Fifth element Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Coldest december since 2010 so far first 17 days very cold.. December 2010 was the coldest since 1890 and the second coldest december on record.. Record cold is still possible if we have the high pressure sytems centered either over scandinavia or greenland as whats happened last fortnight.. Looks like warming up sunday monday,I was hoping the cold would persist.. May come back to being more average maybe below.. But it has been a record warm year until this month never known trees kept leaves on so late before until severe frosts hit them hard..

Yes, Sunday and Monday should be relatively mild, then heading into Christmas the temps drop down to around average for the time of year. "I'm dreaming of a Wet Christmas..."

masonfreeparty2 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 the GFS model now says the cold weather will continue after this brief mild glitch and we could have record low temperatures for december if these new models prove correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Owl Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 More sensationalist bullshit from the Daily Mail: After the floods, here comes the 'Nightmare from the North'... A six-day shiver that will bring snow to the south and temperatures as low as -15C in some areas Quote Nights as low as -15C will make some areas of Britain even colder than Antarctic research bases. Daytime highs will hit just 1C in the North. Quote England can expect -8C nights, with the -15C forecast in the Scottish Highlands from tomorrow night colder than the Antarctic’s Belgrano II research base. At 800 miles from the Pole, it is the closest coastal station to the globe’s southernmost point and its 19 scientists will see -12C lows. From: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11636499/A-six-day-shiver-bring-snow-south-temperatures-low-15C-areas.html While it is the middle of winter up here in the UK, it is of course also the height of summer on Antarctica. This particular research base is located near the coast, where it is typically much warmer. Further inland, it might currently be 'sunny' but temperatures are still around -30C, so hardly a 'fair comparison', just like the story I linked earlier in this thread which claimed Britain was 'hotter than the Sahara', which was only borderline true. And while both the Sahara Desert and the continent of Antarctica are massive areas of land compared to the size of the UK, despite the small size of our islands, the weather varies a great deal here. If you want to know what the weather is going to be like where you are, then look at a weather forecast website for your local area. Don't go by what the national media report, and even your 'local' news websites just regurgitate the same rubbish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifth element Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Biggest snow since The beast from the east in 2018.. March is when the snow seems to come nothing much all winter except for those very cold nights in december and another cold spell in january with a covering on 1inch of snow.. A foot of snow hit this past week.. The Met Office added that it would be an "exceptionally cold night" on Friday, with a clear and frosty start to Saturday for most. In England, from Stoke-on-Trent to County Durham, the forecaster said significant disruption to transport, power lines and phone network coverage was likely. In Northern Ireland people were warned of "atrocious driving conditions" because of the wind and snow followed by icy conditions on Friday. In north Wales persistent snow and freezing rain could be hazardous to infrastructure and travel. Wednesday night was the coldest of the year so far, with temperatures plummeting to -16C in Altnaharra, Scotland. The Peak District and Pennines have the potential for as much as 40cm of snow into Friday morning, with remote communities at risk of being cut off. The Met Office has issued three amber warnings for northern England, the Midlands, north Wales and Northern Ireland, where "significant disruption" to transport and power supplies is expected. An amber warning means there is a likelihood that severe weather will disrupt people's plans, with a possibility of travel delays, road and rail closures, and power cuts. It also brings a potential risk to life and property.

Nothing on Saturday and 12 degrees warm on Sunday. I remember when we really had snow. They panic over nothing these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They panic over nothing these days It was quite remarkable here in south Birmingham, when I got up on Friday morning, the snow was coming down quite heavy and my garden looked like Antarctica - by 4pm the sun was shining and most of the snow had gone.
