Re: Little for cold weather fans yet.

The charts to 10 days (and beyond) look to bring a constant stream of
wet and at times, windy weather to the UK. Very Atlantic sourced and
if the ECM at T240 is to be believed, that influence is not set to
weaken. We could end up looking at a typical UK winter (OK, I know
it's only late November) zonal set-up in 10 days, with high pressure
to our south and a string of depressions heading NE, passing to the
north of the UK and heading to oblivion over the White Sea. That won't
please the Internet majority, should it happen and the snow brigade
are going to have to be patient. Apart from the odd cooler lee
northerly, giving snow over the higher hills, I see little for snow
fans into the last third of November. Nothing in the way of settled
weather and bright sunshine either.

Rain lovers and ducks are in for a great time 8- (

Maybe the weekend storms will provide some more exciting weather than
the dark, drizzly clag we have this morning!

PS Don't worry. It will snow, for most, at some time before spring -
then we'll probably get our snowiest weather of all!


That must be the earliest occurrence of somebody calling the end of winter
in the history of this newsgroup!
