SNAP we from the same place basicly, im a little SE of heathrow...

my part of surrey has had nothing so far. Lucky!!

omg it says on google earth its currently heavily snowing in central London, i must live in the most unfortunate location ever!! this makes me want a caR. Also North and east of london plus the chilterns. can someone confirm?

is it snowing the chilterns area anyone, just wondering because i saw a forecast with snow around there also here in thames valley its on the edge at 0.5C and i was thinking out of town on hills to the north Snow?? if so might try to go there tommorow, if its worth it. its always on the edge of snow here but it never seems to happen. [barring last winters 10 inchess!! ]

i think we got maybe 2 millimeters yesterday >.> now 0. 4-8 INCHES was predicted, but somehow it missed me.

f all snow here, had a little early last night which melted. Somehow it all managed to miss me :[ now its strong sun and feeling warmer. today was forecast to be epic snow and ice with college canceled but no..., like 100% risk of 'moderate' snow,then nothing.

aaah 0.5C above and with the strong winds its melting fast. i really neeed snowday tommorow...

UPGRADE recent run points to a continued spell of temperatures around minus 6 with wind chill -12C and snow... we'll see..

hehe not whing Yet theres -11C WINDCHILL forecast in the SE for next week, but i will be whining if theres any more downgrades on SNOW this year I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad XD when it says 95% or 100% risk of snow a week ahead, i expect snow because it says 100% propapaility snow rawwhh!!!

solarcycle 24 Update - A small sunspot may have just rotated onto the eastern limb. hope not or that will be the end of our streak, solar flux up slightly to 72.

This is the first time id say this year there was real potential for some cold weather!! Lets just hope we get that Easterly/ northerly blast next week as currently forecast or, i suppose, even better over XMAS! :] i should remind myself its a Low confidence forecast though...

if we make 20 days this period will be in the tables as one of the longest spells, the last one i remember was 50 days or something.

m gunu go for a more Certain prediction somewhere between 7 and 13, unless there's some kind of climate catastrope. okay i guess 10.2C.

solar wind speed has been down near the unusually low 200 km/s this week. 11 days blank now, just a bit slow updating because there's no point. 2009 should fade out on a very quiet note.

wouldn't really surprise me if both the north and south pole had melted by 2100 unless something radical happens like a mini ice age or human influences.

Lol i wouldnt exactly call London 'well placed' for auroras, i too became intersted about 2 years ago and tbh it doesn't matter where u live u wont have seen anything these past 2 years unless your in Sweeden or something. But sure, occasionally they came down as far as paris, Norfolk is better place than London because theres practically no light pollution compared. There is hope yet!! [might be waiting another couple of years tho im afraid] "16 more to move past 2008's run of 265 day's" iT'S gonna be a very close one!! maybe it will be exactly the same!

where you getting this data from? Met? NW clearly shows 10 months in a row well abv average temperature. i do totally agree with your point there, there have been more above averages over the last few years than below.

Nuclear seems like quite a good option really, particularly as about 20% of energy is nuclear and it hasn't really caused any problems, its clean [well sort of..] and efficient. Its better than coal but these days we just use a bit of everything beause there is no coordination in deciding to find a single solution.

I wish humans would just slow down and take a few steps back to the stoneage and be the animals they are. things were better then. We make to many problems and fear of things that don't matter. To much emphasis of getting an eduction, getting a job, making money, crap economy, being successful and showing off, conforming with society, and if you cant then might aswell not be here. Not enough on happiness and making the world better. Things like man made GW and a wish for an end self destruction and of the planet stem from this. Apologies for if this seems off topic and angry[?], but one day you might see its true. You say ts common sense 50% it will be warmest ever, 50% coldest ever, doesnt really make sense, because i thought it was fairly obvious there will be a good chance it will be between these polar extremes, dont you think?

I agree:] you pretty much wrote what i was just thinking! XD

bit unlucky there mate :ph34r:

I agree, the last storm had much more media attwntion, ive only just found out about this as a flash warning now. 10-15% chance of TORNADOS seems worthy of at least proper acknowledgment. To be far this hasnt got the same high winds for me as the last yet though. This seems 2 be a year of breaking records..

im hoping for a T4 hurricane coming in ma bedroom

F10 seems like a lot to me, but then ive never lived near the sea.

thanks! :] ill watch out for showers, i didnt know showers really had anything to do with surface winds, i do now though lol!
