Met Office and BBC Weekly/Monthly Outlooks
MIKE LEVITT replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Lot of cold weather in latest monthly outlook,yet bbc temps for hull next weekend and next week saying temps around 8.i dont call that cold -
February 1969,easily the best i remember.frequent northerly winds,heavy snow or heavysnow showers.type of weather we rarely get now.the east coast has never had it so good for heavy snow showers on a north wind.

as per usual in these situations nowadays,hull and east yorkshire has had mostly rain all day.as as been said nothing seems to deliver .portant northalies dont ever produce like they used to ,nor easterlies.i also think the rise in temperature due to global warming,has resulted in a lot of these marginal set up around here makes a difference.where we used to get sleet or snow is now rain or sleet.and to be honest i think snow will get even rarer in the future.

dont get the hype for this so called cold spell,currently 6 centigrade in hull and despite met o weather warnings of snow showers,theres not a trace of a flake.hope im wrong but im not confident we ll get any snow on thursday or friday.the way this winter has gone in hull it will more than likely be cold rain.

well the 3 months of winter nearly over and in hull its been a total bore fest.we ve had some dire winters for snow the last few years,but this winter tops the lot.even forgetting the total lack of snowfall,the whole winter has been tedious.i ve been interested in the weather for 40 plus years since my youth,but in the last few years my interest has waned,nothing much seems to happen.we get weeks of high pressure always seemingly situated the south and south east of the uk.even in the unsettled periods most of the low pressures seem to pass by the north of scotland.be nice to get a really portant and snowy northerly ,but again it never happens nowadays.

wish we could get another february like 1969,i was still at school,but remember the frequent north winds coming for most of the month.heavy frequent snow showers most days.every so often you would get a short mild blip,then yet another depression would rattle through and the north wind would roar down again.type of weather we rarely get nowadays.happy days

yet another terrible january for snow,having said that januarys rarely deliver in hull and east yorkshire.i remember we had a snow fall in jan 2013,but nothing special.the last really heavy snowfall in hull was 2010 and the really heavy snow fell in the last few days of november and first week of december.februarys also are now poor for snow.by the time you get to march,if it snows it rarely lies on ground long,as the sun is that much stronger.i may be wrong,but im not expecting much in the way of wintry weather for the rest of this winter.
