Lomond Snowstorm's 2011/12 Winter Forecast

Posted by LomondSnowstorm, 26 November 2011 · 1,163 views

I perhaps left this forecast a bit late, to the point that it coincides with the Netweather one, but I felt it was worth doing one anyway even if it overlaps with much of what others are saying. I'll have a look at the factors to consider, then summarise each individual month, both in terms of the general pattern and for Scotland in...

The Potential Sleety Breakdown/ Blizzard Of The Decade/ Somewhere In Between Of Boxing Day 2010

Posted by LomondSnowstorm, 23 December 2010 · 158 views

After a week where temperatures of -2C have been regarded as a slight warm up for most of us and where snow cover still lies thick on the trees days after its initial fall, the old adage of all good things must come to an end enters the fray. It should have been plainly evident to anyone who has lived in this country for more than two years that...

Christmas Forecast 2010

Posted by LomondSnowstorm, 19 December 2010 · 216 views

This is my first blog of the 2010/2011 winter, and so far we've had over 2 foot of snow falling. But that means nothing if Christmas is a slushy washout, right?
Well perhaps that's an exaggeration but a white Christmas really would top this month off very nicely. Of course there are three types of white christmas. There's the met...

weather, interest, 2005 easterly

I was having a tidy up the other day in my room when I stumbled across a few printoffs from 2005, when I was eleven. It was, unsurprisingly to most on the forum, a five day weather forecast by the BBC and STV from the 2005 Boxing Day easterly. The date printed? Christmas Eve. It was at that moment that I realised just how obsessed I had become...

Well the date that has been bandied about for weeks now on the model thread is almost upon us - the 8th February. Comments like 'we'll all be buried by the 8th' or 'ignore that horrible ECM 168 chart showing southwesterlies because by the 8th there'll be an easterly' have become commonplace lately. But why the 8th? Is there...

dreich, Dundee, Fife, Scotland

Greetings!I finally got round to starting a blog so here goes....The last thirty six hours have reminded us what this part of the world is famed for - rain on and off, though usually not all that heavy, temperatures moving between 4.9C and 5.6C, and that horrible grey murk surrounding the Howe of Fife, not lowering visibillity enough to make...
