Ramping Thread

[glasgow-guy]

The thing is, it's not the first time I've done this. And we all know when synoptics like this appear previously, it's not ended with me having the last laugh.

It's got to happen one day, right???

well i am going to wait till at least Thursday before announcing anything if at all

[Nights King]

Well maybe you'll have the last laugh.....

Haha i always do same thing at work, i just cannot help my self at times and then 2 weeks later it is raining and mild and you just hope they forgot your cold ramp but they dont. lol

Yes and everyone must wear white to the funeral!!

Ah the return of the snow risk on the 10 day forecast. If only i wasn't pessimistic enough to beleive this..., however i won't get shouted at on here so RAMP

[glasgow-guy]

I firmly believe that we will see a cold event hitting Britain around the middle of the month. how cold and how severe? time will tell all in the coming days.

Thursday the boards may go into melt down and we may get a clearer picture of events ahead for Britain. the ramping thread is a great idea but i am

really positive that the week beginning 14th. will bring some of us that elusive white stuff and cheer just before Xmas

Glasgow looks great covered in snow don't ya think?

[Thundery wintry showers]

Glasgow has undergone a lot of renovation in recent decades, and as a result some parts of the city are very grim, but some other parts are very nice (and sometimes nice areas and grim areas appear right next to each other).

An easterly can bring snow to Glasgow as happened a few times during the winter of 1995/96- usually via snow showers heading east-west across the Scottish Lowlands. However anything less than a full-on cold blast will probably give nothing. A similar assessment applies to Manchester which, as Mr_Data sometimes points out, is a lot more receptive to snow showers from a showery easterly than is often assumed on TV broadcasts. After all, Manchester isn't on the west coast, it's right at the foot of the Pennines and some way inland.

[memories of 63]

Just want to join in the fun!!!!

What wonderful charts. White Xmas here we come with the whole Country freezing shut

[Iceberg]

Widespread white Christmas guaranteed if this chart verified (which it won't)

We are getting very close to the added histeria of white christmas's now arn't we

[Altostratus]

Well those fantasy charts are quite possibly the best I've seen for snow potential - incredible. Long way to go yet, but nice to look at nonethless.

[jennyjane]

I wanna join in the ramping!!!!

Snow charts looking very good for us over here on the East coast for December 14th right up to 23rd!!!!

I do know the models can change before then but looks good right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAMP...........

[Snow Queen one]

i think if these charts come off i am in for a good dumping if i miss out after this then i will give up totally. These charts are really rare at this time of the year i have not seen charts like this for a long time if ever before xmas. Bring it on SACRA numbers are avaiable in the SACRA thread if anybody wants to join up.

[High Altitude]

If tomorrows 6z follows suit and is backed by the overnight runs i'm off to the bookies with a cheeky tenner.

[Barb]

Man the igloos!

[Kiwi]

[I remember Atlantic 252]

well just seen 12Z and thats unbelievable, snow for me next tues as beast moves in, saw 6Z was very cold and less snowy, but 6z more likely

[Edge of the moors]

The fantastic cold loving BBC Yorkshire weatherman, Paul Hudson just went for the chance of a white Christmas on BBC Radio York.

In fact, he was heading towards the bookies to get 8 to 1.....

He said that all the models were trending towards a dramatic change, which starts on Thursday. When pushed, he said he had been following an American weather bod who has a raging north easterley for us on the 23rd December.

Nice one Paul !!

[Fitzwis]

Recent autumns and winters have generally been full of cold "snaps" with snow teasers, but with nothing of any significance materialising. I can't help but "feel" that due to our lack of cold snaps this autumn and what we have had of winter so far, something "major" has been brewing (since about 1987 in fact!).

Get your Blue Peter sledge instructions out, lag those pipes and hold onto your pom poms for the Beast from the East is ready to rise from the grave :lol:

Monday from the 14-17 70%-80% chance of rain lets hope the forecast is wrong and really it means snow for me we should all be under high presure by then
