Not sure Jax but I really really li

[tadpole]

It is so nice to sit here and not wonder if the lead flashing will come off for a 3rd weekend in a row?  yes it's a bit damp outside but it's very quiet.......bliss! 

Instead I'm wondering if the only snow I'll get will be while I'm away in next month?

[Jax]

Wasn't aware there was a max?, are you concerned that you've become a serial liker?

which is a start

It's raining in Ippy. Makes a change I guess.

Just been watching a programme on CI about unusual deaths. A bible salesman was trying to sell his wares to a woman......when he was struck by a 'bolt from the blue' right on her doorstep. Oh, the irony!

It explained about 'Stepped Feelers' and how they travel miles from the original storm area looking for a quick rout to Earth. This one found it right enough.

Hello JohnWhat are the chances do you think of a few days out of next week being dry? To me it looks like we have a real risk of weather fronts held up over the areas that really don't need it, including Surrey and round about, but I'd love your more expert opinion. Anyway, hope all's ok with you my friend, thanksAS

Trip to 'likers anonymous' for you I think

Nothing anonymous about it if the first thing you have to do is stand up and say ' hello my name is _______ and I'm a likerholic'

Cold and damp here .... I'm on my second hot choccy, watched the battered Britain weather programme now catching up with the Grand Canyon one from Sunday :-)

hi ab

 

i ok thanks i hope your well

 

waiting the fax charts as there is confusion where this

 

low incoming will go

 

my hope is it goes south before it gets to us

 

will pop them up as soon as ready

[Jax]

You guy and gals just post sooooo much good stuff I keep coming back and have to like you all

[john pike]

fax for tuesday

 

this is different again

 

a variable but mainly westerly flow

 

low pressure over us which is likely to cause heavy rain for a time

 

however it looks likely to be moving very quickly so should not last too long

 

this may go south east as well

 

528 dam air close to our north east

 

a lot of high pressure there to our north and north east

 

waiting 120

Do you think it will then or take the model prediction?

[Jax]

who remembers that?

not me, what is it?

not me, what is it?

oh hang on, freddie laker? (doh?)

[JennyJane1]

oh hang on, freddie laker? (doh?)

its my sense of humour.Takes a bit of getting used to.

[terryall]

Remember Freddy well. Went to Spain for a week and it cost £27 all in at a hotel in Costa Brava. Worst holiday I had but married my then girl friend so best holiday in the end and, yes, we are still happily married. Oh, and to keep it on topic - it was hot.

[john pike]

wednesday

 

 

a fairly strong south west wind

 

yuk

 

fronts over us causing more rain

 

there is a chance it may go to our east but hard to call this

 

note the high pressure to our north and north east

 

and the potential the high to out north west and west will block the atlantic or at least slow it down

 

not cold

 

the other thing showing is the 528 dam air to our north east has not budged

 

there could be an undercut situation there and the outlook after this would be very different

 

safe to say

 

fi is at 96

 

do not lose hope if looking for cold

 

this situation is far from resolved yet

[Keraunic]

Here's the video of the 'Frying Tonight' story........

Enjoy.

Thanks John, I'll await your update, thanks as ever.I saw a news report this morning about a young chap who fell 800 ft in the Cairngorms, was still (as for all mountaineers) learning about the mountains, out with an experienced bunch of people, well kitted out, they just made a small error in their navigation in a white-out, and it seems he fell through a cornice, badly injured, his dad above him in the hills wondering what had happened, thinking he was dead, and it struck me how on our small island there are such differences between almost tropical weather in the south west and sub Arctic plateau weather in the Cairngorms, and all within our reach whether through a train, plane, car or hitch-hiking in the way the old British climbers used to do in the 30s and 40s to get to the highlands of Scotland. Back to our young lad yesterday, heroic teams went out and rescued him. I've been on trips with mountain guides, who all double as rescuers, and they just love the outdoors, always do their best, and nearly always in extreme situations. I suppose this is me saying if you get the chance to stick a pound coin in a mountain rescue tin then take it, same with the RNLI, all volunteers, all tolerant of our desire for adventure and all prepared to put their necks on the line in all weathers and even for those that head out with nothing more than a pair of trainers and a phone, and the rescuers seem always to stop and take a deep breath and count to 10 before saying anything.AS Edited January 10, 2014 by abruzzi spur

Its really dragging out this one JP don't you think. I don;t think any of us have an idea whats going on with the models, However i am pretty convinced we could be in for a very Wintry trip very very shortly, Days not weeks.

Here in Brighton it's been a lovely day, the sun made a welcome appearance, albeit Crisp AM frost at Stanmer College. We propagated some £5k worth of hard wood cuttings in saturated ground conditions, but Stanmer Park was thriving, snow drops in abundance and daffs already poking through. I even have a scabious (cornflower) flowering in the Garden.

Have a good weekend all :-)
