coast cold dry settled weather??


Yes. I believe February 1947, for example, was very dry in western
Scotland.

LOL at the LOL. Actually, I don't remember that one... about minus 4
by my calculations. Minus 4 months that is, my age at the time!

Turning to more recent times, January and February 1963 (!) were also
dry and settled in Western Scotland

I was laughing at what seemed to be extreme irony ?
I thought there have been some continental highs between then and now that
have generated some dry ish conditions here in our location however hard it
is to achieve - I thought that 1947 might have been rather an extreme year
to choose
Mind you to combat the wetness of the past year -- you may be right -- even
in the last 5 days with a decent high we have only managed one 24 hour
period which I would guess might have been a precipitation free zone but
could not swear to it. The others, however beautiful in the main, have let
us down along the way

Sorry if I offended out of ignorance

urm -- well I am told that Feb 1963 was interesting and not just cos I
arrived in the middle of it -- not unfortunately in the west of Scotland but
the middle of London -- being a bit !!!!!!!!! early I gather my timing was
not ideal ????

Very high pressure in that part of Russia tends to be associated with
very cold Winter conditions over there. If we get an Easterly, the
very cold air will then be drawn towards the UK. The relative absence
of high pressure implies an absence of very cold deep continental air
and less than impressive Easterlies.

For snow lovers, Philip's news *may be* good news.


Or to put it another way: The high pressure presently pulling down cold
polar air is situated to the west of us. However if the cold polar air
is due to the high sitting to the east of us that is..

No, that's not right...

If the Russians invade Poland...

No that's wrong too...

(We'd give them that just to spite the Germans...)

Let me see.. Ermm..

Hang on... I think I had better read the rest of this thread.

It was, but it was the one that was extreme enough to stick in the
memory and thus not require any research on my part. (When I say "stick
in the memory", I mean from reading about it. I'm not old enough to have
been around when it happened.)

Mind you to combat the wetness of the past year -- you may be right -- even
in the last 5 days with a decent high we have only managed one 24 hour
period which I would guess might have been a precipitation free zone but
could not swear to it. The others, however beautiful in the main, have let

Don't worry; I wasn't offended.
