simmo Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Forecasters last night warned the entire country is set for a horror freeze which will bring brutal winds and fierce blizzards. Temperatures have already started to plunge as a swathe of cold air from the Arctic has swept across the UK in the past few days. The first long-range forecasts warn of "recordbreaking snowfall" next month. Heavy wintry showers are expected to cause widespread chaos with below-average temperatures possibly lingering until February. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/436170/Worst-winter-for-decades-Record-breaking-snow-predicted-for-November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yippee - I'm off to Perth in two weeks - let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Just for hols though, so I may get some snow chains when I get back. Don't want to get caught like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Probably would not read to much into it as in June the met office predicted a washout for the summer and it was a stunner with hardly any rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes without saying that mate, the weather predicting donkeys haven't got a clue when it comes to the weather, remember Michael Fish predicting good weather in summer and it lashed it down for 48 hours with 100mph winds, causing havoc and mass destruction up and down the UK, but somehow missed SUA.

Que Sera Sera Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/436170/Worst-winter-for-decades-Record-breaking-snow-predicted-for-November OOH worst snowfall predicted for this winter. Making me shiver just thinking about it. Hope it's not too disruptive. Everyone likes a bit of snow but not when the whole country grinds to a halt :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolbox Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Here we go again :rolleyes: some so called weather expert comes out with this before every winter in the uk......no doubt the same ones that have been predicting a long hot summer since 76. Considering they have trouble telling us what going to happen next week, Id take any long term predictions with a pinch of salt.....weather patterns can change so quickly.

flag of convenience Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Aussie set for scorching summer....Sydney in parts has already been on fire. Put the house on lock down and as dark as possible to keep that dreaded heat at bay. With resolve folk we'll survive it. Those lucky folk over in UK seem to be having a cool patch.. How lucky are they? Remember the old slogan it's never too cold, just the wrong clothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I don't listen to it untill its actually on the tv and even then... There's been a few times there's been some big paper article that says we'll be buried under snow and then the met office say on twitter they didn't even say it. Then I saw one going around on facebook and it was from 2008 or something like that and they hadn't even noticed! I'm going to buy decent shoes with a grip though and lots of thermal socks just incase! Last thing I need is falling and breaking a bone again!

Guest51810 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I love a bit of snow at certain times like at christmas (as long as its not too much). It looks so pretty when its all clean and new and your home and don't have to go out for the night. I just hate it when you get stuck in it! Will be funny to see what Rascal makes of it this year when he sees it for the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
