About the same length of time as me, then………..

Wait til tonight when it's 48 hours out. Start getting excited then. If it still shows in the morning then we are onto full on ramp mode. I'm highly interested but not quite taken in yet!!
I am in awe of your self-restraint!

Gfs has just made next week a tad more interesting! Just a little ramp from me
we’re entering the fun zone as they say on The Chase lol
I said that I wouldn’t get suckered in by it ever again, BUTit is looking good this morning. My nerves are starting to get frazzled again. Hope springs eternal and all that…….
PS I love The Chase!

I stand by my assertion that despite all the money, the computing power and the expertise of human forecasting, the models are no better than tea leaves. Rarely are they right. ‘Just for fun’ they should be labelled with
I agree. I feel silly for having fallen for it yet again.

I don't share much of the despondency in here this morning. The up and coming week offers very cold temperatures, plenty of snow for Scotland and the far north, a band of snow coming from the north west affecting Northern Ireland, north Wales, the north west and possibly getting as far as the midlands then a midweek band of snow that could affect southern England and possibly south Wales.
If all this comes off I would say it would be a decent end to a pretty decent cold spell
But we were to have ice days and blizzards, even in our neck of the woods. The Met Office outlooks were full of wintry delights. All we have now is a few measly frosts. As far as I am concerned, this is the biggest and dampest meteorological squib that I have seen in nearly 20 years on this forum.
The only positive that I can take from this monstrous episode is a lesson about not believing anything until it happens!

This is how I feel with every cold spell and yet I go back for more . This time I'm still managing to keep an emotional distance though. I don't believe it so won't be a wreck when this week passes with nothing
Yes, I will always keep coming back for more too, despite my earlier tantrum!

I hear you. I haven't seen that it's all gone wrong to be honest so I'll wait and see.
At least with summer storms you get the possiblity no more than 10 days out, so less of a build up to a possible let down.
Everyones happier because of the sun and usually (not always) catching one is a car ride away for the more keen chasers.
With snow the signals and excitement for some starts late autumn. Way to long to be invested in something we have no control over. Just feels bleak at the moment.
“’Bleak” is the word! Not quite the sort of “bleak midwinter” that I was hoping for! I am in a really moany mood……. Perhaps I should set up camp in this thread.

Pretty sure there was a BFTE modelled by the big three and disappeared with about 48 hours to go a few years ago.
Was there? Maybe my memory is going (!) but I cannot recall having felt as disappointed in a weather outcome as I do now! Perhaps I shouldn’t let it get to me! I have dealt with far worse things than disappointing weather, but I was looking forward to a nice lot of snow….

I have been on here for nearly 20 years, although I don’t post much. This has to be the biggest let-down I have ever seen. Nor have I been able to get any sense from the MAD thread - the same runs have some people saying that there will be lots of snow and some people saying it will be dry. I have decided that I will refer to the Met office forecasts if I want any sense. I am really peed off with how I have allowed myself to be put through all this. NEVER AGAIN!

Meanwhile, the here & now, it’s absolutely Baltic out there now, definitely the coldest it’s been all winter (personally).
And I have a blizzard flurry.
Lovely! There is hope for here then just a few miles away!

The met office update for 13th to 22nd January is not very thrilling. I know they have to be cautious about things, but I would have expected something a bit more cold and snowy. I wish that I hadn’t looked at it!
-
Sadly, nothing here, but met office shows a 40% chance of something at 6o’clock. Fingers crossedfor us all.

Just rain here. Am looking very hard to see if there are any flakes within the rain, but there aren’t!

Had 26.4mm since the rain started yesterday.
Currently laying underlay/carpet. The windows are wide open as I'm roasting! 11.1°C.
I have just changed all the bedding and am also roasting! I too have opened the window for a cool down! Still, it brings in some nice fresh air as well, which is good.

Went to Chipping Sodbury this morning and decided to come home via Old Sodbury and along the A46. It is still beautifully snowy up there, the fields are still white, but then it is so much higher up. There was also quite a foggy area between, say, Tormarton and James Dyson’s place. Nice to get out and see it all!
