Here you go Nick --> https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101209182435/http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/library/factsheets/factsheet03.pdf

Is this what you're after? I've downloaded a copy, if you have any issues accessing it.

Nice one, thanks!

No worries. There are others in the series, listed at the end of that doc. Just change the number in the URL, i.e. 02.pdf for the Thunderstorm definition doc, etc.

Denver has a crazy climate even by American standards. Snow has fallen in every month except July and August

It's been a chilly year so far out there. 11c and drizzle in Oklahoma and San Antonia at 'only' 18c were highlights on tour 1!

Not Long Now!

Counting down the shifts...8 more to go then nearly 5 weeks off work!

For me to be a hypocrite, I would have to be at a protest telling people to stop flying. Think before you type, good grief. I am criticising her for joining the preachers telling us to stop flying, but flying first class to get there. I am not criticising anyone for flying, but for flying and then telling us all to stop flying. 

And you never go abroad anywhere, right? 

Flying first class makes no difference to the carbon footprint tbf. But I think rather than preaching, the best course of action is to promote the idea of doing the best you can rather than being militant about it.

made this point on the climate thread    just another virtue signalling person  who is more interest in how they look then what happens to the planet.  At least the penny is starting to drop with people. 

Yes, I have the joy of Friday, Saturday, Sunday night shifts aswell. I knew as soon as I was rota'd on for them it'd be glorious weather.

I'm on nights Sunday and Monday. However, I do have a window of opportunity. I finish at 6pm on Saturday, and then onto nights on Sunday, I may be able to sneak some beer garden in.

Hi Nick - have you seen my P.M?

Why on Earth did they change it? The new site is abysmal compared to the old.

Just like every other website "upgrade" really. Why so many companies feel the need to change a perfectly functioning website to one that is garbage I'll never know.

A few things have already been fixed on the new layout - some progress being made. I send my data to WU but only use it to view stations that are under some extreme weather. It's great having my own site for for more detailed stuff.

I guess you thought March would be a wintry month when you booked it.

Nah that would have been a bonus. Last year would have been too much as driving would be a nightmare. As long as it's not drizzly murky crap I'll be happy. 

1. That didn't take a lot to beat!

at the moment only looks good for the north, last few GFS runs, virtually snowless for rest of Jan (low level south) Feb, Mar though hopeful for something

be april and still nowt lol

don't care about what the computers think will happen next month, it changes.

Thinking of booking a trip to Namibia  so boring at the moment 

well the october fog index suggested a winter of inane drivel, so i'm not surprised

didn't get any here

Inland across NE England seen some bad conditions due to the freezing rain.

But was hit and miss for most

Yep, it was primarily high ground in N England and Scotland. There was absolutely nothing in Midlands or Wales. It's almost as if they're trying to justify the nonsense warnings they issued.

The universe takes and the universe gives.....it'll make up for it - just you wait

Last winter wasn't cold though!

Congratulations happy new year hope your wba give leeds a good run for their money 

I must have imagined Feb and March.

You too? It's the fact that (as only 7/10 SSWs result in UK Snowmageddon) 3/10 do not mean a whiteout, that confuses folks...?

Yep. Nobody is saying that x means y will happen, but they're very valuable pointers.

do they like helping taking down xmas decs? 

too early

Agreed. If it was a cold gloom it might be more exciting but it's not

Speaking from my part of the world neither produced anything interesting other than the dry warm summer which was welcome 

thankfully we don't have hurricanes and stuff like that

Agree Nick re Frosts, here in the south east it's been dreadful this late Autumn/Winter - 2 slight ground frosts this December and not 1 air frost!!! coldest minima here since November recorded 0.7c in the early hours but no white stuff on the lawn as temps had risen by morning. 

Aye, Dave, best station probably now

when will they shut down the BBC then?

Never heard of it ,must be a Loondon  thing 

Last time I did, it was on one of those 1950s' stinky diesels.

I will say this - when I brought my crumby little converted studio flat, I still had greedy management of the actual block. 80 quid  bill on my door mat before i had even gotten the keys for gardening, 5k bill because a builder had gone by and noticed where the windows needed more support, 600 for an entrance phone at the front door and before I sold another 1k because a brick wall was 'dangerous' not including a wall for where the bins were, and I was paying 40 quid maintenance on top and 10 pound that everyone on the town had to pay to the duke of cavendish. My poor dad footed the bill for some but I had to get a 5k loan.   

you can buy a shed in london for 200,000

I love sunny days at this time of year, with how low the sun is it feels almost Scandinavian if you can get a crisp and cold day.

It's crystal  clear here sun casting huge shadows 

We really do have one of the most rubbish climates. Probably won't get much sun for the rest of this week either!

but it's all going to go pear-shaped with Atlantic garbage

wasn't that cold here in the end.

and I feel the cold, believe me.

Max of 3.5c here today.
