Thanks MIA. I have tried a few alternatives. Why did they disband the snow chart.? I have heard a lot of weather watchers and internet channels say that daily information and data is being ever more restricted which makes it harder for people to see for themselves what is really going on with the climate.

I am in the camp this is caused by Solar cycles and other natural cycles. The increased cloud cover is a symptom caused by increasing cosmic rays in which Henrick Svensmark work has shed much light.. In a cumulatively warming atmosphere there should be ever less cold air available to start producing increasing amounts of snow.

Midlands Ice Age. Nice summary of events. I jump to the conclusion this is all down to the low Solar Activity now being called the Eddy minimum. I have seen many historic temperature charts that show warming in Alaska and cooling in Western Europe during a Grand Minima so I am not surprised by what we are seeing now.

There is a buzz of excitement as we see early snow in locations across the northern hemisphere. Ski resorts in most places had a bumper year last as well. My point is this will be an opportunity to really see how much of an impact a prolonged spell of low Solar really can have and what that means going forward. Cycle 24 was very weak and cycle 25 is predicted to be the same or even weaker.

This looks like being a deep minimum infact we seem to be entering a Grand Solar Minimum so I am optimistic about the next three winters and winter prospects for decades to come.

1981-82 is still king for me although a few occasions since have been ok. There seemed to be weeks of increasing frost before snow hit before Christmas. Then there were bouts of heavy snow with deep drifts.

I am not an expert and rarely post but today on the sea ice map I noticed what seemed to be a bridge of ice connecting Greenland and Iceland. In previous years this has been discussed by regular users of Net Weather forum although not actually observed. I know it was a regular feature many years ago but when did this last happen?. Will this be the start of a new trend as we seem to be entering a new Grand Solar Minimum. I would like to see some discussion on this as there seems to be no winter thread running now. If you are out there Born from the voiid or anyone did you see the ice map today. Sorry there one seems to be no ice bridge looking at the same site a few minutes ago. Nothing to see here please move along. The ice along the east coast of Greenland has extended beyond the season average red line in recent weeks however. I can't explain the sudden change on the NSIDC.

just to clarify, I was not suggesting Catacol-Highlanders post was not scientific but actually agreeing with his line of logic by using my own unscientific analogy. -

regarding the low strat temps. I think of it as keeping its powder dry for the big hit, maybe not scientific but still. Good news that the sunspot spike seems to have ended it might help. -
Snow and Ice in the Northern Hemisphere 2013/14
Winter wonder replied to Isolated Frost's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
indirect I know, but ash emissions at 37,000 ft for Mt Sinabung Indonesia. Several volcaoes seem ready to go in that region. A big eruption COULD be in the offing and that would be a bonus for next winter. Worth keeping an eye on. -

The beauty of these forums is the exchange of thoughts and ideas by all. I am interested in everything but will never know everything. Pretty sure we are heading for global cooling though. -
