View Full Version : Good Summer - Bad Winter ??
Well, it's doing the rounds now ...
"We've had such a good summer, the winter is bound to be a bad one".
Not so sure I agree with this, but what do you lot think?
Fortune Telling glass orbs at the ready. Is it going to be a bad one or a mild one ?
There isn't a computer in the world powerful enough to model that far ahead. There are too many variables in the global climate to be able to say one season will be a certain way because another was a certain way.
That said, my mother's arthritis has never let us down, it says we're in for lots of snow .. yay! :D

Define Bad. Is that Snow and nice crisp cold, or wet (rain) and miserable?
I like a proper winter.
Edit: yeah, yeah: define proper. I like snow and crisp cold.

Bad : Strong winds, hail, pounding rain, no brightness, wet wet and more wet, more hail, no sun

So does it ever get cold in Britain?
We can expect snow middle of December or earlier even. It won't stop till mid April. Eh. What fun.... three or four times a week getting up earlier to do some snow shoveling. (We get *lots* of snow. In fact, some times you can jump our your window on the second floor and not get hurt.)

Well I have to say that I'm not hoping for a white christmas this year.
I've got to drive to my parents on Christmas morning and that journey will be a lot more enjoyable if there is no snow.
Actually I take it back, it'll be more enjoyable if there is a lot of snow*. But my car (and us) is more likely to get there in one piece
Scarlett,
* Guess who was the only person in the office during that last lot of snow storms!

Probably not the way you would understand 'cold', no! Despite the latitude of the British Isles, we have a relatively temperate climate as we sit right in the path of the Gulf Stream, a current of warm water that comes across the Atlantic from the Gulf of Mexico.
Certain parts of the UK do get significant amounts of snow each year, but these are mainly the mountainous areas of Scotland. The rest of the country gets a little snow most years, but not too often - which means when we do get an inch of the stuff, civilisation collapses because we don't know how to handle it.

Christmas forecast headline: Bitterly cold air close by
Our initial forecast for Christmas Day this year suggests there is a possibility of a White Christmas in some parts of the UK. It looks as though the weather will turn bitterly cold during the Xmas / New Year week, and Christmas Day itself may be when the transition from milder conditions begins. However, at this stage it looks more likely that the transition to much colder conditions will occur between the 26th December and the 28th December.
