[stun12]

jp, Saturday evening. It's always a shame as they put on a great display, only for it to be obscured by smoke. Not really a hollow, as such, but in the lea of a big hill to the north

[john pike]

hi stun

 

sat night

 

you should see a slight westerly breeze

 

if i show ecm

 

 

breezy but not strong

 

should be a good one

 

mist may be a slight problem but hopefully the wind direction should favour you and keep it away

 

will look again tomorrow for you

[stun12]

Thanks John. I really appreciate the charts etc. Haven't bothered with a TV forecast for ages...and then only do it to show the missus what you (and others) have already shown. By which time it's usually too late (thought the high winds were at least also predicted by the MetO in good time)

 

Log chopping it is though, by the looks of next week.

[john pike]

yep the bad news

 

central heating

 

pahhhhhhhhhh

[john pike]

 

drop from the 19th on

 

back to average on the 24th

 

although fi is 22nd as big spread

 

model watching is getting interesting now

 

until tomorrow evening

 

goodnight all

[Bluebreezer54]

Good morning all. A sneaky unexpected rain shower is just passing through the London area at the moment, with another little band heading this way. Not amounting to much at all but I just thought I would mention it.

 

Iv'e noticed a few 'old timers' have rejoined this thread as we head towards winter, but I can't help wondering where one or two of of our regular posters throughout the year have gone just recently. I do hope the likes of Tom and Tamara are ok.

 

 

Christmas is apparently drawing ever nearer. It's time I went into hibernation.

[john pike]

hi blue

 

stick with it mate

 

i know it gets mad here soon but does not stop us chatting as normal

 

regards

 

john

Hi JP.

 

Appreciate your informative posts as always but for some of us christmas is not the fun filled festival of joy it's portrayed to be. Hence my desire to hibernate any time soon. If thats under a blanket of snow I'm fine with that.

[john pike]

hi blue

 

fair enough mate

 

just flick in every now and then to say hi

 

be nice to hear from you

 

best regards mate

Morning all. It's cold again 

Off to Kings Cross today for fun times at BUPA, luckily the only thing being checked up are my credentials as a potential employee of their establishment.

[Charltonkerry]

Good luck with you interview Matt, you certainly seem to have had a few recently.

Morning all, on this bright morning, look like a very slight frost this morning, got an an exciting day today, off to doctors to get my prescriptions renewed, then got to to have 2 new tyres fitted, whose say I don't lead the high life :-) then to the office to start a new design of a fridge plant, that will keep my busy until around February next year, be nice to get the old grey cells working, just worked it out that my last design was over 2 years ago, oh the fun of running your own company, funny how you get all the grotty jobs like washing the cups ups and everyone else does all the glory work. Think I might have got it wrong somehow.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Morning peeps,

 

So checked my bank account this morning and there was £100 more in there that I have no idea where it has come from.. There is no record on my statement either...

 

Would advise staying out of the model thread today... it's going to get nasty....

[Coast]

Morning all.

 

A chilly start as the overnight rain clears, but the ice scraper is temporarily back in the boot for now. I think it might be needed in a few days time though as temps are looking much more like the norm for November next week:

 

 

Interesting thoughts from GFS this morning on the white stuff making an appearance and not where you'd normally first think of it coming in from - the West?

 

 

 

 

If this appears on the next few runs I might allow myself a little ramp or two, but only in moderation you understand?!!! :lol:

What I would expect from a northwesterly, looks like there's a little patch over me though, but not cold enough.

[Guest bjaykent]

Morning all, think the model thread might well be a bit of a rollercoaster ride today, with some a little disappointed with ECM run this morning bringing a little more energy over the top pushing the potential high pressure block over the UK, all still in FI and if it verified would still be cold. whereas as Robin has shown GFS is a little more bullish about some more unsettled weather with possible wintry stuff coming in from the west next week.

 

Certainly it will get colder next week and if it turns out drier as well that would be good, frosty nights and sunny days would be fine, still the whole of winter to come for some snow. Looking at the reports of potential flooding this morning on the Beeb, drier might be the better scenario for now.

All this Christmas ramping is starting to make me think my snow at Christmas bet might payout.I put it on after JP posted one of his forecast's showing a white Christmas a few months ago

The only thing good about sitting at work on my own on the 9th floor in Docklands for 12 hours on Christmas Day would be watching snow flakes falling,at least I would have got some of the money back that I have lost on White Christmas bets for the past few years since I started listening to JP and Rampkin to name a few...... Only joking

Knowing my luck it would blizzard late afternoon and snow me in!!! as it is I have to work Boxing Day so I could end up staying overnight with only a tin of Hero's for my Christmas dinner

Roll on Christmas....the sooner its over the better.... only saying it due to working it again...  No seriously hope everyone gets what they want for Christmas and I think I am safe in saying that the majority on here want some cold white stuff,which is just as well as the other half is getting a fridge freezer Another ramp please John

 

Morning all,

 

Anybody contemplating a bet on a White Xmas for various cities in the UK, here are the current odds. Nothing especially strikes me as interesting at the moment, only the fact that London looks poor value against some other locations.

 

Why the market is entitled "White Xmas in Europe" beats me, as only UK cities are quoted.

Hi BB,

 

I'm fine thank you, have been popping in now and again but not posted much, trying to be less manic in my old age! 

 

Problems with the house have finally been sorted and we're finally bedding in nicely at Chez Chislehurst. During the Summer heat noticed how cool the house remained throughout, think we're going to pay for it from now on re.heating the place though, the rooms are pretty large and and being the last house in a row with an outside wall facing NE, we're going to be looking at some hefty bills. Anyway hoping to see plenty of cloud movement from just east of the above direction and plenty of the white stuff to boot, in the coming months!

 

Regards,

Tom.

Morning all,

 

Fresh and bright here this morning but quite 'breezy' 

 

It's  nice to see some lovely ramp charts being posted, I'm trying not to get too excited about snow (and Chringlemas) just yet but I can't help wondering if this would be to much to ask for....

Mornin each. Hope everybody is well. It's bright but chilly here in Ippy. Sunday night was a bit crispy as well with a frost.

Re, Dr Who. I remember seeing the Daleks for the first time. I was seven and I thought the Daleks were amazing. I never did hide behind the sofa,

Have a great day, folks.

Morning Grace.

 

Nice to see the majority of our region will be bathed in sunshine from cloud-free skies this morning:

Déjà vu yet again! Here we go with the next Daily Express ridiculous scaremongering nothing to back it up headline!! I still cannot believe the editor in charge believes and pays this idiot for this stupid information. The public don't blast this idiot or the paper when nothing happens but when the met office gets it wrong the crap hits fan! Annoyed!!
