Winter/snow Watch 2013/14

Get your thermals on

 

 

Next month sees the start of severe weather hitting our glorious country and hopefully cutting Scotland adrift from us.

 

My mucker up there who works for the Met Office,says November will bring very bad snowfalls and possibly record low temperatures for that time of the year.

 

He was pretty accurate re the nce summer we had and is adamant this winter will be severe.

 

All goes back to the ''blockers'' he told me about early this year.

Daily express is obsessed with weather. I only read it in the Chinese and it's always snow, freeze, floods, heat wave. 99% of the time it's bollocks.

You obvs weren't about when Jules was sticking a slice of apple up his bottom when golfing.

A quarter, not a slice

See the snow for Tuesday is now sunny spells

I stocked up on de-icer and salt for the drive today 'n'all

When Carol Kirkwood says it's going to snow, I'll sit up and take notice.

All weather forecasters talk bollocks, they have no way of knowing what is going to happen any further ahead than about 7 days, any who claim to know are just talking shit, I'm amazed anybody actually takes them seriously.

 

As Juan Kerr points pit, until Carol Kirkwood says something is going to happen, then I don't take it seriously

The weather doesnt really matter to my job I know but is it just me who pays little attention apart from when I open the blinds of a morning or if it bothers my satellite dish?

Think you're right CWP

 

I have the bbc weather app on my phone more than this place.

 

Anything over 2 days they rarely get right.

 

Bit of a wanker sometimes as we plan high works around it.

 

As for this cold snap...I'm working in my t-shirt because I'm hard as nails.

won't need to send the bill. the wench on granada reports says jules will need to use it in morning. cold snap starting,albeit may not last long but snow may be seen in cheshire and on higher ground. the horwich lot will no doubt update if it sticks

Although I'm not a big believer in long range forecasts,I do take note of the signs Mother Nature gives us.

 

Geese fucking off early and squirrels legging it about everywhere are sure signs its going to be bad one.

 

If anyone knows their onions it's geese an squirrels.

so,who had to use de-icer or the kettle today ?

 

i did for one,at 6-15am

 

leigh white and myself were subjected to snow showers up until 10am in st helens today then glorious blue skies after,which i believe Bolton was treated to all day. bloody freezing though.

 

Scotland's had a couple of inches of snow today and was informed Burnley had some snow,maybe Traf could confirm or deny that.

 

Going to be a cold night and worse is to come

Sandbach had an overnight flurry of snow (sometime around 4am, I think). Car was clear when I ventured out at 11.45.

snow ?   impossible ?  these weather men know jack shit   :blush:

Frost on the car already tonight.

Used my de-icer at 7am today in Marple

 

Just got in. Car says -1 and it feels considerably cowder than last night

 

Possibly as it's so clear?

 

Deep freeze I reckon!

Do you not factor in an extra 5 seconds at this time of year, just in case of bad weather?
