    Perhaps they're missing discussing wintry-looking synoptics...
  2. Come rain snow or shine
    The model output discussion on netweather is indicating a cold winter of 2018/19. One indication is a cold or coldish March now. Another is the expected solar minimum this year/next winter. Get ready for the beast of the east MkII, or polar lows, in 10 months' time.

    In a West Sussex wood this a.m. I got away from the snowfall [now rainfall - boo] radar and went to see a friend who lives in this wood, in a nice little [modern] shack...

    The Big T has arrived here, 10 miles north of worthing. All our snow will be gone by the morning unless the snow front of today stalls and then marches south. Unlikely lol but fronts have done that in the past.

    The desperate among us are hoping any rain tonight in our region will turn to snow as it hits inland a bit...
  6. Come rain snow or shine
    We don't know. Major cold and snowy winters bunched together in the 1960s, 1980s and the later 00s including, so here;s hoping for next year. Mid March might bring a cold spell.

    Brilliant! Thanks for the link.

    At home. Lots of newts here. Yes, cold kills slugs. I reckon i got bitten by a false widow spider 2 years ago. Talk about painful.

    It's a spin off, mini low, i think, judging by the pressure charts. Hope it contimues east and deepens. That would be more than fun.
  14. Come rain snow or shine
    I grow food, too. The gr8 thing about severe cold is that it zaps slugs, though I'm a bit concerned for a female great crested newt that was on the prowl for food at night two weeks ago. Hope she got snug at the first hint of the beast.

    March can deliver more snow than the other cold months. Prepare to open your wallet <evil grin> ... yet March can deliver warmth!

    No idea. I prefer to go beast hunting in the UK.

    My fav winters: 1962-63, which lasted for 3 months, with dense freezing fog in the first month, then the beast, with an occasional northern and western incursion, for nearly 3 months. Even the one or two western incursions were very cold, with snow, not rain. I had a newspaper round, on foot. Never missed one, and i was yet to become a teen. We had no central heating, tv or phone, and the loo was --- outside. Brrrr. Early-ish 1965. Cold and snowy at times. Also notable for the pirate radio stations, all at sea, starting to fill the airwaves. Xmas eve + Xmas day 1970. A cold North Easterly set in by 24th. Snow started at about 6pm that day; continued all night and well into Xmas day. Nice! Big, swirling flakes on the big day. Not long after, in Jan '71, the temp got to 18C in Wales - at that time the highest ever january temperature recorded in the UK. 1978/79. The 1970s were mainly marked by mild, *very* boring wet winters and two very hot summers, but by December 1978 things had changed. The winter was grey, cold, iced up and frosty, with the odd sunny spell. Not much snow where i was except for the occasional heavy job, which was very welcome. Lots of snow grains just b4 xmas, which turned the SE white but gave way to a non white xmas. Boo. But then the cold re-started. 1981/82. Often cold and snowy. A white xmas in the south and east at least, by which time the snow had lain for weeks, and been added to. Worth checking out. 1984/85: Great for snow. Even had a snow shower in Guildford in May '85. Check this winter out! January 1987. Totally 100% brilliant. 3 days of the beast + snow non stop for 3 days. A winter wonderland. Early 1991: Cold at times, with some good snow falls. 1995. Nice snow b4 xmas. Very cold spell of weather. 2009/2010. Mega. Dittto 2010/11. 2013. The March was excellent for snow. 2018. Boring until ... now.

    OK, here's a quick stab at mine: 1962-63, which lasted for 3 months, with dense freezing fog in the first month, then the beast, with an occasional northern and western incursion, for nearly 3 months. Even the one or two western incursions were very cold, with snow, not rain. I had a newspaper round, on foot. Never missed one, and i was yet to become a teen. 1965. Cold and snowy at times. Nota Xmas eve + xmas day 1970. A cold NE had set in. Snow started at aboy 6pm of the 24th; Contned all night and well into xmaa day.

    New York got the heat this week. In the 20s [C].
  23. Come rain snow or shine
    You're jumping the gun a bit. There will be more snow in March...
  24. Come rain snow or shine
    I remember 1956 ... as a young child, looking at a very frosty pavement with snowflakes frozen to it, and being amazed at white stuff that began to fall. I was hooked.
  25. Come rain snow or shine
    Yep, it's all on the table, starting in a few days.
