Nope.

Not buying into it one bit......

It's all false news and a sham.

If there was ever a game of "phrases in posts on the mod thread bingo" , I wouldn't mind seeing "it's getting near crunch time" on my card

Hands up who has ever seen such a gibberish Met Outlook for next week.

Talk about not having a clue! :))

Just got back from a lovely walk with the granddaughter.  We were lucky enough for her to see her first flakes ( well, tiny tiny flakes) of snow.  Then logged into my facebook account to see a memory from 7 years ago today....me and her big brother building a snowmam in a garden knee deep in the white stuff!  I still believe it will be another white out cone boxing day!!

A little snippet from the past. Not the exact one but a stove very similar to this was the only form of heating in the large wooden hut, a.k.n as The  Met, Office, Larkhill, during the hell of the 623 winter. The electric fire had to used to stop the Dines freezing.

No wonder you hate the cold, Malcom!  That type of stove would surely have been seriously outdated when you were using it.

But it gets better. The radiosonde building was more modern, even with electrical heating no less, but there was a snag. The heating had developed a fault and surprise, surprise, the building was the only one on a huge army camp that was, apparently, the responsibility of the RAF at Boscombe Down. Who of course strongly denied this and thus it didn't get repaired  So working in there at six in the morning was like being in a freezer and even the ink froze. Now hang on ink.......................

Dont know about the large teapot but i agree about the stormy month- the writing is on the wall as we type.Probs best to leave the MO thread for a while as i'm not sure what you and i are expecting would go down very well.

 

[steveinsussex]

[frosty ground]

Why are certain posters allowed to post off topic non sense all the time in the MO thread.... ?

It's obvious they are trending zonal, could rival Dec 2013 this

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Snow people had today on the last day of Autumn,is the only snow they see throughout the winter months ,which start tomorrow.

Looks very much like the usual pattern is setting up for Dec ,low pressure to the North ,and high pressure to the South,with some stormy weather too.

Back to fl to look for cold weather ,which never materialises 99% of the time anyway .

As Mark Twain once said about winter (I think), "The reports of my immanent arrival have been greatly exaggerated".

was same last year, cold to end Nov, then as soon as we entered Dec, mild air arrived, and stayed near enough whole winter, Dec and Jan are the most westerly months of the year

I'm one of the lucky ones who actually got some unexpected nice little snow flurries this morning, some pretty large solid flakes which even laid for a while too, kids enjoyed it on the way to school.  As lovely as it was I really hope that is not all the snow we get to experience this coming winter, I've got 4 virgin sledges which need breaking in and have been collecting dust in the shed for the last 5 winters!

We’ve not used the sledges since March 2013,when we had a big snowstorm here.

Hopefully we  all get to see some proper snow this winter,problem is if the usual weather pattern sets up again for Dec,it always seems to get locked in that pattern for months,the reason why their has been so little snow the last few winters.

Since around '98 really, as you mention though the odd good month in 19 years, getting HLB in the christmas pudding is virtually impossible, our easterly will come mid March
