How To... Make It Through The Winter On The Nw Forum!

[stingrays4]

Hi yep winter very interesting time of year and a good guide to follow aswell . Yep of course it will SNOW somewhere

[OldGreggsTundraBoy]

Paul, I'd like to add one:

There's no need to accuse the MetO, BBC (to name the two most picked on) and anyone else on the planet of being useless just because they haven't agreed with your totally unrealistic hopes for 40 metres of snow in Dorset (or anywhere else).

Goes and ducks from incoming snowballs.

we'd all be crushed to death/ buried alive if there was 40 meters of snow!! if the met office forcast thaT people would literally go insane, before realising it was a typo and they meant to put 40mm.

The best thing ever was last year, it was January and i was wondering if thered be any more snow that year and after only about a week of using netweather lots whoo -- 100% chance snow a week in advance- at no point was it downgraded, think it even upgraded, and it sure did snow --10 inches!

scince then things have been a bit more disappointing, havent even had first frost yet, this time last year wed had snow & ice.

Not sure, but isn't the 'telford' (mm in S.I.) the new foot?

[OldGreggsTundraBoy]

getting thro this winter on netweather = not doing any of this

[I remember Atlantic 252]

But it's so ruddy true!! LOLOL.

As for thunderstorms they have become as rare as snow these days ...

I also say we (or at least I) dont get the fogs I used to now in the christmas pudding, less fog, less snow and generally less cold weather

[TEITS]

And, on occasion, that even extends to: I know it's snowing but I just can't see it!

Classic.

I love NW in the winter and the usual madness that occurs on the threads.

[Methuselah]

Classic. :lol:

'Morning Dave...

And, how the net-weather community (as a whole) has evolved since the days of the Snowatch bunfight...You could 'almost' call it a modern era??

[andy_leics22]

LMAO great list.

[noggin]

Please.......

......if we get a nice lot of snow again, as many of us did in February, can we have the regional threads again? They were grrrrreat!

Well, I think so, anyway!

[Guest North Sea Snow Convection]

With Winter fast approaching,

And finally... The weather will do what the weather does - so lets' just enjoy the ride

Great thread Paul

And what you have said is so very true.

And I agree most of all with the last sentence. The weather will indeed do what the weather does!

[mountain shadow]

And don't forget that if it does snow, you should be out playing in it, not on here posting about it!!.

was great yeah, bad now though in the christmas pudding, now IF we get snow, not WHEN we get snow as I used to think in the 90's and earlier

[Methuselah]

If only the term 'modern era' could be accidentally swear-filtered? :o

[chionomaniac]

If only the term 'modern era' could be accidentally swear-filtered? :o

Yes, and accidentally replaced with the word 'atmosphere'.

[Fozfoster]

If only the term 'christmas pudding' could be accidentally swear-filtered?

Yes, and accidentally replaced with the word 'atmosphere'.

Quotes of the day for me, Mind you it is only 7.05am

[cyclonic happiness]

Warm sectors...............the most dreaded term!! :o

[jimmor]

You should also add this one:

No matter how circular a wispy cloud is to the north of Scotland, it is NOT a polar low.

That one is aimed at myself.

This deffo needs to go on the list. I remember clearly all the argy bargy about polar lows last winter

[Turnedoutniceagain]

More of this please.

BTW, check out the charts at +996 !! Awesome - at least a 25 mtr drift !!!

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.

Hi CR...Sleet watch (using an open fanlight) was one that always annoyed my parents! :unsure:

I have to say that it's my parents who instilled in me my love of snow and I'm doing the same to my grandchildren.

[Paul]

Welcome CR, of course you're welcome - definitely no need to be technical to join & to join in

Hi, you will find lots of people who are happy to lamp post watch at 4am (from their room of course) for a sign of a flake of snow, so you will be in good company.

Joined on my birthday as well which has over the years often had snow, especially my 21st

we need a clutching at straws smiley to get through
