TheTwirler Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Interesting one this as no newspapers are on the bandwagon yet but there are a lot of indicators that this winter will be significantly colder than it was last winter. El Nino, Solar Flares, lack of powerful Atlantic hurricanes and the water temperatures in the Indian Ocean all currently point towards the Jet Stream being a lot further South. Met Offices all over the globe are all consistently starting to draw up models that indicate we'll see cold air sat 'blocking' over the UK. Of course it is too early to tell for sure, but quietly for those who know where to look all the arrows are starting to point towards snow, ice and frozen pipes. Worth keeping an eye on.

I1L2T3 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The thought of a lack of hurricanes is nice. Especially after what happened to my roof last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 100 days of snow and this country would grind to a halt. Shift the decimal point one place to the left and you'd be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo_dancer Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The thought of a lack of hurricanes is nice. Especially after what happened to my roof last winter. Agreed! We ended up forking out for a brand new roof, so the less hurricanes the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddywolf Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hurricanes & 100 days of snow, we are talking about the UK? People do blow things out of proportion. Bit of wind and about 3 inches is all I remember from the last few winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Shift the decimal point one place to the left and you'd be right. Or even two places to the left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
