Heads up! This coming week may well bring a return of cold weather leading up to a potentially snowy weekend.

Yep, we're forecast some around the 14th... Best put the snow chains and shovel back in the boot ::) ::)

Good job I'll be putting in 5L longlife antifreeze in, when I do this cambelt, then!

No surprise surely! ::) ::) ::)
Our winters can linger right into April, with Easter being 'white' on many occasions! ;) ;)

global warming. :y :D ;D.........Im in Norn Irn at the moment and its surprisingly dry and mild over here - for a change. :)

"climate is what we expect.
weather is what we get"
this "climate change" thing is all bowlarks anyway.
the small changes to the climate we are supposedly experiencing are much less than the long term variations due the earth's orbit. [1]
I can't believe that *anything* we can do to the environment (which is a closed system), can destroy it.
we can burn as much fossil fuel as we like, we are only releasing stuff which is already in the system.
co2 causes a "greenhouse effect" - greenhouses are good for growing plants.
and the more plants that grow, the more animals there will be to eat them.
if particular species are displaced, or even made extinct (and I include humans in this) then it isn't the first time, or the last time, it will happen
now if we were bringing in a 2 trillion tonne asteroid of solid co2...
[1] the earth orbits the sun in an eclipse. the seasons are determined by axial wobble of the earth's axis.
if winter corrresponds with the perihelion of the earths orbit, we will experience a colder winter than if it occurs at the aphelion.
Add to this that it appears that the crust of the earth moves in relation to the underlying planet every 20,000 years or so.
it *appears* that the north pole was somewhere near hudson bay 12000 years ago, and siberia was temperate.
under this theory, we're still having an "ice age", it's just centred at the north pole, and antartica.
the pole moved very suddenly - hence the thousands of perfectly preserved, quick frozen mammoths under the polar ice in siberia (some still with unchewed food in their mouths).

Reading this thread you would think so! Let's all be negative! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Update:
Current thinking is that the low will be further North than previously modelled, meaning that Scotland will get the cold, while England gets quite mild. :y

it's so cold here today I've changed the readout in the car to Fahrenheit just to feel warmer :y

It's a beautiful sunny day here - clear blue sky with barely a cloud in sight, probably around 10C outside but feels much warmer in the sun with an ever so slight breeze.
Gorgeous weather.. hopefully it won't rain as much as forecast on Saturday so I don't get soaked through working outside.

Yep, looks like Scotland and North East England (and possibly N. Ireland) will see the white stuff. Warnings are out!
