Well regardless of today's events regarding some **** flooding this NG
(personally I'd break their legs) the weather has been almost pushed into
second place, which is a shame as this is the best down fall I've personally
witnessed since joining this NG around six years ago. I remember a couple of
days ago posting "it Will amount to nothing". Well even though in Siberian
(not) Sydenham there's been non stop snow for about two hours, it is really
struggling to settle. It reminds me of a bucket with a hole the bottom
which is losing water, as long as the water being poured in, is faster or
equal to the water pouring out, then the bucket doesn't run out. My front
path refuses to be covered in snow. Basically it's just not cold enough! If
it were to stop and skies cleared than maybe it would freeze what's there,
if it stops and remains cloudy, then much of it will be gone by morning. So
I'm still going with patchy settled snow and slightly lower than average
temps.

As for the invasion we've suffered I've seen some guesses as to who may be
responsible it would surely have to be someone with some skill and a grudge,
I know who my suspects are and they're not from this NG.

I know who my suspects are and they're not from this NG.

*IF* it's genuinely not you, then please note that they have also hit
The Weather Outlook forums - and badly, tonight of all nights!:-o This
has, incidentally, framed me up for a possibly prosecution.:-( (Note:
this has since been straightened out with the admins, I *think*.:-))

No wonder it's so dead over there - VERY unusual on a night like so!:-o

Maybe they just all chose to take my advice and avoid the models for a
while once the REAL cold and Siberian, Slavic-type snow has well and
truly set in!:-o :-) ;-)

Also, I will reply to your e-mails sometime later this week... or at
least I hope in fact to do so.

Did you get 2.5cm to settle - then I'll only have to buy you a half! I've
said elsewhere that I was surprised it didn't settle more considering how
heavy it was and how near to zero the air was. My theory is the local
councils have put so much salt down in the last few days that anywhere
within half a mile of a road has gone brackish. Or more likely - no frosts
this year and the soil is warm just below the surface.

Lawrence, it is because you are living in a town. Used to be the same in
Manchester in the 60s snow would take far longer to settle than in the
surrounding countryside. One thing I noticed moving to Dartmoor, the snow
settles quickly.

ATB,

Will.
