posts :huh:
