I watched the only BBC NW forecast that I have seen this year, last night . Diane Oxberry was the presenter and I didn't hear one mention about fog. 

 

Did she say, I least it will be mild.

i certainly bet she didn't say that she was hopeful of some serious cold and heavy snow for the region in the coming weeks.

I'm sure she said exceptionally mild. Definitely mild. I turned over just at that point to definitely catch her saying mild. 

I think she got burnt by the March 2004 snow debacle.

She loves a bit of exceptional mild does Diane and certainly isn't comfortable when snow is in the forecast.

it probably explains while she took the North West weather presenters job over one in upstate New York.

There would be :)just too many seasonal conditions for her

Hoping for heavy rain/sleet and strong winds on Christmas Day so it feels cosy around the fire with family. Couldn't get any worse than grey skys and mild.

Not much chance of her ordering a pint of bitter then.

The real debate is, who do you prefer presenting our weather here in the northwest?

Mild ramping OX or clueless gibbering Eno?

The OX for me, JUST!

Another vote for the Ox but it's nice to get a break from the pair of them.

i prefer Jo Bligth on Granada although the best presenter on the planet would struggle to make our regions weather interesting.

Yes good shout, Jo is one of the better ones.

I think the OX throws Zara/Sara Blizzard on just when it's proper mild and for a laugh to rub it in coldies faces!

 Currently 7.9°C. I think there must be some sort of inversion going on in places.

My giddy aunt let's hope the GFS 18z has been knocking back the beers, because if the projected storm on crimbo day turns out anything like it suggests, then we could be looking at some serious disruption.... especially on exposed areas coastline, hills etc..

How utterly depressing. How hard is to just have a couple of snowy weeks.

Seems almost impossible over recent winters to get anything even approaching seasonal conditions.

i suppose that's the price you pay for living at the end of the Gulf Stream but that said it's probably the main reason why 60 million people can inhabit an island so far north. After all the same latitude on the other side of the Atlantic is frozen Tundra for much of the year.

as you say though, a couple of weeks with snow and frost wouldn't go amiss, if only so Channel 4 can have some actual wild weather to make a documentary about.

Hopefully we might be spared the suggestion of a very stormy christmas, GFS perhaps over -doing things as usual. I remember christmas 1997 very well, we had a power cut on christmas day after a very severe storm overnight. A year later and we had a nearly identical storm on Boxing Day, 1999 was preety stormy as well. Christmas Eve 2013 was stormy and we had severe gales on the 27th that year. Stormy christmas periods have been par for the course.. 

It is very disapointing having had such a lengthy settled period in recent weeks, for things to have to turn very unsettled in time for christmas, especially for those like me who have time off and like to have at least one calm settled cold day for winter walking - it looks like the 6th christmas period in a row when its been hard to get even just one such day, I managed one in 2014 on the 28th, but most have been a write off since 2009, even 2010 despite the very cold snowy christmas day and boxing day, quickly went downhill on the 27th and produced a cloud murk fest thereafter. Oh to have a christmas period like 2008 and 2009 again.. 2006 and 2007 were equally as bad as those since.

Grim outlook for snow, charts are like groundhog day. Looks like we could be back to square one after some wind and rain turn of the year. Dreadful outlook :bad:
