    The trouble is they're bedevilled if they do warn us and bedevilled when they don't. In the current setup it's the track of the depression over the top of SW England and not to the NW which has spared us of the wind. It was always a tricky one to call which the Met have well emphasised in recent days. You are right though of course and winds are nowhere near as bad as yesterday when we were directly on the windward side of a depression out to our West.

    i do expect a short squally band of rains to swing East across our area later as winds switch to the West or NW accompanied by a sharp drop in temperature. I notice this has already occurred in the Scilly Isles and West Cornwall.

    Nice one SB :)

    The problem for me and others away from the SE its not the best of patterns we have seen over the last few weeks, while it was generally cold across your region it was mild drizzlefest up here.

    Think i have recorded around 9 hours of snowcover up here since mid November, pathetic in anyones book.:(

    I'd be happy to record 9 mins.Count yourself lucky.

    Couldn't agree more mate...IF I had a pound every time  someone talks about potential for an Easterly!  It's not happening...all the potential is doing is wasting winter away while we get stuck in no man's land!  When was the last time we had a potent easterly....speaks volumes.

     

    In all seriousness I think the mods should open up a 'potential easterly' thread to save the rest of us the boredom.

    Been Easterly here for the last few days,yesterday was quite fresh and felt cold with it .

    Quick question for you.....I know the Wavecrest Café down by the lifeboat station is being renovated, just wondering have you seen it recently? It's my absolute favourite café in Cornwall, spent many a happy hour just gazing out to sea from their veranda, please tell me they're not turning it into some trendy/ssemolinay, serve food on a bit of slate and tea out of an old jam jar kind of place - are they?

    Actually,i'm not sure. Trying to think of the last time i was down there.While ago i think.

    Pretty sure my wife was there recently,she works in Mullion.I'll ask her later.

    Sure you will still be able to Watch the Cornish Chough's  going about their business,

    I live in porthallow near the Helford river,only really  go down Lizard way to play Darts on friday night's:)

    I shouldn't worry about snow flurries but yes quite cold over the UK for the weekend but hopefully our micro climate should keep us out of too much trouble. Anyway cracking morning here so I'm off to see Sidney.

    I here there's to be a squirrel cull in Tehidy woods,someone is feeding them to much apparently.

    Tell Sidney to be afraid,very afraid.:sorry:

    Agreed, I can only think of 1988 as comparable for zilch happening, just the azores high/euro slug in dominating form for extended periods since October.

    Hardly even a decent deep low crossing the UK to mix things up a bit!

    How anyone can think what we have suffered this winter so far is better than raging zonal  is beyond me, at least then you could get cold shots from the North or North - West as Lows depart..

    Each to their own of course.

    You obviously don't work outside.

    Lack of cold (snowy) weather aside,i've loved this winter. Been able to get out and work in it most days.I'll need a holiday come spring lol:)

    Reminds of 2013 when Devon and Cornwall were on near lock down for a red alert snow storm, for it to only go to the channel islands who got a foot of snow...and in March! :wallbash:

    Thankfully I've got through therapy now....

    Thank's for reminding me.:nonono:

    Remember that day well,saw a few bits of dust for about 5 mins and then nothing,such a waste:wallbash:

    Here's hoping this time, thing's might be different although i ain't telling anyone, anything yet.

    Love it that it's soooo unusually cold for there that someone has donned a war time 'great coat'. That's the same winter which prompted the Hannah Hauxwell book & film 'Too long a winter', it was particularly harsh up in the Northern Pennines.

    Probably Knocker in the war time coat. He's a cold'y at heart:cold:
