winter forecast anyone?
 
Will? Paul Bartlett? Joe *******i? Anyone? 40 kw new wood gasification boiler with 2000 litre heat store arriving next week. Hoping to cut wood consumption down from 30 tons to 12. And get paid for it|!! Renewable heat incentive kicks in next year...)

(from a very dry Isle of Wight, only 357 mm so far this year. average over 800. Still, been very good for my pv panels, earned me £1500 so far this year...)

Coldest winter for 30 years, as I've already said. Nailed on. And if
it doesn't happen, I never said that and I'll sue anyone who says I
did.

Well very likely at December will not be as cold as last year and a
reasonable chance that February will be cooler and drier than last
winter.
This is not a forecast just they were way off normal last winter.

So you run a narrow-gauge third-world steam locomotive. 30
tons of wood is enough to get you from The Cape to Cairo with a modest
load. I do hope your engine has a spark arrestor because setting fire
to The Dark Continent could have political implications these days.
As for your positive-vorticity panels, what do they do?
Logically they should suck and swirl, like a Dyson.

Certainly third world, very leaky drafty Queen Victoria building yards from the sea. Have managed to pour some insulation granules into the cavity wall, so should help.

Atlantic SST anomalies have warm water south of 40N with a cold band from
Newfoundland to Ireland. This suggests more westerly weather than usual.
However, as I've said before, this time of year seems to be subject to
relatively rapid changes in SST patterns and I'll probably have to wait
to the end of November before having any confidence in issuing an SST-
based winter forecast - and probably not even then. ;-)

Won't the fire go out when he goes out?

I imagine he would get more than his feet plates wet leaving the Isle
of Wight in a train.

Some interesting phases coming up. I wonder how they will add to what
is already entrained.

They had cavity walls in Victorian times?
Must discuss...
