    Well this is lasting longer than I expected! Still coming down heavily with big flakes, everywhere is white now These have to be some of the biggest flakes I have ever seen, absolutely huge! Getting quite a decent covering for a rogue shower, more of the same tomorrow please!

    Wow, really quite heavy snow here now! Only a rogue shower, but it is still leaving a dusting
  3. Nick L
    Light snow here at the moment.
  4. Nick L
    Fell down to -4c here earlier, risen up a bit now as some cloud has rolled in I think.

    Very impressive, although one thing I have noticed is that the radar echoes seem quite blurred (especially when zoomed in), is it meant to be like that? Certainly isn't as blurred on the old version.

    If my driving test next Friday gets cancelled for the 4th time, then I may not be responsible for my actions... Will be great to have a Cheshire Gap streamer though, haven't had a decent one for this part of the world all winter - wind direction looks spot on with a NNW'ly.

    I've wondered that, what is wrong with using the complete average?

    I am indeed Pete I just like the shorter daylight hours as it means that any snow that falls will take longer to melt, as you get into the second half of Feb the sun is stronger and is out for longer. I like the dark evenings, don't know why! As many already know I despise summer...

    Spring is the beginning of summer for me, my most hated season of the year. Although I do like the showers and quite substantial diurnal ranges. Already noticed the days getting longer

    It's the Met Office that use the 1961-90 mean though isn't it? It is quite bizarre. Next year will be the arrival of the 1981-2010 average, it's ridiculous.

    Melodramatic or what? It could get far worse, and posts like this are not going to help newer members understand the charts at all. Go and have a look at the archives for real bad winter charts, just remind yourself of the mild rubbish we had to face in 06/07 and 07/08. We would have been wetting ourselves with excitement with a GFS run like this back then.
  12. Nick L
    I think it would have broken back in the January freeze! Good idea.
  13. Nick L
    The idea that some were suggesting that we could never get a classic winter spell was nonsense, and has been proved this winter. There is no doubt we have had an unusually warm run of winters, but then again we are in a warming world - it is not down to the so called "modern e*a" IMO.
  14. Nick L
    But we will get some wall-to-wall sunshine and frosts, better than the usual slate-grey skies we get in easterlies.
  15. Nick L
    Was surprised to have some light snow grains this afternoon while walking home, feels raw out there as well.
  16. Nick L
    Once again, not a very exciting forecast. For Thursday and Friday at least it is cool-average at best with wintry showers along the east coast.
  17. Nick L
    Just to quickly clear this up, no it isn't a re-run, at least it hasn't been for the past several weeks when I have watched both.
  18. Nick L
    Exactly my thoughts. I love those conditions in April, one minute it is high single figures with strong, warm sunshine - the next the temperature has dropped several degrees with wintry showers!
  19. Nick L
    They update it with a new forecaster
  20. Nick L
    Yes that's the best thing about northerlies over easterlies. If you don't get the snow in northerlies you get wall-to-wall sunshine 9 times out of 10. Easterlies however you are far more likely to get the depressing slate grey skies. Hope tonight's Countryfile forecast is a vast improvement, because let's face it - it can't be any worse!
  21. Nick L
    It has to be one of the worst week ahead forecasts we have seen for some time. I just don't see how they can put max temps of 6-7c with snow showers down the east coast. Seemed like a bodged forecast that had been put together quickly as the models had changed. This would never have happened with the no-nonsense symbols - would have been able to change them pretty quickly. Probably wasn't Laura's fault, but the forecast was of very poor quality, especially as recent Countryfile forecasts have been excellent.
  22. Nick L
    Basic summary of that forecast is fairly mild for most of the week, perhaps dropping to slightly below average by Friday with wintry showers scraping the east coast.

    One of my friends had a bet with a Geography teacher at our school, he reckoned it would snow but the teacher said it wouldn't - my friend now owes him a Mars Bar Met Office got it spot on today.
  24. Nick L
    It has stalled and is dying out. Far too marginal here as well. Apart from the likes of the high ground of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire this is never going to amount to much - Met Office called it spot on IMO.
  25. Nick L
    I'm not being overemotional at all, it is obvious that the band is not going to get north or east of Birmingham as per my post at 8am. It is also continuing to die out. Hopecasting won't get you anywhere.
