  1. Yes, he put petrol on it and burnt down his neighbours hours! 0862C872-668A-4C92-ACBA-32AEEA6419A0.MOV
  2. I’m really worried for my neighbours house, their house burnt down last summer after a neighbours BBQ got out of hand. The builders despite working 7 days a week haven’t got to the stage the scaffolding can come down. Most of the roof is on but the windows aren’t in upstairs. I hope that scaffolding doesn’t collapse causing even more damage. I might have to set up a camera if is as bad as expected down here.
  3. Just driven through some light snow at Rownhams on the M27, Southampton, I didn't see that on any forecast
  4. Snowing heavily in Totton, just starting to settle well on the garden and roofs
  5. There was an excellent question and subsequent answers in the learning area, which I had missed until it was accidentally bumped yesterday. So in case anyone else hasn't spotted it, this is the link Tight pressure gradient around Greenland so why aren't the winds very strong? I have often looked at the charts and thought there must be a howling gale through Fram, but the ice barely moves, now we know what may affect it.
  6. IJIS now updated to a more respectable 84,688 increase.
  7. Ahh thank god for that, I thought you were actually talking about the ice, and not just the graph watchers. I don't think I will leave the house today, if it is that perilous out there for me! I'm glad we cleared that up :wacko:
  8. You were clearly referring to ice extent and calling a situation perilous after one partial daily update. No name calling, merely saying such statements are Alarmist and I stand by that given the evidence given in your post was only today's small increase. You would be first to criticise someone saying the problems were over after yesterdays 148,000 increase.
  9. We are unlikely to spend more than a few hours on a "30 odd thousand day" as the second update will probably increase it dramatically as they have done every day for weeks. With the largest daily increase this month recorded just yesterday ~148,000 sqm, to suddenly start calling the situation perilous after only the first update of the day is alarmist!
  10. These events you describe will have happened in the past and are not exceptional. Many 100k events past and present will have included such fragmentation and drifts.
  11. You can read the final report here: http://www.pame.is/images/stories/PDF_Files/AMSA_2009_Report_2nd_print.pdf BEWARE!!!! It is huge, and far too much to digest at this time of night.
  12. Trying not to flog a dead horse, but I did find the numbers in this article quite surprising and obviously going to increase as it becomes financially viable to explore the region: Source: New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/17/world/europe/17arctic.html
  13. At least it was just sarcastic, I got insulting replies when I posted about it. Apparently it is all about scale, and icebreakers are so insignificant to the scale that they are irrelevant. So using the same logic, all data that was gathered whilst aboard an icebreaker, is equally insignificant to the scale and irrelevant, good bye Dr Barbers rotten Ice.
  14. Now updated to a more respectable 58,594km2 increase, taking us over 5,100,000km2
  15. It appears this increase has been revised again to a 36,718km2 increase. It appears that at the moment it isn't worth looking at the daily figures until the second pass has been updated, I am not sure what is causing these large revisions, but would be interested to find out. Steve
