  1. Oh for heaven sake, we have brains. Wake up when it's light. GMT is a simple concept. Just stop messing with mother nature.
  2. 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...
  3. What sort of issues do you fear? Marden, Sutton & Bodenham are becoming difficult to access as it is...
  4. ....I once proposed to a Ruth. Nice girl. She was 8, I was 6... Ok, off topic, ..sorry....
  5. Something is just coming in to Eire (sw) . Is this the start...
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. Non-existent here at Dinmore. Rain during the night but hard to imagine any more this time round.
  9. 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....
  10. 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.
  11. 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....
  12. Yes, I'm not sure about the new radar. I'm at about 60m asl and am watching seriously heavy snow... not blue rain. Big fat flakes mind you, and you know what they say...........no?......... "big snow, little snow. Little snow Big SNOW. So...?
  13. Half inch of wet snow on the lawn. Just too warm and wet SO FAR.
  14. Now I'm in the West Country. Midlanders having a moan about downgrade. Hee hee
  15. Best Holly berries for decades. All gone two days before last -12°c
  16. We might as well have joined. Lightest flurrie lunchtime and the rest of this cold is v. cold but most forecasts suggest no snow. Was looking ok till this afternoon...
  17. Ah 1962/3, now that was a year. Well so it was. Now I've had to put up with my dad conparing it to 1947 all my life ( I was not yet born...) the story of the double decker in a snow-drift and so on. Typical it was not (1963 I mean..) I was at home as a sickly child through most of it and was allowed a thermometer to plot the midday temperatures. Now I could ramble on for some time, but I won't. I'll bore me. But it was responsible for one thing. Summer football. In order to get all the fixtures in the season just went on. The FA Cup was in May for the first time (I think). Perhaps thats when unrest on the terraces first started. Before then you hadn't the energy to cause trouble; it was too cold! What I mean is the seasons were all out for sometime after that. Hey hoe.... (hic...)
  18. This really depresses me. :diablo: :diablo: 1. People are half asleep in the morning. Dark mornings make it worse. 2. This was tried in the 70's and found to be a disaster. How short do peoples memories have to be? 3. Accidents in the dark evenings are balenced out by safer mornings. 4. Its not just the Scot who prefer GMT. What about those west of Reading? On a pesonal note, what's wrong with keeping GMT all year, just get up ealier when it feels right? Anyone heard of flexible working or even working from home/car whatever. Discuss it with management if need be.
  19. Good point. I was looking back a few pages. Holly-berries still give me hope though...
  20. Well, I'm kind of surprised a severe winter is favourite. Apart from the run of hot summers earlier in the decade I can't see similar just because it was so cold last year. I will say however I have more holly-berries this year than ever before. Some of it will depend on how successful the sparrowhawk is at thinning out the finch population! Oh and I forgot. I have just ordered a new weather station so there will be no snow...
  21. Has there been a downgrade this morning?
