Snow ramping, not by me though
 

There is a bit of snow ramping going on by the independents. I am not
getting drawn into it. No, its not because I am stand offish. It is because
everytime someone gets over excited by cold weather we all get disappointed.
Onto more important bits. This calm quiet December is getting quite
interesting, already a third of the way through the month and all the
precipitation I have had here is a little drizzle.

Hi, Paul,

Without doubt! My daughter is to pick up at Darlington station on
Friday, transport to Copley, then a return to a party in Darlington,
pick up in the early hours and return to Copley.
I looked at the chart and think it's a definite by the law of Sod.

Best wishes,

With 850hPa temperatures between 0 and MS5 degC and a strong gradient I
would not think any frontal preciptation would fall as snow, unless above
1000m. In the convective situtation behind it's a different matter.
There's nothing to worry about there, let the party go on !

i don't mean to be rude, but if you want to keep hold of sanity don't
read TWO forums

i'm reading stuff like

"thanks to metcheck, it's looking good for the end of next week?"

crystal ball time again eh?
or maybe Bond makes our weather, is really a God of some description

there's just no educating some people

1) no-one really knows what it'll be doing by the end of next week

2) that is like thanking the lottery company for the win you've yet to
have

Bah, fiddlesticks, had enough of this utter rubbish

What i always say, if people start getting excited about what weather
model+2 or 3 weeks show then
i predict i'll end in tears most of the time

I realise what we have right now is boring to some people, just that i
think some people do not keep their feet
on terra firma

Hi, Joe,

The party will go on alright. She won't notice road conditions. It's
just Victor Meldrew here. ):-(

..... plus if you remember, earlier in the winter you said you didn't like
cold weather because of the cost of heating oil.;-(

So Andrew Bond is actually controlling our weather?
Does that mean we can sue him for damages if we do get snow and ice and have
an accident? After all it was all his fault!

I must admit I am very disallusioned as far as snow in this country is
concerned. Nothing in the models has given me any confidence that we
will get any this year once again. Winter now consists of a frost down
here in southeast and if it sleets it's a siberian winter. I've nearly
lost hope.

But you are in coastal South East England.
From what I understand of the British climate, lowland Southern England
*never* got reliable snowfall in winter, though the odd severe easterly
blizzard always occurred when the conditions were right.
Today of course the chances of this 'perfect storm' seem to be receding
ever more year on year but I don't think there was ever a 'golden age' of
British snowfall. Well not in the last 100 years at least.......

Trouble is, 1963 was just so good down in these parts. When you're 13 and

I was 11 in 1963 and in Manchester we had hardly any snow, being well sheltered
from the east. My best snow memory was in Dec 1981 driving back home through 30
cm of snow on the M4 around Heathrow after doing a night shift at London Weather
Centre! And of course the very brief Haytor blizzard of March 11th 2003 :-)

Well, we had sleet one day in November this year in my part of Surrey.
If we can have sleet in November, then clearly snow in January is still
quite possible. So don't give up hope.

So was I, well actually 2 1/2 in winter 62/3, but I'm fairly sure I
have direct memories of sitting inside the igloo that my (older)
sisters built on the back lawn. Not so sure about the memories of the
exterior or walking on the frozen R.Avon at Stratford-on-Avon as they
may be derived from family photographs.
