Au contraire, mon cherie...

Offensive French grammar!

Either 'ma chérie' or 'mon chéri' svp...

Unless GTIR is a shemale?

You should know. Remember the "reach around"? You said it felt like it went all the way through.

Anyway. Schmalex. I'm sure you've done some selective quoting.

Still here. Just. Been snowing on an off all morning, but it's not settling (wrong type of snow!)

Could be some snow on the hills in Lancs later today!

Models are showing potential for a cold spell as we enter January, but no promises.

Interestingly central Siberia has also been suffering a lack of cold/snow for the first time in living memory!

Hope so, purchased winter tyres this year as I missed 5 days of work due to snow and the drifts that come with them. Got pictures if anyones interested.

I will take a frosty Christmas morning right now. Not feeling the driving wind and rain, it's not very festive!

Good, no more cracking photos to make us regret our lives as drones in the SE

'Hoping' for snow?

Who arranged last night's weather? Some vicious squall set off car alarms around midnight, this morning the dog walk was curtailed by flooding in the valley (not to mention the waterlogged lawn), but at the same time the car windscreens are frosted over!

Please sort it out pronto.

The Christmas Day storm is going to be much worse than last nights...

But they have it in Turkey and the Middle East! Wierd

Will we be getting the frosting effect afterwards? It's the oddness of mucho rain followed by a frost that's like the weather god's taking the pee, frankly.

[J4CKO]

Had to listen to American colleagues all moaning about the snow on a conference call the other day, oh do fk off !

[Puggit]

From last night's storm:

Strongest high elev gusts from UK storm: 109mph Aonach Mor, 101mph Cairngorm Mtn, 97mph Cairnwell Summit.

Strongest low elev gusts from UK storm: 94mph at Needles Point (Isle of Wight), 92mph Stornoway, 90mph S Uist, 85 mph Plymouth.

Pressure of 946mb detected by a buoy between Scotland and Iceland.

[schmalex]

The models were hinting at 920mb for the deep low inbound next week...

[Art0ir]

Hasn't crept much above 2-3oC in Belfast today but skies are clear and the sun is out. Cracking day for a drive

How does that compare to the 'super-mega-dail-mail' storm the other month?
