Rob, Graham, we know that and we don't mind! What you guys don't seem to
get
is that we don't all like feeling cold either. We just happen to think
that
constant cloud, damp, drizzle and 6-7C actually FEELS colder. It makes us
miserable.Being cheerful folks we prefer beautiful blue skies, crisp
frosts
and a snowfall that makes everywhere so bright and cheery and is different
and great fun for kids.
It *does* feel colder - coming out to my car on a damp, cloudy, 8deg morning
is much more cold feeling than a -1 still, sunny morning!

Was recently in switzerland on top of a mountain at -12, and, honest to god,
I was colder back in blighty at a rainy heathrow at 9 degrees!

I mean who the hell wants to be cold?

I was originally going to post another "my dreams!" message here, but
instead I will deliver something that is a little bit more constructive
this time around to you all.:-)

On the radio this morning I distinctly heard the forecaster saying
that
a cold easterly will become established next week - but I can't see
it
on any chart. I'm sure something weird is going on..

Indeed. This is just another in a long-line of regional weather
forecasters who are calling a "cold easterly" to develop sometime in
this February, in spite of frequent poor - from a strict snow-lovers
point of view - model runs of late. However, unlike in previous
years, when the likes of Tom Presutti and Metcheck would lead the final
"cold February" charge, à la 2003 and 2004 respectively, this time,
it's, amazingly, the Met Office, and their aligned BBC and local
forecasters - bar Everton Fox over on the BBC Weather weekly update
website - who are leading the charge this year.

These as indeed interesting times we indeed live in - and that's a
grave understatement.:-)

By the way, Robert Felix's website is reporting that Moscow has just
had the snowiest weather ON RECORD! Couple this with Europe's heaviest
snows since about 1941 - no wonder, frankly, the Pontiff was
hospitalised in ROME(!) because of this - and this *may* be what is
heading out way!

This is indeed an exceptionally potent Siberian/Kazakhstan blast. If
this is to reoccur repeatedly for the second half of this winter -
February 6-March 21 by the old Pagan calendar - just as it had
already done in the first half, not to mention at least ONCE throughout
the last two disappointing winters for Britain, then the chances of
course will no doubt grow that it *might* affect Britain, just like it
already has the far South-East of the country!:-o

Brian Gaze - this PROVES your theory that these easterly cold snaps
*can* still deliver the goods. (Has anyone seen the pictures that came
in from Eastern Austria and Southern Bavaria the other day?) The
question is now, as Andrew Bond has said in his unofficial comments to
TWO, will it ever each the United Kingdom?

Dead right Dave!

I've just endured 11 days of gloom, damp and persistent drizzle with
temps 5 to 7c, can't think of anything more depressing!

Yup, and they seemed reasonably confident about it too.
Bright and breezy with snow showers in places temps down
to -5C across much of the country. Now just rain at times with
temps down to (shock, horror!) around average. Any snow
confined to the Scottish Highlands.

If this was December I'd be very disappointed, but now who cares?
Certainly not me. The days are getting longer, the sun is climbing
higher in the sky and spring is on it's way.
This winter is over.
Every year I hope for if not a genuinely severe winter but one in
which there are at least a couple of severe periods. Every year
continues to disappoint. Let's face it, GW is taking over......

Col - Looking forward to the prospects for winter 2005/06.

You have children?!? You mean, they let nutcases like you BREED?!?

Well, your children have my utmost sympathies.

Come on, throw another witty retort back this way - you know we all
just LOVE to see your inane rants and raves. They're good for a laugh,
if nothing else.

LOL. NO. Not yet. I am just saying that should I *one day* HAVE
children.

There is nothing stopping me.:-) Well, except celibacy.

Thank you. They will need it if they come into the world anywhere
within 50 miles of the British Isles.:-)

No wonder you have to use false names and such online. What an idiot.

Keep those insults coming! Let's show the forum how stupid you really
are!
