That is good news Boofer!! And yes Trump 

[Rocheydub]

Not sure if you guys voted for Brexit or not, but I was shocked that was passed.. But not as shocked as Trump.

 

Forget about the MOD thread, we'll have a nuclear winter soon enough!

Lol Rochey, am sure he will calm down now that he is in....

A nice frost this morning before the rain sweeps in, things still looking good for December, always prefer the white stuff in the early part of winter as opposed to March!

[ronan]

Yeah Pom there was a nice frost this morning. I was out photographing the Northern Lights last night and i was froze to the bone. Looking ahead things are looking real good!! Models have been consistant and it is looking like the first attack will be from the north west. Nice to see Fergie , GP etc all posting on a daily basis. Exciting times ahead.

Keep your camera out ronan, super moon on 14th, hopefully get clear skies and get the camera out myself

[ronan]

It will be charged and ready to go Gaz. Few photos from last night but the best of the Aurora was washed out by the moon. 

 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Wow love the photos Ronan, looking forward to this Super Moon on the 14th

[ronan]

Cheers Pom. Actually really lucky being so close to the north coast. Have had loads of great north lights shows this year and only a half hour drive.

[Sperrin]

Great shots, Ronan. To get the northern lights do you have to do a long exposure or is that a straight up shot without any fancy techniques?

Looks like we're in one of the better spots for this PM blast late next week. We've done really well out of these setups over the past few years.

My thoughts exactly Sperrin, always prefer Northerlies and North West from a IMBY viewpoint 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Good to see this!  

[Weegaz]

Was just about to post myself Pom, few on the mod forum mentioning the 17th for a couple of days now

[Sperrin]

Just to follow those charts the BBC weather app (taken with a lorry load of salt) showing my first snow symbols of the season. My altitude tends to give us the white stuff and it could be cold rain in Omagh down the road. Hopefully the charts ramp up the cold as the week progresses. That low out of Iceland has been on my horizon since Thursday past so great to see it still there as we move closer to +0hrs. 

Interesting reading on model thread as the FI charts start to sniff out the signals that Fergie had mentioned last week.

Slowly slowly increasing spread of cold and snow / sleet showers for thursday

[Weegaz]

And this theme follows suit through to Saturday.

Cheers Sperrin. Yeah a long exposure for the northern lights. Anything from 10 seconds up to 30 seconds. Just depend how strong the show is to. There is loads online to explain how to capture the lights.

[Sperrin]

GFS ensembles sorrowing a decent chance for snow at the end of the week. Used Omagh as the location for this forecast.  

[mountain shadow]

As previously discussed the potent Northerly will arrive with snow for some over high ground (sorry Pom!).

Then some models bringing in a cut off Greenland high with 2010 synoptics starting to show its hand.

And given the continued weakened PV, the whole of December could be pretty special.

[Sperrin]

Stole this from the model thread, looks like we all stand a good chance of seeing a bit of snow on Thursday.
