anyways back on topic a day or two of moist cold air can dump a large amount of snow on us so i dont rule out snow for any of the months even without FI or Formula One as I thought it used to be when I first started out here.

I always wondered why the Formula 1 charts had no McLarens or Ferraris. Well as I was saying on the snow we have got quite a deal of snow from short cold snaps that has taken a long time to melt because of long nights and low but not very low temperatures.

As the farmers were saying before last Christmas around here... its too cold to snow anymore and it didnt. I think weatherwise the air was so still and clear that everything just froze and there were some light showers of dusty snow apart from the East that got the deluge due to moist streamers.

So can I just say that the moist air may be better for snow but I know it will just be the messy stuff and not the dry clean stuff we all like but hey the wet stuff is better for snowballs and gets deeper. Hurray.

So roll on months and months of snowy episodes even if they just last a couple of days. Sure when the novelty wears off a storm will come then frost then rain then snow so lots of weather.:D;):p:):rolleyes::o:mad::(:eek::cool::P:confused::pac:

I was referring to the bits of white stuff on the edge of the grass behind her, and on the mound. Looks like hail or snow to me.

You're probably right. It looked like hail to me but rocks is more likely. MTs winter outlook probably has me paranoid :P

Yes, she is quite plain.

Some people are seeing "snow" what are they drinking, and can I have some!

thetonynator · 13-10-2011 11:05pm

Whats the current obsession with thinking there is snow where there can't possibly be? theres been quite a few posts about it. At the moment, at 10p.m. there is only 1 station in single figures and most are at 15. We'll know when conditions are cold enough for chances of snow! I think people are getting delirious from lack of it and seeing things . . .:P

I was only asking for someone elses opinion on what looked like hail to me, theres no harm in that. Also I wasn't thinking about temperatures. It was white here in one area with hail last week.
Its not impossible to have snow in October either and forecasters have been caught out in the past. Many times we have had a snow day that no one seen coming.

what was it in the bible "happy are those who have not seen and yet believe for theirs is the kingdom of snow"

Calibos · 13-10-2011 11:33pm

Well I'm doing my Murphys Law bit by refusing to get crampons or snowsocks for the car again this year. If I get them we won't get the snow. You know what they say, "Fail to Prepare, Prepare to....get buried in Snow"

Shall I delay getting my slipping clutch fixed so I don't get wheelspin on the ice!

Lucreto · 14-10-2011 12:13am

I am a little disappointed as I was expecting it to be worse than last year.

I think James Madden raised my expectations a little too high with his report and he may change it within a few weeks.

James Madden- Worse than last year with lots of snow.

M.T. Cranium- Not as bad as last year with some snow.

Brian Gaze- Delayed his winter report because "The 'hints' coming out of Exeter seem to be suggesting they are expecting a milder winter this year."

Joe Bastardi- I think he supports a cold winter.

Everyone is all over the place with year.

The best bet of all it prepare for the worse and hope for the best and whatever happens, happens.

Sorry,I came across a bit harsh, just I've seen quite a few examples of it lately and I went off on a rant!

They say its about 1 degree celsius every 150m.
That can vary depending on the air mass overhead though but it usually would be 150m.
