Pretty grim out there in the American  Mid-West, I'm following events with this live link : http://www.theindychannel.com/live-video

Hi BB, that's a sobering link for sure.

[Biensie]

Hi Biensie, Tamara has been on the model and the strat thread recently - a consistent voice of sanity and reason and always the chance of a really proper recipe!

Thanks abruzzi spur, i do keep popping in Model Thread  but have a job to understand what they are going on about.  However, don't recall her on there either.  I miss her posts here as she obviously knows what she is talking about and can write it so I understand.

[chrisyp]

Evening all,

 

Here are the names of the members who took part in last Winters Snow Depth Cup and a few who want to be included this year. Might be better to let me know if you DONT want to take part in this Winters competition, by pm or post, hopefully most members will want to this Winter.

 

 

 

Is there any point for those of us in the triangle?

Hi B, you can always find a member's posts by going to their profile and clicking on 'content'. It's true that quite a lot of the model stuff is incomprehensible but I doubt that is your fault!AS

[greenhithe]

looking at the forecast it looks like thursday morning could be interesting, but i dont think it will settle as the ground is too warm still

[greenhithe]

here is a question, during the 70's and 80's we used have terrible thunderstorms here i mean some of them use to last for hours but recently we have not had a bad thunderstorm is there any reason why ?

[stun12]

JP, thanks for the Saturday forecast for the bonfire night..just about spot on with a light northerly. Real yeuchh day today with light drizzle and murk for all of it. Did my best yesterday and managed to slice, chop and carry a couple of tons of wood up to the house. Still trying to avoid putting the heating on...so far, so good. Jupiter's leg no better after a walk, so to the vet's for an X-ray.

 

Tom, I'd like to join this year. Staplecross is the location, though it's a small village. Nearer larger places are Robertsbridge, Battle, Hawkhurst

[JennyJane1]

Does anyone know, is it warm in the eye of a tornado, or cold?

[Freezeflake]

Well one things for sure the eye of a tornado is full of debris and is extremely low pressure.

Want to know numbers first and will then decide on the format to use. It will probably be a number of "mini leagues" initially and then a knockout phase, later in the Winter.

 

Those of you in the list, could you please check that I have your details correct. Those of you who arent in the list, could you please let me know if you want to enter and I'll gladly include you.

 

Chris Mantle is kindly helping me by sorting out a spreadsheet for me, saves pen and paper, shame he doesnt know yet, only joking! Thanks again Chris! 

 

Those with asterisks against their name, could you please give me a more specific location.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll have a go this year please.

[JennyJane1]

Well one things for sure the eye of a tornado is full of debris and is extremely low pressure.

yes it must be a very frightening thing to see a huge one bearing down on your village.

[Team Jo]

I've experienced a couple of tornados, albeit from a safe distance (chasing with the Netweather team no less!!) one was inflow dominant and felt like a warm oven door breeze, and the other was outflow dominant and pretty nippy!

Paul Sherman is the man to ask!

[Met4Cast]

ITV weather just now forecasting "sleet and snow" for us on for Wednesday/Thursday, though mentioned risk will be mostly across higher ground

[Mark Neal.]

Aren't they running with forecasts supplied by Met Office? I still think some of us especially over higher ground could see a wintry mix to begin with or on the back-edge of Wednesdays system.

[john pike]

fax have not updated yet

 

would have thought wed evening would be favourite when the wind direction

 

switches around

 

will update thurs and friday when out but to get the forecast close for wed night thurs am

 

will not be able to do it until at least tomorrow night

[Captain Shortwave]

That list has now been updated, thanks.

 

Tom.

Yeah I guess I will join in the fun.... ummm best put me down for Saffron Walden as that the most likely location I will be over the winter months

[john pike]

 

at 96

 

strong east north easterly wind

 

showers circulating around the low

 

the charts that are inbetween needed here to be more specific

 

also depends exactly where that low ends up so holding this until tomorrow night now

And me please Wallington

[Snowangel-MK]

I'm finding it difficult to get excited about the possibility of a bit of sleet later this week especially with what's going on in other places - my thoughts are with those people who haven't got a bed to sleep in tonight !

[tadpole]

I'd like to join the snow cup Tom, representing Sydenham.

If I see 1 snow flake this week then I'm sorry but this will just have to go up !

[john pike]

ecm london ensembles

 

temps

 

the main ecm run is not a cold outlier

 

in fact there are a few colder options

 

up to the 23rd the main run is actually one of the warmest runs

 

these are cold

 

 

20th looks breezy as does the 27th

 

barring that not much

 

rain 19th

 

to the 21st

 

then the 25th which is a big outlier

 

 

so all in all these look good for cold
