SL, Did you get this from Ebay......?.IF the advert stated Working order Then you are entitled to a full refund, Open a case up...How did you pay him ,Cash or Paypal.?. Ebay rules state if a product is listed working order "It must work". Leave him the most negative feed going on planet Earth and load it up, State what it was purchased for etc. I can't stand people like that (Parasite).

Bugger, Well fingers crossed they can sort it.

Dubmuffin, I live around the corner, well a very short drive away and have been there a few times in the last week or so as I was amazed at it, I always use to walk past thinking 'one day I would love to see that full'. I stood there with others taking photos, looking like right tourists.

 

I had a quick walk down to the grotto end and it looked like the water was just rising up from the ground.

 

An amazing sight, even the Hog Pit is full, and I think that is where the annual bonfire is held....

 

Only in Oct/Nov was I with our son collecting conkers running around both areas, not a drop of water in sight!

 

AW

If it gets really cold, the Hog Pit will be our very own ice rink - or maybe a boating lake in the Summer:)

There are some scum bags in this world, makes you wonder how some people sleep at night! I hope you can get it fixed and the little man enjoys his birthday - hopefully he will get some real stuff to play in soon :-) Just looked at the weather for next week and it's unlikely to snow where I'm going - average temperature is around 20c so bring it on !

[Flaked Queen]

Ty all for your birthday wishes and kind words

Am even thinking of spreading cotton wool over the garden as last resort lol

So sorry to hear that, what a huge disappointment, poor you. These people are truly awful - you can forward all of our comments to them just so they know how low this bunch of people think they are. Gits. Anyway, I know you'll make a great day out of it anyway. I once burst into tears at Disneyland when we thought Pluto was due at the special breakfast we booked, which was our son's only Disney character he cared about and craved, and of course no Pluto; he had a whale of a time chasing two of the other characters and didn't even notice Pluto wasn't there, still remembers it. And anyway, as to the snow, if we all wish for it enough, it will come, eventually....

Evening

One thing

The ECM control run, I want it more than anything in the world 

Double figure negative maxima for Holland so it must be frigid here too.

Really sorry to hear that Snowlady and I hope you can get the snow machine working in time for the little un's birthday. Sadly Gumtree and Craiglist are regularly flagged up as a scammers paradise on some of the websites I frequent.

 

Sounds as though parts of Sussex and Surrey suffered badly earlier today with yet more flooding. When will it end ?

[snowbob]

Just saying

[Jason T]

[john pike]

tuesday

 

 

 

a weak south westerly

 

temps look chilly around 5-6 degrees

 

some heavy rain during the day

 

and could become persistant

 

edit

 

everything has been pushed further west on this fax

 

would tally in with what ukmo showed earlier

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

120

 

to follow

Edited January 17, 2014 by john pike

[snowbob]

If the fax is even anything close to the 12z ukmo

Then I know your gonna ramp mate

West hint gives it away

Edited January 17, 2014 by snowbob

[snowbob]

120 is late mate

Lol

[lottiekent]

Come on high pressure..you know you want to come for a visit and push the Atlantic back where it should be!

[john pike]

120 fax chart

 

 

 

 

at present the fax chart at 120

 

is the same as ukmo

 

infact the high pressure to our north east-east is 1028 on the fax as opposed to 1025 on ukmo

 

the big issue on here which looks concerning

 

lots of rain

 

and slow moving and heavy

 

temps

 

cold

 

around 5-6 degrees and will drop in the heavier precipitation

 

there will be a wind change when the low goes through

 

could see something winry when i does

so as this matches wih ukmo

 

we see this

 

 

 

a cold easterly flow

 

now the fax may show this pattern furher west tomorrow night

 

would see very cold uppers if that happens

 

with precipitaion in the mix

 

snow may be seen but need tomorrow nights runs to be sure

 

fingers crossed we may see something

 

even if a few flakes for now

Southernman has some friends here he talks to occassionally, though he isn't as chatty as me, just to let you know, he was taken ill this afternoon and they think he has had a kind of mini-stroke, they are giving him a scan on Tuesday to confirm it.

 

Bad news.I am wondering how much more we have to go through.
