    Aye, it's been the same here!

    Well, whatever your comp decides, there's one heatwave that trumps all others: 16 consecutive days at 32C or above, in 1976!
  3. Methuselah
    I just told Mum to expect a lot of snow. . . And you know what that means!
  4. Methuselah
    Me neither: what's the point of high energy-bills when it doesn't snow?

    And, whatever you do, don't do a Piers Corbyn and claim success, even if you end up being a month out. But, that said, your methods are light-years ahead of his!
  7. Methuselah
    Indeed it's not. . . Unlike some of the guff we've had thrown at us, over the years!
  8. Methuselah
    Aye, CM, that'll be when the dy/dx of the sine wave will be at its maximum/minumum.
  9. Methuselah
    As with other appendages, it drops off!

    Well, although I'm neither moaning nor ramping, I just got myself a bright-blue fleecy thing from Lidl. . . I've a feeling I might be needing it!

    But the ceramic heaters do work, so long as you live in an insulated new-build flat like I do. But even I will resort to my gas central-heating should the weather turn nasty. But anyway, should you be living in an old-fashioned abode, with an empty cavity wall, no double-glazing and an uninsulated loft, you'll be paying a fortune to the Energy Cartels. My C&G in HVAC does have some use, after all!

    Brilliant post, MIA. . . I've been thinking along similar lines.
  13. Methuselah
    But there's always a positive about prolonged snow cover: It increases light levels, which cannae be bad! Rubbish!
  14. Methuselah
    I'm ready:

    That's always been my default position, MJB, as the bluster usually amounts to nothing. But this year seems to be different: temperatures in Europe are even colder than the -20s I remember from the Sixties; so, something's got to break? I just hope it doesn't wait until May!

    And, given my, admittedly failing, memory of quite a few stonking winters, I think @Tamara will be right enough. Here's to a snowfest!
  17. Methuselah
    It's coming! And Day 11, it is!
  18. Methuselah
    At -20C uppers? I'd guess at about -8C, like 1987. But, hopefully, it'll never come to that: Uppers of -11C will do nicely?

    Well, it's certainly getting interesting, and all that -- the Scott Ingham Singularity (SIS) might actually happen. But, despite the synoptic similarity to what I remember as a kid, the GFS has receded to Day 11! All that said, after @MattH's wonderful post, I do think a major pattern-change (a favourable one, for change) is becoming ever more inevitable. That's blown it!

    As is often the case, the models seem to be converging around what the Met's Deep Dive was suggesting:

    I bet @knocker is making his preparations early:
  22. Methuselah
    We're also due a 'big ECM' and a 'crucial GFS'.
  23. Methuselah
    Tory cuts?
  24. Methuselah
    And the state of play at the current juncture is:

    And, here's this week's Met. Office Ten-Day Trend: colder? Yes. Drier? Yes. Snowy? Not for a wee while yet. . .
