    i have a feeling im going to be doing a lot of street light watching tonight! :D

    And there was me thinking I was the only one going to be doing this!!!!....so far, we've been starved of the white stuff and as a result I'm on a right downer!!!:nonono:

    Mr. Paul Hudson on the local BeeB said we might see some tonight or overnight, but I'm not holding my breath :whistling: .....but one thing's fer sure.....it's literally bone chillingly cold out there :cold: :cold:

    Hmm i hope it sticks around unitil christmas although the chances are pretty slim at best! That sounds like a lot of fun! My first interests in the weather if i remember correctly were when i was about 8. I remember looking up at the sky and telling everyone it was going to snow and sure enough about half an hour later, it did. And that got me interested in forecasting! :) this winter was the most snowy in my memory with 4 foot drifts at the nans house in queensbury, but i can remember sometime in 2007 going up to castle hill and it was over waist deep in the moats and there were snowballs 6 foot high! :D

    Hello again jacobob, sry had to go yesterday as I would of responded to your post earlier. There seems to be a lot of interest on the model output in respect of this cold spell and I'm well and truly glued to it all!!!.....I am hoping we can experience some good snowdrifts to form as is being hinted at for possibly the weekend and next week...if the models verify that is!!. Would luv to go up Castle Hill after a good snowfall, especially if theres been some strong wind and drifting....I bet it's great fun up there in winter. I've lived in Huddersfield for about 5 years now and still havent been up to castle hill yet!!!.....It's good in Summer too isnt it?!!:whistling: I just hope Huddersfield gets it's fair share ofsnow to lower levels too.....as higher elevations looking more favoured for any decent snowfall.

    He he yeah getting back to the subject...im also a complete novice really, even though ive studied and have been interested in the weather since i was about 5! That aside i can still understand synoptics and patterns ect. and i think that west yorkshire will do well on the cold side of things but wont fair as well as east and north yorkshire when it comes to snow, although there is a chance for frontal snow or battle ground senarios as we head towards the weekend and next week! If this happens we will do better than the north and east! :D

    great!, I'll get me thermals out an me wellies at the ready then!!!. I've been folowing (or trying to!!) the Model Outputs and there definately seems to be some definate possibilities of some very disruptive snowfall. There also seems to be growing agreement that this cold and very cold could last for some time.....here's looking forward to a white Christmas again??. I think I my interest in the world/weather started around the Seventies.....and Eighties, the latter I remember well, I think it was 85? (not got a great memory!) when we had 6ft snowdrifts and cold like I've never since experienced!!....I lived in South Wales at the time.

    i see what youre getting at but its the case with everything. you read into something, get fixed and want to read more and more, and its got to the stage now where the '2012 end of the world' is becoming a religion. trust me nothing is going to happen, the reason there isnt a next myan chapter is because they died out thousands of years ago! but lets not get into this because i left another winter forum because everyone was arguing about 2012!

    hmmm yeah something strange is going on with the earth lately but i think its down to the low solar activity weve had.

    ahh bradley, i finnished at all saints last year! :D

    Ok, feel a little more assured!!!....how do you think this cold spell will pan out for us living in west yorkshire?...I'm an absolute novice and try to follow the model output thread in all of its complexities and from what I can gather so far, the charts that are showing now are truly exceptional for the time of year?, if you know a bit more than me (and you probably do!!) I would apreciate your thoughts as I have seen you post on the model output thread?....that is, in between the 'off topic' comments :whistling:

    its okay, but things you read on 2012 websites do tend to be hyped up a little! what did you read about the climate shift in siberia? and yes volcanic activity is picking up and 2010 has been one of the most active years on record! and to be honest theres a lot to be panicky about lately, especially north korea firing missiles at south korea just today! :shok: but thats slightly off topic! :D

    just noticed youre from huddersfield! nice one, im from brighouse! :D

    I hear what you say about the hype on 2012, but, there is a reason for the hype?....I honestly believe that Scientist (not all) could be doing this to try to get us to listen?....i prefer to err on the side of caution and although dont consider myself to be an alarmist or get carried away with 'hype' the more I read about our climate the more alarmed I become :help: ...!!!!!....tis not looking good is it?....it's almost as if Mother Earth is saying to us ' you dont honestly expect to get away with stripping me bare and bleeding me dry do you'!!....

    In respect of the article I read re the climate change/shift in Siberia, it was a very long and sometimes complicated description relating to the release of Methane gas at a 'PERILOUS' rate, and went on to say that it could trigger the Global Climate Shift....you really have to read it, but be warned, it is not painting a pretty picture and after reading it all sorts of things are starting to cross my mind :shok: ......anyway (intake of breath).....worrying times ahead re Korea situation.(eeeek!!) I'm nr Leeds rd (Bradley)

    Ive also read this and i can confirm it to be true! Or at least this is the case for the ssts around the uk since ive been comparing this years temperature maps for north america/atlantic/europe to last years and they are much, much colder this year. When i get a bit of time ill stitch them together and post them on here. :)

    I have a feeling this is to do with what i mentioned earlier on in the topic. Because of the weak state of the gulf stream/north atlantic drift i think that once the waters in the north atlantic have cooled, they will have trouble warming back up which i think will prolong winters and lead to cooler springs.

    Thanks for your reply jacobob, I thought it might of been hype!!....not looking good for Mother Earth is it?....I'm not surprised she's upset and wanting some payback!!....I will be keeping an eye on those 'buoys' around the UK for a while!!. I have now just read theres been a climate change/shift in Siberia, and its being classed as an Emergency!!...some Russian Scientist has just reported this today on the 'RSOE EDIS' website....must admit, when I read this my toes started to curl!!...you may also notice that there has been renewed Volcanic Activity being reported.........am I being a bit too panicky????

    Thanks to all for your recent post, I actually find gw's post very informative and pretty well balanced, even to a novice like me!!......but me heads well and truly mashed......information overload I think!!. re 'tipping points', I truly believe we have reached quite a few of these in relation to our climate and I'm not liking what I'm reading. Why must we bleed mother nature dry and strip her bare?......maybe it's her way of telling us that there is a price to pay now that we have/are doing this.......we seem to be seeing signs of this already.

    We read, we study, we learn...

    We do indeed nimbilus, the evidence is everwhere if you look hard enough. It's the same old thing, they wont aknowledge something unless it has already happened...otherwise, it's an educated guess. There seems to be evidence in favour of both warming and cooling of the planet, but I for one, truly believe that cooling will win out the argument.

    Gulf Stream still very weak. Not only that but many other ocean currents have either vanished or are greatly weakened. I am sure there are short term variations in the speed of the stream but surely nothing of this magnitude.

    We need a new thread on this which focuses on just facts without linking to people like the Earl of Sterling!!!!

    I agree, I have been keeping an eye on this ever since this discussion started. Something is happeining to the ocean currents, but the question is 'why'?, and what could be the effects of this happening?...or are we seeing this already (super typhoon megi?)

    This is quite interseting too;-http://neven1.typepad.com/blog/

    I completely agree, it is in our best interest to at least 'listen' and 'read' as much data as we feel comfortable with. If we ignore it, or dismiss any of the findings, research both past and present, would only leave ourselves in a position that we might not want to be in. Best to be forewarned and forearmed, then to be regretfull if the unthinkable should happen this winter.

    personally, even a complete novice like me, wouldnt ignore some of the findings reported by 'New Scientist' etc, and the links that I have folowed on here. They all make very interesting and informative reading. To completely disregard them all as complete 'BS' , 'Twaddle' , or whatever else you care to label it as, is just as ignorant. The gulf stream 'has' either slowed or 'stopped' according to findings, and that cannot be ignored because it will have an impact on weather patterns in many parts of the world, in fact, in the states, they have recorded a hailstorm with hailstones the biggest they have ever recorded.......coincidence...NOT!.

    Apologies, I have M.E and can often get words mixed up or mis-spelt. I was meaning 'La Nina', I was asking how much of an influence it could or would have on our coming winter. As you so kindly put it, its not that clear cut, so that answers my question, in part at least!!. Also, I understand the jet stream is further south(or expected to be over winter) and this is also something to factor in. It's never clear cut is it to us novices!!

    Thank you for replying.

    I would welcome the above. Anything has to be better than the grey, dreary drizzle I've experienced for the past few weeks.

    Model discussion does make me laugh sometimes though - I have never, ever come across such mood swings in the space of hours!! Thank goodness I have a few years of experience behind me to know who are valid posters and those to take with a pinch of salt. I pity any new member reading this thread right now.

    I am one of the newcomers and I find it difficult enough to try and get an even basic understanding of the weather, so i would have to agree...no offence to anyone tho.!
