    What happened to the aviation situation in the USA after Mt. Saint Helens erupted? Perhaps the current situation here in Europe is exaggerated?

    Isn't it all do with how high the ash is? The current ash levels are at about 20,000ft which means that planes would need to fly through it to reach cruising altitudes of approx 35,000ft or to come into land.

    Not sure how high the ash got with Mt Saint Helens but maybe it was higher and the planes could fly under the ash? Only guessing! :whistling:

    South West England Cold Spell Discussion

    Hmmm. Well, irrespective of any snow risk fanaticism, the Sunday rapid cyclogenesis / Shapiro-Keyser event would be already enough, you would think, to keep any forum happy - it could be very nasty for NW Europe. Impact on Madeira, NW Iberia, NW France (let alone whatever it does here) could be very newsworthy. I've updated the blog on this - pls note UKMO lack of advisories is for a good reason at present (i.e., for Sunday - not this evening, which is gonna become decidely wet down south!).

    Thanks again for your input Ian. always good to hear from experts. :good: This might not be the right place but what does "cyclogenesis / Shapiro-Keyser event" mean?

    Also, reading your blog, I see why the UKMO has not felt drawn into advisories for the Sunday. Fingers crossed for Madeira again. :shok:

    South West England Cold Spell Discussion

    Just had a quick peep in the Model forum, Won't for a minute and say I understand everything that is written in there (way over my head for my limited weather knowledge), but there does seem to be alot of discussion around potentially cold weather for next week (E/NE) with possible snow for South of England....

    Just wondering if anyone with more knowledge than myself has any other views on this,

    I totally understand in weather terms this is well into the future etc and so much can change drinks.gif

    Ditto theprophecyman - I read it and pretend I understand :shok:

    Seems as though they are thinking (IMO) that we may get an easterly wind after the rain/wind on Sunday and then another low pressure moves up and bumps into the cold easterly giving snow for the south. Blizzards were mentioned as well :p:shok:

    Guess it could all change though :p
