[Snowangel-MK]

Afternoon all.

Currently perched on a bar stool in the Toby Carvery in Milton Keynes, enjoying the first pint of the day. I won't sit here all afternoon, as I don't want to fall off the perch later.

I'll see whoever turns up here later.

 

 

 

Afternoon Steve and all 

 

Well there will defiantly be two of us turning up around half 5 

[Jax]

So I can play tunes on it while waiting?

[MP-R]

Has been a lovely day so far - with a drop in the wind it's actually very pleasant out indeed!

[Jax]

Turned cloudy here again (bugger!)

[Jax]

Dr Who night *excited* ( I am such a geek when it comes to such events, oh dear! )

[chilly milly]

Me too.  I'm watching at the cinema tonight then up to Excel tomorrow.  Sorry the group meetup really wasn't a contender this weekend.

[Charltonkerry]

Can I say "PICTURES!" or have I overstepped the mark?

Not being very good on technical things like that I don't know if I will be able to get them on here, but I will give it a try, if I succeed I am sure you will be able to use them to keep your kids / grand kids etc away from the fire :-).Whose a clever boy then! Hers indoor with some old git, commonly known as Charlton Kerry :-) least I now know how to add a photo from my iPad, eat your heart out you youngsters :-) Edited November 23, 2013 by Charltonkerry

Really pleasant day here today. Almost 100% clear skies. Although it's very chilly out there.

Have a great night tonight, for the NW meet up.

[Captain Shortwave]

The north sea stratus has arrived I see, bye bye sun

Add heavy drizzle to the mix now

Add heavy drizzle to the mix now

At least i got to disinfect the rubbish and sort the recycling while it was fairly ok.

 

I know, this makes you all jealous of my fabulous life, and wish you were doing the same.

Wall to wall sunshine in Brighton today, but a chilly wind swirling around, especially noticeable up on the Downs.  Stunning views to be had, clear air, low sun.  Autumn sliding into winter.

It looks like Southernman has fixed the washing machine, the filter was blocked and once it was cleared it started working again.

[alexisj9]

Finally it has been clear and dry for a few hours, wonder if this will last or if cloud or more showers will come along. Been nice to get a look at Venus tonight.

gfs 12z ensembles

 

again take your pick

 

i would call fi on the 27th as a big spread even there

 

certainly call it on the 27th

 

the main run on the 2nd goes into one

 

and the control run is ramp heaven

 

the 6th is best ( a 15 degrees spread between the control run and the main gfs run )

 

best bet is stick to 144 for now

hi bjaykent

 

the control run was progammed by me

[Charltonkerry]

Just for Jax,sorry they are not great photos,

Charlton Kerry and Marion getting ready for our normal Saturday night in. No rude comments please, us old hippy's can't grow old gracefully. Must admit to the wife not looking to bad, for an old bird of nearly 60, to be honest she looks better now than, what 36 years ago when we got married.

Ps got no idea why the photo are turned 90 degrees but, that properly how we will look around 11 tonight.

I think the most encouraging signs for cold further down line seems to be the main part of the polar vortex looks like setting up towards Siberia, might just have to wait a little while for the stubborn high to our sw to make its move on Greenland and make us all very happy.

i still reckon the charts are struggling re the solar output

 

it is weakening now and takes around 7-10 days to notice re the jet stream

 

this is all assuming it stays quiet

 

i would not be surprised to see the control run shown as the 18z tonight

 

got to go out now as microwave has just died

 

back later

 

hope everyone is ok
