After yet another lively fall of snow this afternoon here in Northampton, I
was wondering if any of you nice knowledgeable weather forecasters out there
would care to put your reputations on the line and tell us when this lot is
going to end.

I know they say a little of what you enjoy is good for you. But surely,
enough is enough. 2 months ago, most of you were ripping it up with comments
like "Ooh, yummy, snow", "When's the snow arriving?", "How much snow are we
going to get?", "Is there any more snow on the way?", "Oh what fun", and
"Isn't it wonderful". Then over the last few days, I've noticed some concern
in the posts, with an increasing number of people coming round to my way of
thinking, stating quite clearly that the fun is starting to wear just a tad
thin.

Even nature is ****ed off. My snow drops poked their noses up last week,
thought twice about it, and have now reclassified themselves as "snow
burrieds".

So come on you lot, when is this going to end?

Diarrhoea of the soul removed for the sake of humanity.

So come on you lot, when is this going to end?

When the High over Greenland moves away or disappears. Have you not
been paying me any attention at all?

You think you have problems?
Try wasting your time teaching fools.

Never underestimate the capacity for masochism of the snow ballers. When
this current appalling, and seemingly interminable, winter ends they'll
still be moaning that it didn't match '47 or '63 and hoping for a final
April freeze up.

And when, pray, will that be? Sometime this year, maybe?

I don't think even the most hard-line snow lover would want
a snowy Easter!

Yes, this winter is dragging and I'd like to see some spring soon.
I certainly wouldn't want the cold to drag on beyond mid-March.

There has not been much snow down in SE England. None has settled during
February here, and I'm kinda forgetting what January was like... I
wouldnt mind a snowy Easter!

Ah a snowy Easter - dream on!

Snow - still love it!
Best winter for years on Dartmoor and still a whole month to go.

Seriously Jim, when the sun comes north of the equator and jet moves well
north in response.
End of March! Some milder interludes of course before then.

Seriously Will, this sounds too simplistic. You make it sound as if
things (ie jet) are going to suddenly change at the vernal equinox.
It's pretty obvious as Spring arrives the weather will warm.

I have not tried to link my recent endeavours to the times of the
phase of the moon. But it does seem that some more research along the
lines I have been following will help.

The fact is that the times of the phases this year are very difficult
for me to command. The same was true of last year.

When the minutes in the times divide the hour by three (times such as
those at 20 past or to the hour) the chances of getting a clear hit on
intense lows of inflated highs is slim (for me, at the moment.)

(What is the term for high highs by the way. "Building" is for waxing
anticyclones where "deepening" is for Lows but what is the fatty
accompliance? Extensive? Can't be.)

When the time is around the 2nd, 4th, 8th or 10th ~hour, that too
means flaccid spells in the North Atlantic. I have yet to look at the
co-incidents for Greenland Highs of any nature or maturity.

There is nothing to stop anyone else (apart from Dawlish) from looking
at it themselves.

Leeds Uni has an extensive archive of charts for 2007 and 8 if anyone
wishes to take a load:
http://homepages.see.leeds.ac.uk/~lecimb/met/metoffice/

The Canucks also house a good archive (of the Northern hemisphere no
less) no link for that at the moment though.

The USA has stupendous resources (for the USA only of course) but
since a huge amount of our weather comes from there it is still
useful.

Going a little away from the topic of course. But just in case there
really are any bods on here that are interested in getting an
education not strangled at birth by reliance on constupiders.

No apologies for the near rant but really!
