Marlow Park today (on the Thames) or should I say in the Thames, so sad.

Sorry no picture. Will try again

Katie, btw, that post of yours on the 'MAD' thread that a few of the boys on there didn't answer for you properly The white dot is simply a computerised representation of a centre of pressure within a low pressure cell. Don't worry - there was a time when I would have asked exactly the same thing!

I know Marolw well and it's a lovely park there - I've had many a walk along the Thames at that spot, hopefully whatever happens now it won't be more rain - will make a great ice rink if it freezes though :-)

Evening, time to calm down after another evenings worth of model watching. I had a pizza so I feel like my dinner was slightly underwhelming compared to some on here

Well, if it so happens that we have a winter without a snowflake at ground level, then i blooming hope we get endless mesoscale convective complexes and some awesome riders on the plume all summer long. This winter is beginning to get a bit tedious now. Do hope we get some sort of rope thrown at us for this potential cold snap. At the minute as it stands, this winter is ranking very low in all terms of nice winter weather. Something has to change for the end of the month surely !!

then, during the next weekend, between Saturday 18 and Sunday 19, both of which will be fueled by maritime polar air that, according to the latest modeling, could encourage the return of rain and even snow, as well as an overall decline in temperature.

best chinese ever is a place called Won Kei restaurant in Wardour Street. rough round the edges but best food ever! won ton noodles soup will fill you up, but then theres so much to choose from you'll have more. and chili oil is hottest ever  I dont do crispy balls Ali :lol:

Great restaurant.....friging love it.....when busy....they continually tell you to f#*k off upstairs....they have three/four floors....

Well I'm still hoping we get mesoscale convective complexes of the snow kind off the North Sea at some stage in the next month or so  Endless ones might be too much to ask for though

gusty south west wind

 

rain moving through pm and could be heavy

a wonkey restaurant? nice.

[lottiekent]

I'm no good at the model thing, however I do think that we might be in for a nice surprise. I think we'll see snow before February based on nothing other than what I've seen in my (undisclosed) years and a feeling

Edit: it's frosty and 0.9c

Frosty one out there tonight, washing on the line has gone like cardboard, haha.

Evening peeps

 

 

been watching BBC4

 

 

No frost here yet, but sure it is coming.

Thank you Tamara, thankfully I never saw the replies, just noticed it vanished. I have been reading the MAD thread and here since 2010 and have finally got some time on my hands to start learning. But it's really hard to know where to start and I have chosen the most confusing time to start, but I must say after reading the MAD thread for 4 winters and 1 complete summer, it's more predictable the on the MAD thread then the models and weather put together. In fact if it wasn't for the entertainment value of the MAD thread I would of got to grips with the models long ago.

Am I safe asking my stupid questions here lol.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

After a lovely steak dinner for my son's 18th dinner (when asked what he wanted to drink, he paused, looked me and tentatively asked for a half a cider) the waitress said can I have some ID please...I thought woe is me, I forgot his bloody passport! And was willing to drive all the way home to get it....he said that's okay Mum, I'll have a coke instead...the entire family was at the dinner, and all went come on, give the lad his drink it's his birthday, the waitress said, if someone else orders it...well, I won't need the ID after all...phew :-)

Now sitting next to a roaring fire with the weather station measuring a frosty -2.1c outside watching 'wanted' Come on snow, you know you can make an appearance sooner rather than later please!

[john pike]

 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

wake me up when that low moves

 

strong south westerly wind

 

rain again moving through and some heavy

 

but again moving through quite quickly

 

 

watch the low to our west under the main low

 

this could be the thing that shifts it south-south east

 

would prefer not to see that high to our far south east but thankfully at present

 

it is a long way from us

 

 

i am calling fi at 96 at present

 

until that low is resolved the charts will be all over the place

[Croydondazz]

Thanks for all the updates as always

[john pike]

 

not exactly warm these

 

wind

 

 

some breezy bits but not nothing to worry about

 

rain

 

 

rain 15th on

 

not huge amounts but enough to concern the flooding areas

 

looking fairly dry 18th on

hi croydon

 

no prob mate

 

if you look at all the runs there is still confusion

 

until that is resolved anything can happen

 

and we all know how these lows effect the models

 

stick at 120 for now

 

and even if they show raging easterlies as that will still be fi

 

although i can still pick some impressive ramp charts

Very chilly and frosty out there tonight. And such a clear sky. My ol' mate Orion is out there watching over us.

I've been watching 'Bloody Britain' on Discovery History. Really good and definately a bit bloody. Nice to go to bed on.

[john pike]

heres a control run ramp

Evening all

 

In an attempt to encourage some weather from the East I knocked up some home made chicken kievs tonight and I have to say they were really quite good, nice and light with proper crispy homemade breadcrumbs and a touch of paprika in the buttery parsley filling, served with Heston's recipe for 3-times cooked chips and a green salad. I got quite a lot of satisfaction out of beating the chicken breast with a rolling pin between a couple of pieces of clingflim, picturing the poor piece of a once innocent bird as the infamous polar vortex and thrashing it probably a little more than was really necessary.

 

Tomorrow, steak and ale pie with mash, the mash being of course the closest we are going to get for some time to lying snow.

 

All a bit retro, reading those food choices back.  Ah well, suits me!

Hello and evening all,

 

I haven't posted here since the tidal surge thingymebob although I have been reading each and every day.  Thank you all so much for your updates and clear english in explanations.

 

There is a lovely clear sky with so many stars showing both in the Farthing Corner part of Rainham and lower Gillingham and so frosty.
