Definitely quote of the winter season so far.. Sums it up perfectly Nick

Very strange outside my office here in Central Belt, Scotland... eerie sky colour due to Saharan dust and fast moving clouds going opposite directions. Hope this can be seen in this video clip... Yet the trees are hardly moving.. IMG_4864.MOV

Paul me too... count me in.. hope thisisnt too late

Hurricane Kal

Here. Here bigsnow.. Was in George sq today.. Fortunately I had left the scene around 2.20 and walked along the road that the lorry mounted the pavement.. Puts things into perspective when you consider the amount of petty squabbles recently in here.. There are more things to life than computer models... Thought with families and the emergency services and ultimately the glasgow people who again demonstrated respect, calmness and helping others while risking their own life..... Perspective folks... Perspective...

Hey... Breaking news... Santa seen the latest Charts for Xmas... Santa fined for climbing 'cone-top' Wellington statue in Glasgow A man dressed in a Santa suit has been fined for climbing up Glasgow's cone-topped Wellington statue. Police said the 51-year-old had been given a fixed-penalty ticket following the stunt at the iconic statue in Royal Exchange Square. He scaled the statue and waved to passers-by, until fire crews arrivedwith a ladder and took him down. The Santa was last seen entering a police van as the gathered crowd shouted: "Free Santa". A police spokeswoman was keen to stress the man who was fined was not the real Santa. However, the man was not named by police..... Seemed he decided to tell passers by of the `Cold Spell`,,,, lol

Guys & Gals..... Many thanks for the responses....I appreciate them and how everyones viewpoint and take ont he outputs are interpretated individually... i am forever learning!!!! keep up the fantatstic effort all.... it really makes this forum the best place to be for the likes of myself and other `wannabes` lol..

Morning All... Dont post much as I am not as experienced as the vast majortiy in here. Have been reading and `lurking` on this forum for a few years now. Hats off to you all knowlegeable posters however with this mornings output in particular there are conflicting issues with regards to the placement of the Azores high and its ramifactions for us in the UK... for eaxmple.. then the next post from NS Contradicting posts. As an avid follower and appreciate everyones valued input, I do find however that these kind of statements are very confusing for the more `inexperienced` and newbies like myself who are constantly trying to learn and interpret charts etc.... Very confusing......

Hi All Been around for a few years lurking shall we say..... I have to say that this forum is excellent with the members susch as Steve M, Nick S, Chronio TEITS etc.. giving their individual time to put out their ideas and general understanding of the models and possible outcomes of same. Apologies if i have missed anyone out there a few i know... Anyway i have always been led to believe that the around 3rd week in January historically is when we are susceptible to a `snowy` spell. With the current outlook across the models, for us to a lasting spell of the `snowy stuff` is always at least a few days away at best and never getting closer.. I hav ealso noticed that theconstant displacement of the PV is causing mayhem of the models... DO you think that this id down to the fact the fact the the sea ice around the pole this year had an effect and also affecting the `models` output today... Anyway enough of my rambling .. I hope it makes sense what I have just posted..... best Regards Martin

Katla - Iceland. `Ford Cochran says that the 500 or so tremors in and around the caldera of Katla just in the last month suggest "an eruption may be imminent` Hi, folks.. if this were to come off they reckon that it would be a biggy`... if so would the ash plume, smoke etc have any effect on the PV or stratospheric conditions... and a as consequence alter the GFS, ECM and UKMO outputs... Just a thought and would welcome some views please on this. If this is the wrong thread then apologies from me..
