I don't believe a word of what anyone says on here until i read it on the front of the Express

This would seem to go directly against the Met Office message of early winter being colder. It does offer a colder second half though.

I'd put that down to the blocking being in slightly the wrong place at the moment. The talk of a SSW is very encouraging though. To issue a word of caution though, all these encouraging signs are worth nothing if they don't convert into synoptic patterns. A SSW plus a weak polar vortex plus northerly blocking and massive plunges of polar air into mid latitudes still could deliver a mild winter, as we've seen many occasions in the past with snow in Athens and even as far as Isreal whilst we sit on the wrong side of the block in mild air.

I await a clear signal on the ensemble plots to show where December is likely to go.

First mini FLUMPING here yesterday. Should be a sign of things to come

They're talking about this turning into a Daily Express style winter. Probably more likely here in Toronto than in South East England.

Ignore me.

So if we do get a scenario that pans out where we do get cold air would we experience weather similar to 2009?

Seems like all the talk of SSW was somewhat premature as zonal winds reverse and potentially less negative NAO than first forecast on the horizon. Balls.

All I spout on here I've learnt from either this thread or reading material stimulated by this thread. That's why NSC is so marvellous!

Hahaha spoke to soon.

I believe Flumpage has been reported an many occasions on this thread.

 

[Djmiles]

This thread always brings back good memories. I think the first 2 winters this thread covered had some excellent flumpage!

 

[Plake]

Snow tyres on!!

Cue 3 months of tepid drizzle.

 

[Norman Potting]

"Flumpage" is a lovely word, sounds a bit woody to me.

 

[carteater]

Hahaha spoke to soon.

Models shift back to cold as soon as I say that...

FFS .

2010 and 2011. Even 2012 was OK. The last two have been shocking for lovers of snow.

2013 was pretty good as well. Then I got bored by the time it snowed in early April.

13/14
14/15
and 15/16 have been shite for snow. Although there was a little bit in January this year I think?

Unless it's usable snow, what's the point?
