Snow
 

Scotty? Have you seen the weather? Some parts of the highlands might get a dusting of snow tonight, tomorrow.....

Yup and thank god I moved lol .

Could take the black one out for a play in the snow....in JULY....:yeah:

Not a chance in hell don't want 2 scoobs off the road lol .

Sounds like you need some driving lessons :p

weird weather to get that in july...even ooop north

Lol yeah I need some .

You kidding Tim this is one messed up country up here .

Looks like Rob brought down the good old Scottish weather back with him well the sun is splitting the trees up here lol .

Kent is pretty Damp to say the least! and thunder and lightning :ok:

Sussex is no better! Had to come home from work at midday as garden was flooding and garage was filling up with water with the scoob in it :doh:

Was about 2" deep at the front and 4" deep at the back. Lots of soggy stuff in there :doh:

Holy sugar honey ice tea!!!

Hilariously I thought the exact same thing this morning. I think Black Beauty had thought it had escaped the pants Scottish weather... Obviously not!

Hope the house survived any of the damp, sorry to see the garage a little drowned, hope you didn't have anything damaged in the garage! I can't believe how bad it's been today, I'm wondering if Ryan has been washing his car again... Haha!

Bloody hell Steve, that doesn't look good at all.

Hope you get it sorted and it didn't get worse.

Erm... yeah, those were the exact words i used. I think :angst:

Nothing major damaged, some timber which will probably dry out banana shaped and be useless, a few other bits and bobs. Oh, and rock wool insulation soaks up a stupid amount of water, and weights a shedload when its wet! Had a whole roll standing on the garage floor, so thats ruined. But on the plus side, scoob all ok :)

Pretty much dry now, luckily the weather eased off just as i got home to deal with it. Never seen flooding like that here before, the garage filled up because the road flooded out the front of the house and overwhelmed the drains which caused it to rise over the pavement ridge (like a crest) and run down the drive.

:10::10::10:

Yep ill give you that one PMSL !!!!! :ok:

Did you get any this morning Scotty? Abigail dragged in a load of cold air behind her! ��

Nope none yet but this is up at Glenshee

Keep your eyes on next Saturday :grin: Thermal and 850hpa charts are looking interesting!

So what youre saying Nick snow is on route .

Yep, just for the day. Massive chunk of cold air gets dragged in from the NW, trapped in between and area of low and high. If the area of low interacts with the cold...any precipitation falls as snow :whistle:

Well if you dont get any i will send you some:lol:

Never get any on the south coast, and if we do it melts fast.....boring!

Well thats it offically landed up north in kincardine o'neil time will tell if we central belters get any

See...weather wizard told you so :yeah:

You said saturday lol a day early i do hope you's get some white fluffy powder soon .

Impressive work Nick!

We're not due any down here! :-x

I will ask santa kindly :lol:

Where did you buy your crystal ball!!

This morning in Epsom I've woken up to a good half inch of snow covering the cars and ground. It's raining now so melting quick but none of the weather reports I checked yesterday even mentioned a chanve of snow and you saw this coming over a week ago! :worthy:

Any thoughts/predictions on the longer range forecast ?. Are we going to be lucky all winter and largely continue to be mild ?. Or is there any mileage in what the Daily Express were forecasting a couple of months ago about the coldest and harsh winter in 100 years with lots of snow ?.

Cheers

The Express has forecast that for the last five years at least.

Haha! They are so bad at that paper, when the front pages are not filled up with weather news it's something about Princess Diana...

Nathan Rao from the Express has pretty much copy/pasted the winter weather from the previous years for 4 years now. Goes along the lines of

" 1000000 days of snow, worst winter ever, ever "

Always gets his reports from John Madden...( not the NFL one :whistle: )

Most of the decent forecasters are all saying the same thing at the moment. Its a winter of 2 halves. It will begin mild/windy with the odd very cold incursion, like we just had. Then the later half will be very cold.

A El Nino still building in strength has thrown a spanner in the works weather wise on a global scale.

The NAO ( North Atlantic Oscillation ) results are in, but the hardcore are just waiting on the OPI ( October Pattern Index ) results. This enables them to marry up the data and review it against historical data.

Short term, its just about watching what and where the jetstream does and is, and the 850 Thermal charts. The 850 is how i noticed the cold air being dragged in.

Lovely view of my home town of stirling on a winters day

Hold on to your hat scotty. Rapidly deepening area of low
Pressure heading your way Friday pm and into Sunday. Looks like the
Strongest we've had so far.

No doubt the Met office will class ir as a storm and give it a name begging with D

Light dusting if thats what you call it a mate lives in Edinburgh and posted this pic yesterday still no snow where i live

The more I see your wheels, the more I think I want a set!!

That is normally the only snow us 'Southerners' get to see!

There was an isolated flurry on my Forester on Sunday... very similar to that...!

Winter isnt over yet....there might be some balance to come ( fingers crossed )

Probably as much chance as Planet Nibiru / Planet X showing its head in the coming weeks which is claimed to be causing all this due to magnetic pulls and start of polar shift, but you never know, meanwhile I'll enjoy my daffodils in Winter :)
