Deary me they are talking about floods and everything in the model thread,  even tho we have had 4 months in a row that have been well below the avg rainfall.

Its not rain im seeing in them charts its snow.

Would be real  nice if everything fell into nplace now and wee seen some snow just in time for Christmas!

Some serious imbyism on the model thread anything outside of southern England is a bust

Even if we don't get snow, I love a good Christmas storm. All snuggled up in front of the fire with a wee beer or three as the wind and rain rages outside.

Lovely stuff!

Indeed Carbon very misleading as well, personally I detest the phrase beast from the east and the continued hunting for this resulting in the total disregard for cold that might benefit other regions!

I have a hankering to get a real nice bottle of Irish or Scottish whiskey, anyone any suggestions??

Highland Park without the E is very nice. I'm not a big Whisky drinker but I do find this more palatable. A wee bit pricey but it's Christmas after all.

This winter is so boring!! Least we had a bit of rain to change the norm grey skies ! And were us GP in the model thread. Has he done a runner? Anyway the chase continues just like every year. And will be the same outcome I'm sure. Not much snow.

GP has just posted in the model thread Neiller  not sure what it all means but the final week of December may hold some interest?

Looking at recent runs there appears to be a chance of PM shots of -4 uppers around the Christmas period. Perhaps a chance of seeing some white stuff in favoured locations?

[booferking]

I would take the GEM for xmas day should get wintery showers with that chart, i would,nt look to much into the @850 as they are always 4-5 degree colder than what they say on the GEM.

At least Christmas is looking interesting. If we do get a deep low near and overhead, the deeper the better as the 850mb level will be lower so the air will be less modified. If we could just get -6 850s, snow would be certain.

Imagine a Christmas Night blizzard!

Now that would be great!! Blizzards and power cuts!! Christmas with the family in front of the fire the old way with candles lit and a good old board game. Lol

[Sperrin]

Jaysis Ronan, if there's a power cut how would we lamp post watch???

[ronan]

Light a big fire outside the window. Lol

That was a crazy storm! We got a call later in the night to say that a tree had fallen in through our kitchen roof! We couldn't get home until the next morning as the main Victoria Road out of Derry was blocked by several fallen trees.
