The storm surge is predicted be 9ft on these streets. These houses (of which there are hundreds) are gone if the forecast is correct.

Actually looking at the figures the loss of wild bison is matched by the number of cows on the lower end so any extra co2 would be due to the way they are reared. A change of farming could cancel that out.
Bison apparently emit less CO2 than cattle. https://buffalobillfoldcompany.com/american-bison-cattle-emissions/

Yes I'm in the bullseye.. synoptics reminscent indeed carbon copy of Dec 5 2015 and Nov 19 2009, both times brought exceptional flooding. Oh joy!
The similarities to both those times are rather worrying.

Still no rain for the north. Here in Cumbria is extremely dry, young trees are beginning to show signs of die-back and the rivers/lakes very low.

Thunder storm on Skiddaw now.

This isn't as difficult as it may sound if those glaciers that form part of a ski resort are tackled first as the snow making infrastructure already exists and would just need extending. It would also make it more financially justifiable as the resorts would benefit from an enlarged summer ski area.

It's getting a lot gustier here now.

Tignes is a fantastic all round resort with a huge variety of skiing - with some amazing off piste areas if that's what your looking for. I also agree with Malcolm that Le Lac, although not pretty, is the best place to stay if you want access to the whole area including Val d'Isere. La Folie Douce is completely mental and always worth a visit especially after 3pm when it really starts bouncing. (I have also paid a visit to the equally insane Alpe d'Huez and Val Thorens branches of the chain). However, if you're staying in Le Lac don't be late back to the Tommeuses chair as it closes at 4.45 I think. The black run back home in the twilight with a few beverages on board is generally quite 'eventful.' Tignes is an open bowl area so visibility can be compromised in poor weather although there are some lovely tree lined runs down towards La Brevieres and on the lower slopes in Val at La Daile, Fornet and Solaise. Highly recommended - and the central private accommodation agency is super efficient via their website if you want to go independenly.
I agree Tignes is a great location and with the new Solaise bubble out of Val makes the whole area very accessible, and if you like itineraries then Tignes is the place. I've been a few times and will be back again next week.

Thanks both, I shall put some time aside to digest all that info.

Slightly off topic but does anyone know of a good source of data that lists all the known Nino years. I'm looking at the correlation of Cumbrian floods to an El Niño. Certainly the past 7 out 8 have been in El Niño years.
-
Its not looking good for us up here in Cumbria this weekend. That rainfall keeps on showing and seems to be gaining in intensity. If the 12z are correct the recent floods of 5th and those of 2009 will be minor shows in comparison.

I'm getting errors on the charts page too. The drop downs don't work and when I click on community it links to a cloud services site???

Seems to be down again. My Site says it cant be shown in a frame but that's how its always been.

BBC site says:Currently about 11,500 hectares (28,420 acres) of the Somerset Levels are inundated by about 65 million cubic metres of water.28,000 acres is an awful lot of land to 'abandon' considering even low grade land is worth at least £1000/acre and anything half decent 2 or 3 times as much.
Average farm land value for the area is £7500!

Snow on the lakes fells today down to about 200mDepends how high up you live. Although I see boywonder lives in Wrexham, so snow would be rare there this early! Was in the Highlands over half term, was nice to see the tops of the Cairngorms dusted white. Coming back on the train through the Lake District I didn't see any evidence of any snow on the tops there (although many of them were hidden by the large thunderstorm rolling through there that afternoon!). How are the Welsh mountains doing so far? Anyone know? When I lived in Bangor, Snowdonia could have snow on the tops by late October.

If this isn't in the right place feel free to move it.
I'm looking for average wind data that I can use alongside the CET figures - is there such a thing?

Its an intellectual competition not one that is to be seriously considered!The guy's an idiot, and so are the people that judged the competition. Edit: No doubt someone will ask why, so here goes. 1) It's far too large to sanely construct in the Arctic. It's ~150 metres tall, even leaving aside the umbrella cover. That's close to the size of the Gherkin - and you want it to float? Some oil rigs get close to that size, but they have an open superstructure to stop themselves being capsized by the wind. This proposal has a closed umbrella cover - there's no way you could make it stable. 2) It's far too small to make any impact whatsoever. The Arctic ocean is 14 million km^2, each of these structures will shade around 0.16 km^2. The numbers needed to make a difference are astronomically high. To put it in other terms, London is around 0.1% the area of the Arctic ocean - this means that to shade 0.1% of the Arctic ocean, you need to build another London at the North Pole. 3) It won't work even in principle, and will in fact make things worse. Apparently the umbrella is supposed to shade the ice and absorb the "ultraviolent" energy. So, where does that energy <i>go</i> after being absorbed? Use it to power your research base? Sure, and that means it ends up as heat. <i>Whatever</i> you do with that energy, ultimately it will end up as heat, unless you've found a magic way around the second law of thermodynamics. The only way to have an actual effect would be to reflect the energy, not absorb it - and do so more effectively than the bare snow and ice. Snow has a really high albedo - pretty much any structure you put on it will only mean you absorb more energy, not less.

Has this graphic been posted? It certainly shows the decline of ice very well.

Sounds something like I had a while ago. It may be the super capacitor that charges the battery (somehow) that has burst - you get new ones for about £10-20.
Have a look at the circuit board and see if you can see anything that may have burst or leaked - if you can thats it.
