Avalanche starter

I won't go skiing in bristol next weekend then.

Hello again. I do realise why you are quoting these figures, and they are interesting, but most of our very cold and prolonged weather has nearly always come from the E, not the NW. I can't quite remember 62/63, I wasn't quite old enough - in fact I wasn't born then, but my Father endlessly retells stories - which are interesting. I looked up the daily temps of different locations, and Tyne and Wear, which is where he comes from, did not appear to be as cold as some southerly regions.

Good evening. Whilst I've been viewing this site anonomously for the past 12 months or so, I've not posted anything until now. I don't have as much to say as a lot of you seem to, but I am a cold/snow lover just like the vast majority of you on this site. I enjoy very much reading the stories about other people's snow, etc, but am also rather jealous of you Northerners. I live in Stansted, and the best snow I've seen here for a long time was the M11 snow 2 winters ago. The reason why I'm making my first post on this thread, is because I'm interested to hear, from Rollo and WBSH (I'm not picking on you chaps for any reason other than you seem to be the main reporters from Greenland), why they think that the temperature on a mountain in Greenland in October/November is to have a bigger influence on our prospects of a cold winter than the temps in Siberia/N Russia/N Scan. Would it be a good idea to have a thread with temps reported from those areas. Thank you for your help. Simon
