Game on looks like we could have a big freeze start of jan
Joe b has said this
Stratwarm event starting in Siberia in about 10 days similar to set up for 1984-1985 winter, but is a 2-3 week precursor to major Us cold


I agree with joe as i said a few weeks back, 1984 type event could be on the cards
Heres what 84 85 winter was
1984-85: Very cold and snowy, especially in Southern England. My parents also go on about this one, as they lived in Hampshire at the time, and my brother was born. It was a very cold winter. Early January, there was snow in Eastern England. Mid January, East Anglia and Kent getting the goods, with 6 inches falling here. Mid January, South West England and South Wales (yippee!). Late January seeing snow in Scotland, and the prone spots, such as Aviemore, getting 2ft of level snow, Northern Britain as a whole affected though. Mid February, Southern England, 6-12 inches, substantial drifting taking place. 29th March gave Scotland snow. A memorable year. Snowy.

where abouts you live mcriot?

I think the following quote from MT's forecast this morning (12th December) is well worth mentioning to those looking for a cold winter. It appears to have been overlooked somewhat on the boards..........

MT Cranium Quote
SATURDAY and BEYOND ... There will be further cold and windy weather for the weekend with the risk of snow or sleet, then a milder trend next week, that could turn into a much milder pattern for a few days just around Christmas. I'm expecting that to end rather abruptly just after Christmas Day and sticking to the idea of a much colder January.

After MT's excellent long range forecast for Nov/Dec 2010, I am putting my faith in him!!

That forecast was eerily accurate at times and i've said from the beginning that i'm sticking with his prediction for a cold january. If he gets it right this year then i may start planning my whole year around his forecasts!

I believe it was in Russia. The wind blew the snow against the door of the house.

To all the weather experts out there, can somebody please tell where is our snow???

I am in the Clare/Limerick area and we have had rain and wind and cold and hailstones and misery and I have been so looking forward to getting some snow this year as I love a white christmas. I can see up north they got some lovely white snow yet I'm still waiting for some down our side of the country.

Are we going to get any and does anybody have an idea of when?

Well there will be some tonight and tomorrow but is likely to be slushy wet snow the higher up you are the better as usual;)

There was snow on my car window this morning in Portmarnock. RTE weather and the Met Eireann forecast on the radio this morning are in total conflict with one another... no surprises there though, to be fair!:cool::D

They are both Met Eireann. Met Eireann have got today's weather spot on so far.

This morning I am optimistic for the first time this winter - look at the Russian high linking up with the Azores high on this ECM chart.
A long way off but as I said something to be optimistic about.
