Are you forgetting Global Warming?

Surely, continued Arctic warming will mean less chance of cold air getting far enough south to provide severe 

Not at all,but a less active sun should hopefully help that's the only reason  I said what I said. To tell the truth I think only an inactive sun is the only way we can get proper cold spells now!

Thinking this event next week is not going to deliver much compared to the last one. More marginal and quicker moving. Ice maybe a bigger problem I feel.

agree definitely, will start as rain for all, lucky areas will see snow, but maybe just back edge

I'm a mild fan, and that even depresses me.  Did you really join the forum just to try to anger cold fans?

Nah. I am a cold fan too. Just a disheartened, cynical one taking my frustration out on the still freshly optimistic. Probably shouldn't have.

Yes Xmas is normally mild now in the christmas pudding, seems too late somehow, jet/Atlantic normally wakes up a week before

 

Oh come off it. I know its Christmas time, goodwill to all men etc but I can't sit back at this unsubstantiated twaddle. when is your starting point for this? 2011? The CET mean for Christmas Days of the 2000s is 4.4C, it is nearly 6.3C in the 1980s. 

You probably won't respond to this anyway.

Well it ought to be, IMO: if something marginal exhibits marginality, then something zonal ought to exhibit zonality...? Sod Scrabble!

And when Charles Dickens was a boy, look at this run of Christmas Days in London, it wasn't a white, snowy, bitterly cold Christmas every time. That spans Dickens' life from 11 to 16 years old.

1824: 52F

1825: 56F

1826: 45F

Can any of the experts explain the death of the mid winter Easterly.Growing up as a kid in late 70s to late 80s ,you could almost guarantee one Easterly outbreak every winter,now since jan 87 ,30 years ago ,you could count on one hand how many true Easterlies .and never bitterly cold ones like in the 80s 

RIP 80s winters never to be seen again

I think it total nonsense to denigrate the importance of  teleconnections, now and more importantly in the future, to understanding climate and medium to long term weather forecasting. In fact I'm amazed it should be questioned in a scientific forum. Of course great care has to be taken with their use and in the understanding of what they are saying, particularly in reference to our neck of the woods.  Ongoing research will no doubt improve our understanding of the complex mechanisms involved. The subject arises periodically and one such occasion was just after I first graced the corridors of NW and I posted this in the history forum. just to show that from little acorns........................

Not wishing to knock all the knockers knock, but surely we must get all the knockers in their right order, otherwise you have knockers all over the place, so which one is the biggest knocker? does one big knocker out weigh the smaller knockers?

Anyway that's enough from him and me, and I shall carry on looking at the myriad of knockers.

Merry Christmas to you.

Cotswolds would be my choice to see some snow, somewhere like Stow on the Wold. Merry Christmas to all.

Good news. Santa's been arrested for peddling cold porn.

Yes but these sliders don't make it far enough for the North and all they give is slushy deposits further south - tedious - effing gutted.
