Just look at this chart. Our current high and the big Russian high appear
to be merging by next weekend. If this is to happen then I would have to
say big time snow. It's all on a knife edge at the moment though.

Why is the date 'Fri 23.07.04'?

Hi

I couldn't help noticing the day/date. The forecast chart is not exactly the
same but not far off that for Sat 29th Jan 1972, 33 years ago:

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive...1972012912.gif

The day before was even closer:

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive...1972012812.gif

For some reason, the intense cold of that Saturday in Macclesfield, Cheshire
(max temp ~ -3) stuck in my mind ever since. Although I was only a teenager
at the time, the strong NE wind, continual but light snow showers (which did
not melt but the slight deposit from each one just blew around for the rest
of the day) interspersed with sunshine became a 'baseline' in my own
records, possibly because I had a 'schoolboy' Saturday job then that
involved outside work. Until Dec 31 1978, nothing so cold had been had since
in that locality and only a handful of days since in winters such as the
rest of 1979, 1981/82, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1995/6 (and Dec 2000 on a visit
to E Kilbride area of Scotland) have produced anything quite the same in any
area I have lived.

For the record, that 1972 cold spell went on for another 2 days followed by
an all day snowfall in Macclesfield on Tues 1 Feb 1972 which unfortunately
heralded the onset of milder weather the following day and the cold spell
was then over.

So 9 years on from the last time in 1995/6, here's just hoping ;-)

I realised that one second after posting. It's called 'a senior
moment'. They creep up on you as you get older.

For those who are otherwise brain dead, select 12 GMT + 168h ( Saturday 29th
Jan 2005 ).
I didn't think I needed to spell it out on a science news group!

I've been having them since I was a child. It's somehow comforting that I
was having them over 50 years ago, but now I worry that they might be
getting more frequent. Trouble is, I can't remember how frequent they used
to be . . .
