  1. I prefer the parallel version of things. I know it only shows temps on there but you can get a good idea of what is probably happening.
  2. I wont pretend to know how it interprets the data but wouldn't it show a reversal if the PV temporarily shifted well off the pole before shifting back closer to it again? I always thought a full reversal is literally a reversal other than the odd mini core here and there? Wouldn't it therefor get confused if the PV was away from the pole interpreting the data as a reversal even though its just a shift?
  3. Im using a really naff tablet to view this but on here that looks like a displaced Strat PV towards scandinavia, although I expect its rather weak. I cant see much on here though!
  4. Oh dear, I think you are missing the point! The charts are looking just how you would expect given the state of the strat, it wont be until about 2 weeks from now (possibly a little longer) when we should start to see the effects of the fairly decent warming that is forecast towards next week. I am only a lurker in this thread but I had to say something then!
  5. It started ok but it got more and more......"warm" as time went on! The seas were almost 4'c warmer than normal for a few weeks (mainly the English Channel) but in 2010 they were around 4'c colder than normal. It annoyed me because they didn't say that they were briefly 4'c warmer and then slowly slipped closer to average (although 1-2'c above still for a time). Like a lot of weather and climate related programs on tv now they neglect to show the "other side' and that things are quite well balanced out ie. if somewhere is warmer than average, another place is colder than average etc, and this is what peees me off
  6. I don't think I can handle not seeing snow again this year. I have never seen a winter with no snow falling up on the highest hills here.....did that make sense? I think over the next few weeks the back side of some cold fronts may produce a bit of wintriness on the hills here, a bit IMBY-ish I know but its lonely on this lil island!
  7. On the 26th/27th Feb 1996 a Low was sat just north of Scotland and we had a SW airflow over the UK with plenty of snow showers. Even down here on the IOW the showers were snow up on the hills. The uppers were -4'c to -6'c in general. Ok not quite what you asked but it was a proper SW flow
  8. It isn't looking too good for Saturday really. If anything kicks off here I would expect it to be overnight on Friday and maybe into the morning on Saturday. Any time between 6pm and 9am could possibly see something.........possibly!
  9. OK, for those who are saying its a downgrade, this chart was cold enough to bring snow to the isle of wight and look at the uppers I know its getting later in the season but under cloud cover and precipitation there wouldn't be much difference at the surface with cold dry continental air.
  10. The reason is because the wind in Portsmouth was coming straight off the sea (SSE) but on the IOW only the South, Southwest and right on beach on the East coast had an onshore wind, so away from those areas the wind had traveled over at least 5 miles of land and was therefor much colder, so places such as Ryde, Wootton, Brading, Cowes, even Newport saw snow but Niton, Ventnor (near sea level) Compton, Freshwater all saw only rain with a few blobs of sleet. Even Sandown only saw sleety bits whilst a mile up the road in Shanklin had snow.
  11. Had about an hour of snow falling here in Shanklin, it was even quite heavy for a while (please forgive the video quality) There was a little more on the hillier parts of Ventnor.
  12. Just had my second shower of soft hail and snow with some pretty big flakes on the front and rear edges of the most recent shower
  13. Rain here on the IOW east coast with a temp of 5'c but it has now turned to snow on the west side of the island, and Brighstone down is getting a good covering once again! It is also snowing just west of Newport too.
