Guest51810 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 At one point I thought we were going to get a bad winter.. Just because we haven't had one in a while but I think it's going to be a mild wet one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My response to your title was 'what winter weather?' - not winter yet though! I do hope we get some decent snow like last year On the other hand my friend in Perth posted a picture of her glass table smashed by the force of rain (she thinks) and another of the damage lightening had caused to her house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 North Perth had big hailstones again I heard. They live Hammi Hill, unless they've moved in the past year! Hailstones seems more likely than rain though. It shattered into millions of pieces as safety glass does, they'll be finding it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good to me, but I am a 'flat earther!' Even if climate change is a fact, the 'square-earthers' can't have it both ways, blaming both mega hot and mega cold weather on climate change. Did you see those ferocious storms in the US? Cars buried in snow? Nobody had even thought of climate change when we had that Aussie-style summer back in 1976.

Just because we haven't had one in a while but I think it's going to be a mild wet one Mild and wet have seemed to be the norm the last few years, preferred cold and crisp myself last winter was horrible constant rain in January did my head in.

Man made climate change means there will be more abnormal cold and hot events but I'm sure you know that and you're just leg puling eh Dave.......

Guest51810 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Wasn't '64 a big winter down South? Well since I was born in 1990 I wouldn't really know that.. I don't even know what the weather was like back then in Scotland. I just remember we had a really bad year when I was little, like proper blocked in by snow. Then 2010 was really bad. I'm sure 2009 was too because we lived in a different house and I remember the car being stuck there for almost a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You don't really get much anyway do you? No, but two years ago I nearly had to sleep in the car, and that night I would have paid 20 quid for chains ten times over gladly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Global warming? Certainly not a ice age haha. It's mild here too, I put my jacket on earlier but I didn't need it once I'm out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbye grey sky Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Lovely warm, sunny day today. Went to our daughter's school Xmas fair and with no wind at all people were out basking in the sunshine making the most of it as going to be grey and cold for the next few days. A real pick-me-up. Now if it can just stay dry will mow the lawn tomorrow for the final time before the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Man made climate change means there will be more abnormal cold and hot events but I'm sure you know that and you're just leg puling eh Dave....... But are they abnormally hot and cold events, or just normal weather patterns? Presumably the exceptionally cold winter which helped stop the German advance on Russia in 1941 was due to climate change, and the bitter winter in the UK in 1963, and the exceptionally hot summer in 1976 in the UK? Go back even further to when the River Thames froze enough to walk on? Normal winter, exceptional winter, or climate change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The global climate has been much hotter and much colder than today throughout its history. At the moment the knicker-twisting is based on a few short decades' figures, which is a bit like measuring the last 10 seconds of the year and predicting next year's weather on it.
