Hedgecutter Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Winter 2009 was bad but 2010 was unbelievable. Edinburgh was bombarded in late November and there was still snow on the ground in early February. Fun times but it was probably a once every 10/15/20 years event. The last three years have been mild pish. Here's hoping for some white stuff this winter, though. I was still skiing all of the runs at Glenshee March just passed. More of the same please.

FlyerTon Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Could this be the starter for the commencement of the worst winter in 31 years (so they say....) http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?tab=warnings&map=Warnings&zoom=5&lon=-3.50&lat=55.50&fcTime=1417910400®ionName=st 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) We've had a very quiet spell of weather over the last few weeks, but during this time the snow and ice has moved closer to us. Won't be long now. Some interesting comparisons. Compare early November. to the start of this month and it does look like we are next.

We may see the first call offs this football season due to frozen pitches this weekend. Edited December 4, 2014 by CityDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Cairngorms will be the first place to look and as we see from the live cams on this http://www.winterhighland.info/cams/cairngorm-mountain/ there has been a light powdering at some of the mid levels There was snow down to 700m in Glencoe 2 weeks ago and then last weekend it was 10° at 1000m with no snow anywhere. What falls on the cairngorms is an indication of nothing seeing as it can snow there 12 months a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What falls on the cairngorms is an indication of nothing seeing as it can snow there 12 months a year. Indeed nothing significant has happened yet, what I'm thinking about is a prequel to the system that will sweep through this weekend and if it will produce a significant amount of snow. There was a snow fall back in October in the Cairngorms which showed up on the map as a few white dots so I'm not making it out that what's coming is the first snowfall of this winter at least not at upper levels. The maps I put up are from NOAA and they show snowfall and sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere an indicator of sea and air temperature which give an indication whether we could be in for a mild or a hard winter, what has fallen on the mountains in the last couple of months isn't significant enough to show up bar one tiny small dot still evident in the mountains. But as it looks like just now the small front that's coming through tonight could drop a little snow at sea level in some places, getting a temperature reading of 3c at the moment probably due to the clear sky above Inverness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
