Bloody hell, forget the snow thats some serious windchill.

Hope you don’t need seven. that means we still need four which probably means scoring goals, something we don’t seem to know how to do these days. anyway all eyes on your visit to the Turf next time out, weather permitting of course.

Love him or hate him he is a good manager and usually gets the best out of the teams he manages, yourselves and our neighbours down the M65 being good examples. I bet there aren’t many fans of clubs who can honestly say that getting shut of Sam was a positive move.

No chance of us going down. We’ll still be playing at the top table next season but I think it will be a long hard one for us.

No but it doesn’t stop it being crap.

Yep, nowt more to say than that other than the ref could stop a pig in a ginnel.

Not beer for me but thinking of opening a bottle of red myself. you never know, enough alcohol and the crap I endured at today’s football might start to look better.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I meant to say myself but it came out all wrong.

Calm down folks it’s not mad thread, sorry second SE regional thread. our expectations are always lower here and if this latest severe winter spell turns into a letdown we just put it in the trophy cabinet at the side of all the others we have accumulated this winter and pick ourselves up again ready for the next garden path we can be led down.

Might have a quick peek but no doubt after the twelfth person has told me that the heaviest snow in the northern hemisphere will be outside the kebab shop at the bottom of their road i’ll call it quits again. It’s much more civilised in here.

Rubbed in rather than drunk I assume.

Sounds nasty, can you get treatment for that.

Watch out for low flying toys Moki.

Telling us what you posted my give us a better idea on why it was deleted but if you dared to suggest that Fridays system would be better further north then you deserved everything you got. Had a quick look through the last few pages of posts in there when I got home from footie and unless the current thoughts of a Friday breakdown change it will be carnage shortly.

All this talk of breakdowns and milder weather coming sooner than expected. Each to their own I suppose but i’ll gladly take a week of bitter cold and snow before winter sods off for another year and we get something warmer. that said though the Met outlook is anything but mild with upgrades in snow potential over the coming weeks.

Good to see the region now covered by warnings on Tuesday and Wednesday and unlike those earlier in the season, I think that these will end up being justified. i’m not expecting huge amounts but given the wind strength and bitterly cold uppers and dry air, what falls will readily blow into drifts and conditions approaching blizzard like will probably occur. IMBY I wouldn’t be surprised to see something approaching late March 2013 which probably gave the largest drifts here since 1979 and even if the snow fails to materialise the winds and perishing cold will no doubt be one to remember. meanwhile it’s all going off in the mod thread with summary executions taking place of anyone brave enough to mention next weekends low tracking further north and introducing rain and milder conditions down south.

Agreed mate, I usually do we’ll out of an easterly and am expecting this occasion to deliver. how much though we’ll see but forecasts seem to be upgrading chances in our region.

Dodge with that last sentence are you Di Oxberry in disguise. i know what you mean though, by mid January 2010 I was sick of shovelling snow and driving on icy roads packed with double parked cars.

Quite a bit from Atlantic fronts stalling against the block as well but i’m pretty sure that some serious amounts came from the east. oh for a repeat of the winter of 1979 although as it lasted for 10 weeks up here I wouldn’t fancy sitting down tonight knowing I had the full event in front of me.........the highlights will do.

Never understood fingerless gloves myself but you’ll be needing Eskimo standard issue ones this time next week.

Party at yours then Sf and save on my heating bills. seriously though, a strong easterly can cause havoc here even without it being a bitter cold one. It somehow often gets very gusty as it crosses the ridge on the county boundary and i’ve had fence panels blown out by easterlies in summer months when lower down the valley it’s been pretty calm. looking forward in principle to what may be a once in a generation spell of weather but the reality when it arrives may prove to be serious and even if the snow isn’t heavy the feel will certainly be damned cold and probably even a shock to my system.

Models still looking good for next week and at last the BBC forecasts are starting to talk about it. in the meantime it’s just going to be bloody cold.

Maybe we know something that they don’t.

Oh right, anyway keep one free for when i’m snowed in up to the bedroom windows.

Thought you’d sold it all off.
