Well im sorry a post did not arrive on the newsgroup
and using a bt newserver you should understand that.

hehe

no harm done.

Let's face it, the temps in the South and esp. SW were much lower than
ANYONE predicted yesterday. As the forecasters probably thought... s**t
happens. That's the weather for you!

Actually I'm only using the BT newserver because a few days ago the
excellent German newserver CIN.DFN.DE suddenly decided it didn't
like me and wouldn't let me on. I haven't been bothered to re-register
yet. The BT newserver these days seems far better than what it like
a few years ago (virtually unusable) which made me switch to the
German one in the first place.

Because mild weather had previously been brought deep into Europe, so
the wind will have to stay in the NE/E for some time before we get any
really cold air arriving. Looking at the temperatures given in this
morning's newspaper, it looked as though the nearest really cold air was
over Finland and Russia.

I see. To be honest I thought that Europe had been quite cold recently,
or at least not unseasonably warm.

Most of the temperatures given for yesterday for central and northern
Europe seemed to be a few degrees above freezing. Of the places listed,
only Helsinki and Moscow had temperatures that were substantially
negative.

Something similar happened in 1986. The wind turned into the NE in late
January, but it took four or five days before really cold air arrived.

And then look what happened



Don't get your hopes too high. I'm afraid that we're too late in the
winter now for any really prolonged severe cold.

Col - you don't need to re-register. They have simply changed server name
to news.individual.net. Change the server name in OE to that and it
*should* work again with your existing user name and password.

It's now news.individual.net - just change the server address in your
settings.

Yes I know, I read the thread earlier. Unfortunately I tried all that and
it didn't work for me . Somebody else said that they had re-registered
and everything was fine so that's what I will do.

I'm not particularly hoping for a severe spell, as you say, it's pretty
late on in the winter now. Normally at this time of year I'm fed up of
winter and wishing for a mild March and early spring. However it
would be interesting and indeed unusual for this day and age for
there to be a severe spell late in Feb and leading onto a cold and
wintry March (No 20C days please!). This would be followed by a
rapid change to warm and sunny weather in early April.
Well that's my dream weather for the next six weeks anyway

What's happening is that the old cis.dfn.de server is being reserved
for university use, and will no longer be available for the public.
The news.individual.net server replaces it, so if you do re-register,
make sure you don't try to re-register for cis, as it won't work
whatever you do.

Actually, they mentioned this on their website several months ago,
but maybe they should have sent out emails?

I believe the automatic temps are for the mildest location and also taken
from the 850 temps, in a high pressure set up as of present will not allow
for the colder air below this.

OK, we've got a strong NE flow coming up over the weekend moving
around high pressure with largely clear skies. However temps are
*still* expected to be 6/7C, surely around average for this time of
year.
Never mind the 'bitter' (ha-ha!) feel of the wind, why so mild?
This is a strong NE flow in February for heavens sake, I'd have thought
2-3C, or even lower would be more the order of the day.
I would expect 6-7C in a showery and blustery NW flow to the rear of
a depression not in what looks like it should be a 'classic' cold
situation.

So what is the answer, SST's, global warming.........?
