Default I am normally cynical but....

Over the last three days models have been consistent both with each
other and over time.
I would therefore say that the forecast late winter cold spell is on.
(Cold not severe).
Winds veering northeasterly? Is that realistic? With lambing about to
start I would say it is.
It would certainly be in line with the Office's forecast.
Why not-these forecasts have given me a late 'lift' anyway.
Cheers

You'll never make a weather forecaster Victor if you have to wait until the
weather happens before forecasting it !!!

Paul, going for cold !!!!!!

Seriously, thanks Paul, it's nice to have your backing. Let's hope that it is
not too serious for the farmers and other folk who have to work outside in it.

It could be serious for some of them. Some farmers are already lambing
(some even start in December). One of my neighbours started last week
and has a total of 500 ewes to lamb; most of them outside. It is not
looking good for them. I'm OK as my little flock is now inside, where
they will start lambing from mid March.

Yes looks like some classic lambing weather :-( My dad lambs indoors
nowadays thank goodness...

What could be interesting is the interaction with a population no
longer used to snow,, ie driving problems and the stupidity of walking
home drunk in very cold conditions.

The next severe spell in England is going to be a problem. I remember
as I left last year a small fall in Birmingham caused 8 hour delays in
the rush hour.
