four seasons in one day

Our annual toy appeal has thankfully been quite successful, much thanks to some in mod chat Yes it is only the weather.

What with all the ever present wind and rain there's a chance of some very heavy showers with local hail/thunder and gusty winds pushing through overnight, initially into western areas some continuing into the New Year's Eve period. Should have cleared through by the evening for many. Don't be surprised to hear a rumble or two of thunder.

One flake would do even if it melts. Just one? Winter can't be over yet surely. Unless I believe some posters that are full of...doom and gloom.

Not many chippies then. Plan A al fresco, trust me. Fresh sea food en route?

Noted cheers. Any update at a later date regarding Spring appreciated. Apologies if reply in wrong thread, thanks.

Funny guy No really!

Not too bad just 70mph? tiny who?

Awaiting the first mention of blizzards by fergie. May take some time yet. 2000+ likes guaranteed lol.

And a very good book can come in handy As for fish or chips, I'd do my own considering all mod cons are at a premium then why bother. Back to basics, enjoy.

Chips? Steaming hot linguine, think lobster, crab and half a plate of crisp salad. Malt makes a great flambé producer lol.

Thanks Knocker, doesn't look too bad. If I can't have one of those historical, Cornwall cut off from the world snowfalls, then I'll settle for an Atlantic, blowing a hoolie storm - going to be in a Landmark Trust cottage, perched on the cliff top, listening to the waves crashing below. No TV, no mobile signal, no Wifi, no landline, advised to take candles as power can be a bit dodgy, like stepping back in time. I'd seriously consider taking a barbecue. Cooking al fresco, brisk sea air, not forgetting a good single malt. Bliss? Best sea food can be cooked on a hot flame, every time and in minutes!

Little sign of a let up then? I'd imagine with temperatures potentially nearer low single digits there's a higher chance sleet and snow will add to the mix for some. Dare I say even a chance of blizzards considering a much colder flow is being introduced into these deep lows. Looks like possibly another biggie around the 7th taking a more southerly trajectory, definitely a busy period coming with greater chances of a sting in the tail regarding snowfall for some?

Youtube footage of York flooded out January 1982. Meanwhile in Wales, 1982, same month around the 8th. Whopping great snowstorm and this was followed by some record low temperatures and snow in parts of England. That was some big freeze. http://www.nineoaks-fisheries.co.uk/news/history-1982.html More here, also worthy to note some interesting synoptics elsewhere in Europe.. https://forum.netweather.tv/topic/74405-blizzard-of-january-1982/

In answer to the question, not entirely fussed. But I am also warming to another idea or if we equally started to name big fat areas of high pressure that sit around for a few weeks, hardly budging, providing decent warm and of course tonnes of sunshine. Any thoughts on that one

Must be some rather eye opening forecasts in Iceland today.
