Sicko

I think is about time we had snow this year, been waiting a long time now, just hope it's your average snow and not a blizzard type situation (last winters winds)

Well then, 2010 snow would be just the ticket. Cuddled up Christmas night with soon to be mother and child in front of the lovely warm fire with the Christmas tree lights twinkling in the corner with the snowcapped bushes outside the window glowing in the moonlight. Then in the blink of an eye, rain and rapid thaw and an easy trip to the hospital.

am I right in thinking we could be getting our first frosts next week ? happy days. summer you did fare out well . roll on the dark nights. falling of the leaf , hard frosts , lamppost watching , plenty of deep snow days and a few storms thrown in. not too much to ask for?

Don't be getting me all excited now!!

Dunno what models you've been looking at lol . Min ground temps next week 5/6 C

sorry was on my phone and don't get to peep as often as I would like and sometimes can be a train wreck to view. im only learning and don't want to bog down the thread.i always stand to be corrected . but midlands and south even yesterday were showing three degrees.and the anomaly charts were nice and blue. maybe more wishfull thinking on my part .like everyone else winter cant come quick enough this year . so my apologies for being over enthusiastic. look forward to reading all your posts over the winter as always and maybe learning a thing or two. many thanks

On hols in France at the moment and the national met service were showing statistics for temperatures this summer. Basically up to this point in August, the mean summer temperatures (for France) are down 2c to 3c - almost exactly the same as 2010 (in contrast, summer 2013 temps were on average +3c above the norm). Not sure what implications this has going forward for Ireland's winter but we all know what a vintage year that was for snow lovers! They showed another chart for July showing the general spread of warm weather which was over the UK and most of the Nordic countries, with colder air over France. Mean summer temperatures for some places in Nordic countries e.g. Oslo were up by 6c from normal!

My little cousin (she is 6)was telling me she really wants snow this year so she can build a snowman that looks like Olaf from Frozen.

I am expecting lots of "Do you want to build a Snowman" being sung if it happens.

I hope it comes true for her sake

Its CFS , all only for a bit of wishful eye candy nothing more than that .. and the CHOO CHOOOO... , for any of the newbies , is the Greenland express! lol

Ummm chart could look better than it may be in reality. More likely rain and sleet showers for the northwest coasts perhaps some snow possible in furthern inland but showers dying out as they push southeast:pac::pac:

Its the best i could find in my whole 2mins of searching OK!? :P

But yeah , this very battleground situation that chart... still nice though!
