The NOA Doth Blow...
 

...And we shall have snow. And what will the Robin do then, poor thing?

I mentioned a couple of days ago that the Met Office has issued a warning to Emergency Planners of a severely cold winter ahead.

I was shocked to read this in the Times this morning...

Time to stock up for winter, I think

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Oh no!!!! I hate the cold. I'm running off to find some new, wooly jumpers now, just in case we run out of gas. :(

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

I'll believe it when i see it, looks like the government scare mongering again.

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

That article roughly translates to "expect huge energy price increases in the next month"

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

British Gas have already hiked there's up, just watch others follow suit!!

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Trust it to happen this year when I will be due to take my driving test.............:rolleyes:

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Well, let's look on the bright side eh.....? maybe if we get some really cold snaps it will kill off the bird flu virus that is supposed to be bearing down on us.

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Oh well looks like ginger has fitted the open fire just in time:D .


Should be damn warm in my house with that banging out heat!!!!!:rolleyes:

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Just found this on the MET office site.............................................. ...................................


A southwest then westerly flow will lead to well above average temperatures for most parts during the next 30 days. Amounts of rainfall will be above average in the northwest until mid month, with near average rainfall in the southeast. Above average rainfall is expected to affect England and Wales as well from mid month onwards. During the second half of the month the other feature is the wind, increasing to gale or severe gale force across many northern areas. The weather looks like quietening down at the end of October into November, especially across England and Wales. Temperatures are likely to stay above average, the rainfall dropping back to near average in most parts.

Oh blaming 'eck!!!!! No wonder its cold today & set to get worse .....hugging fire time me thinks:) LOL good job i bought me a new stanley fleece scarf to keep me warm :)

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Oh well the kids will be chuffed with snow & least our grit bucket is nearby - thats if theres any left after kids messing with it LOL

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

I think I will go with the element of surprise and just wait and see what this winter holds! How often have these long term forecasts been right?? In fact how often have the short term forecasts been correct???

Whatever happens, there is always something weather wise that causes havoc here so not expecting any different this year :rolleyes:

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Is that the surprise of 6ft of snow drifted up your door & cant find a shovel pmsl:D

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Damn you spoilt your surprise now!!!!! ;)

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Well my pine cone says it's going to be mild, damp and wet, and is usually more accurate than the Met's long term forecast.:)

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Pine cone????? mmm a new Micheal Fish LOL

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Well I hope it snows I am a big kid at heart and should it happen I will be estatic.:Banane47:

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

I like the snow too. It only snowed once in London in 17 years, and in the three winters I had in Scotland I never so any white stuff at all.

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

one tiny hint of snow & ice and THEY cancel your test!!

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

I also love snow.............. to look at!! But hate driving or walking in the slush. What I do like walking in is the brand new fluffy snow, making the first footprint. ok now thats my confession on what gets me excited ...but I'm sure that should be on another thread!!!! ;) haha

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

PMSL ahhhhhh a nice idea LOL confessions of accyweb :eek:

Yeh watching it fall when im nicely inside & warm:D

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

We love the stuff!!! Hope we get tons!!! You'll see us and the Simon household out and about playing in the stuff..

GET YOUR SLEDGES READY OVER THE ROAD!!!

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

It snowed overnight & i still had to do a driving lesson in the flaming snow & ice i was crappin meself even some taxi drivers wouldnt risk it LOL, tho was white knuckling on a steep downward road in Blackburn though :eek:

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

PMSL Romps can just imagine you all having sledge races - the worse one ever ive done was down the golden eagle on top of coppice erm on bin liners & went smack bang into a tree lol

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Good on ya Mel!!! i did the Eagle on a for sale sign!! it was ace, i do remember a lot of trees though lol

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

LOL Wingy i was young then & was a dare, i seem to remember the tree right up close luckily it was a fir tree or it would of hurt more though yeh it was a little exciting though i was worried we'd lose the bag at one point - see you dont need fancy sledges to sledge gee it was fast though:eek:

How was the sale sign for you Wingy ?? LOL:D

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

I'm with Willow on this one.
I hate the snow and ice.
Not to mention the wind.
Wish I was a bear then I could hibrinate for the winter.

Re: The NOA Doth Blow...
 

Coldest winter in about 10 years?Well it's not been that bad in ten years.Just as long as the gritters remember to come out like they did last year but forgot in previous years.
