another snow-fest or nowt to report?

i predict that i am and will be clad in merino undergarments from 1 week ago until the 1st of april……….. 😉

WE will have lots of weather. It will vary.

I don’t care, I’ll be hibernating.

Tthere is now snow on the ligurian and maritime alps now, and some german guests have reported lots of snow coming down in parts of Bavaria.

Everybody has been saying its gonna be like the last 2 years….so get yer ski’s out!!!

Bollox, I’m moving further south… 😐

According to the rowan berry density in my back garden, it will be a wet, mild winter.

Last year it predicted a cold, snowy winter.

It’s all true.

weve already had sprinklings of the white stuff(hailstones, so thats a good forcast for a bad winter and its not even November yet ! it cud even be knee deep for Halloween so the ghosties n ghoulies will be well camoflaged

Either way is cool. Lots of snow = landy drifting, snowboarding
No snow = lots of biking

That said, the commute is a lot more fun when it isn’t -a billion degrees like the last couple of days…

4ft of snow and -30C, apparently. Maybe I’ll move back to the UK for the winter 🙁

average of 30 celcius for me

😀

my predictions for this winter –

Christmas Day will fall on the 25th, Eastenders will have a big story, New Year will fall at the end of December, I was also going to predict x-factor for number one, but after last year I’m not so sure….

New Year will fall at the end of December

You sure on this? I would be predicting the beginning of January.

I will be drinking beer, and maybe some port and perhaps a little champagne…

Well, the same weather patterns that brought all the mayhem last year and the snow the year before have been recurring regularly since then. Similar airflows brought us the crappy weather from July onwards.. and we had a frost last night.

Lookin good so far 🙂

Problem is, I want to know whether or not to buy XC skis from the US next month. If I don’t there’ll be loads of snow. If I do, it’ll be the warmest winter on record 🙂

I will regret not bothering bringing winter boots or mudguards or a winter road bike. Only until the 17th Dec though..

Netweather.tv’s winter forecast:

http://nwstatic.co.uk/winter2010/netweather-winter-2010-forecast.pdf

Most of the long range one’s I’ve seen give broadly the same. Netweather got most of last winter correct. Might be good for pennine skiing and peak biking. I’m after continous snow cover from December to March above 400m in the North Pennines.

Report the other day of early arrival of Bewick swans from Siberia, which traditionally heralds a cold one

Also one of the weather forecasting services with a good recent track record (ie not the Met Office!) is reckoning on a cold one again.

We have a bag of rock salt ready to keep our precipitous driveway passable to traffic…..

I predict that if Boots run out of Kira, I’m going to be **** miserable from halfway through January until mid March…

Frost in SW Cornwall last night,we are all doomed

we’re all gonna die!

The met office has a good record, what are you talking about…

Lol @ OAP’s link..

Some wintry weather is however expected, particularly during mid to late December
an early January.

Wow, what an amazing prediction!

The gritter drivers will strike. The ambulance crews will strike. The firebrigade will strike. It will get frosty.

So dont drive till May.

Seriously – my neighbour returned from France this evening. He spent days trying to get back by car / ferry. The unions appear to have shut the country down effectively (not that I blame them really). No diesel, toll operators, planes,….

But the Frenchies were always chickens eh?

As per s_c – “Rowan trees say no”

SNOWMAGEDDON!

santa will be busy all night

lots of snow coming down in parts of Bavaria.

i can vouch for that.

read something the other day/week that cold winters come in set of three or four. last winter was a ‘proper’ winter – even here in southern bavaria – so the coming winter should also be cold assuming it’s the second or third of the cold winters.

as for me….. it’ll be (relatively) warm as i’ll be sitting somewhere off the coast of africa….

… with my bike(s).

something like 25 degs for me i suspect

People will repeatedly ask me if I am going to ride in to work in “this weather”.

My forecast is that this winter will be unpredictable.

My predictions for this winter remain the same since the election, there will be rioting on the streets before Xmas
