 Poster: A snowHead
|
The Weather Outlook (TWO for short) have just published their long-range forecast for the UK this winter. Here are a couple of juicy predictions:
| Quote: |
| There is a high likelihood of widespread and heavy snow during January and February with a 50% probability of blizzards bringing the most significant snowfall to south eastern areas since January 1987. |
...
| Quote: |
| According to Brian Gaze, TheWeatherOutlooks senior forecaster "Our expectation is the coming winter will be similar to those of the mid-1980's when even in southern areas moderate or heavy snowfall was not so unusual." |
The full forecast can be accessed here, and via the links at the bottom of that page.

Paul Mason, not far, I know, but the roads will be terrible , and the traffic past the Metro centre dire!!!!! Anyway, I can always take my skis to Harras Bank, just have to time the traffic lights right!!! Might give Weardale Ski Club a go if we have a really good Winter.

They had 10 days ski-ing in Allenheads last winter, and I only remember one really snowy weekend in Newcastle, so lets hope for lots..... except when I am flying out of Newcastle airport to Geneva when I want no snow, rain, fog to screw Easyjet up!

Hope there is plenty of snow this year in N Wales. There has been some great days out and around the Horseshoe Pass the last few Winters. This Winter i want to try some snow kiting to. For now i will have to wait and see what happens over the next few months and i just hope it doesnt snow in Jan when i go to the Dolomites skiing.

The last weather forecast company we discussed somewhere on this forum predicted a cold spell starting Noember 26/27. So what happened to that?
This lot are clearly predicting a White Christmas. Have you all put some money on it? I'm not going to coz I think this site is a Ladbrokes front wanting us all to fork out lots of fivers when they know full well it will rain on Christmas Day in London like it always does.
Keep your money and spend it on Aunty Lelly instead.

The Guardian reports today that huge flocks of waxwings - exotic crested birds from Siberia - have swept across Scotland, prompting further speculation of an icy winter.
Their report weighs up the various long-term predictions

Snowbird, you wouldn't be a waxwing from Siberia would you? The first across the border?
