South East & East Anglia Regional Snow Depth Cup - Winter 2013/14

[Jan_Bromley]

Not a flake, not even any graupel

 

I think that all of our expectations are somewhat heightened by previous years of the white stuff.

 

Feeling very cheated though

[Mrsf16]

Went up to Edinburgh this weekend... didn't even get any snow up there so little chance down here!

[scotteboi]

Just to put the mockers on any snow whatsoever this winter, can I join the measuring team on behalf of Braintree (who's snowshield is that good it seems to be covering the whole of the country for the whole of winter up until now!)

 

Perhaps we should start a rain depth cup (or bucket!)

Just to cheer everyone up, is there any way I can get the accumulated rainfall since Christmas (tried the MetO - no dice) and turn it into snow depth?

 

Isn't 1cm rain = 1 metre of snow

 

Got a feeling it would be over my husband's head (he's 6 foot) by now... Well we can dream

Think 1cm rain would equal 10 cm of snow Shoulda taken a picture of the hail yesterday Woulda had this sewn up by now.

Well at least all the stirling work done by Kentish cz and others won't be wasted, we can just rename the thread to 2014/15 and lock it until October ;-)

[Tim Bland]

Had completely forgotten about this....I wonder why lol. I agree .. Save it for next year !

[snowbob]

Second that fellas

Great work

So far still joint champion

For two years running now

Lol

[Snowangel-MK]

Tumbleweed is about right.....no chance of any snow rollers here ....

[Iceni]

Now then, on fees, I note I am still awaiting payment for my previous work and whilst one doesn't like to bring up the subject of money (cash, lucre, folding, readies, whatever you want to call it) but this year it is 'sue one, get one free' so I'm sure you'll see your way to putting me in funds old chaps?  Plus the £1000 for this piece of work (Copyright Law, dashed complicated and hence, I am sorry to say, rather expensive)

Oh yesss! This brings it all back to me - my days as a freelancer.

 

One company had owed me £725.00 for work carried out the previous August 1991 - as I had to fly to New York in April 1992 in a week, my brilliant old Dad went and sat in their reception for 3 hours, waiting for their managing director to sign the cheque in payment. He wouldn't shift even thought the receptionist was getting rather annoyed - but I got my money.

 

Meanwhile back at the (soggy, grey, miserable) ranch... here is what Jewel Lake looks like at 8:52 am right now their time (temperature -12C).

 

Jewel Lake is in British Colombia Canada and God willing I'm going to be living there in the few years. enjoy.

Just a thought, I woke up to wet snow Thursday morning, just on the car, not much but it was there, does that count?

We would need to send one our an inspector around, he can come a week Thursday as he is in the USA at the moment, is that OK

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Just cant see any way of getting a cold blast now. Its as if someone has gone to screwfix and drilled the PV down! Just has not moved all winter. And with the US being buried in snow and causing a great temperature contrast with the warm gulf air exiting into the Atlantic, it is just going to spin up low after low after low after low after low after low after low.... I could go on forever!

Out of our area but if you want to see the river levels on the River Seven, this is a very good sight.

Quite so. Here's my future home this morning...

 

 

-17C - lovely. And for extra fun Neil Young and Crazy Horse are playing Hyde Park this summer.... he's from Canada too.

[Summer of 76]

Think everyone is starting to posting in the wrong thread, I need to close at 7.10pm to get down the MK snow dome for a fix of winter

Mmm interesting, but after enforcing the -1 cm handicap for one of the most northerly locations in the region, sorry no deal! 

 

That was Chris's rule, sorry!

 

Tom.

[Captain Shortwave]

First year I entered the snow cup so my bad for driving all the snow away

On the other hand it means everyone is a winner!

bugger :lol:

[Fat Bloke]

so with so called winter nearly over is the snow cup being chaNged for rain?  which would be more fair as even florida beats us for snow being recorded.This would be my first year i can remember for not one snowflake.Unless it's going to be the spring cup as it more looks like spring again for snow....

[Snowangel-MK]

I've got some lovely snowdrops in my garden do they count - I think they are about 6cm :-)

Sorry I will have to refer you to the gardening thread as per rule 12.6.1.3 revised global warming page 100.99f

[Bogman]

Well, there could be some movement in this comp come Friday evening.

[lassie23]

Sounds like the snow could be a non event for London as usual, but better north of Watford. What's north of Watford, never ventured that far into the wilderness?
