Winter 2011/2012

jon burrows · 2011-06-17 09:34:25

A bit early for this but hey.... :D. Did anyone here that this winter coming is supposed to be another arctic freeze? Could even be worse than 2010/2011 winter. I heard the presenter from RTE 2fm reading it off a newspaper this morning. What are your thoughts or did you hear or read this also?

It's just you, under the strong influence of an over-fondness for the word graupel on the boards.ie weather forum.

I think the ao will soon flip by end of this week, 14 days out it should be going neg lets hope so its like waiting on santa watching it every day , joe b seens to think this week may well see the changes start which will mean by mid jan the 10 to 15 day cold will effect USA, big question is will same effects happen over ireland , going by what mt and vogans forecasts theres a great chance it will.
Best bet is around 10 th of jan till 7 th of feb best shot for a big freeze.

Its gone negative in the Obs its just the forecasts have it going positive again , Although I agree with you , Im thinking around the 12/01/12 for our cold blast this season

Just an amateur assessment of what I am reading and seeing so take it with a massive pinch of salt.

There is a major announcement over on Netweather at 6pm , I wonder will they be announcing that winter will be arriving shortly

*Sigh* I'm still hopeful we'll get an easterly/northeasterly blast in Jan or Feb (something like early Feb 09)
We gotta keep the faith. It can't be mild all the time. A long way to go yet. Exciting times ahead.

Ok. well there's nothing exciting about that, that's for sure!

Just sayin. there's still 2/3 of winter to come. Plenty of time

That map makes me almost want to vomit.

Some real hair dryer stuff on the way, such a waste at this time of year:( - I suppose we're due a mild winter, I could stomach that if it was followed by a decent summer, some thing we are well over due!!

Not exactly a "Bartlett" high (hate that nametag) but a fairly similar set up during the phenomenal wet spell during the 2nd half of Nov 2009:

Large, if flabby, high pressure systems over central and southern Europe steering in plenty of active fronts over Ireland. That'll do me again but can't see it happening this time around.
