Oh for heaven sake, we have brains. Wake up when it's light. GMT is a simple concept. Just stop messing with mother nature.

I'm told the stones brought in to protect Borth have been shoveled back ready for the coming wind and rain. Not much talk of it yet...

Oh so true. +100000000000

Oh dear, it must be Saturday...

What sort of issues do you fear? Marden, Sutton & Bodenham are becoming difficult to access as it is...

....I once proposed to a Ruth. Nice girl. She was 8, I was 6... Ok, off topic, ..sorry....

Something is just coming in to Eire (sw) . Is this the start...

If you're talking about 70' swell goodnight and goodbye. Realistically, by the time it reaches the shore it will only be 70' breakers, but that'll be bad enough.

I can remember many Novembers with snow. Just right for the festive season. Also remember mild Christmas days following. But not in the last 4/5 years

Non-existent here at Dinmore. Rain during the night but hard to imagine any more this time round.

Merry Christmas. XXX to all XXX

Now I'm a positive sort of bloke and I do like my Snow with a capital S. But I'm kinda worried we're missing something here. Aside from the fact we're drifting off-topic and becoming fixated on cold and snow, if you like weather which we can discuss, how about how deep our floods are, or how deep our 4x4 can manage coupled with are we losing our shed roofs. I'm actually quite diverted by where storms are dropping heavy precipitation. and it's effect on the areas round here. I just enjoy weather, full-stop. Discuss....

I'm hoping you're not serious ....... Ramping ArUS

I have just read this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/9000650/Spring-arrives-early-in-Britain-following-mild-winter-weather.html It particularly struck me that after -15°c last December it went off with little follow up right through. As someone pointed out Feb hasn't brought much cold since 1947 and 1963. And I do have lots of bird song and early buds and even blossoms on the way. I'm not keen on late start winters. Long cold snowy yes, but starting in late Jan... I'd rather not.

Well, we've had maybe 3/4" of wet snow and A49 at Dinmore has stopped. Slow moving downhill towards Hfd. Stopped snowing 1/4 hour ago and mayhem. It's a Ministery Trunk road and a Strategic Route to boot. Hey ho....
