Is winter going to fight back this week?

One of the models shows winter returning next weekend, with widespread very cold temperatures and I'm afraid to say - snow for some (not just Scotland)

Of course next weekend is a long way off weather wise but the potential is there.
In the mean time quite a bit of sunshine on and off through this week but sharp frosts right down through to the south where any cloud lifts.

Shock

But thanks for the heads up.

I can't hear you!

Winter has been going on too long

winterpetunia · 06/03/2011 11:04

I saw this, I saw this too! It was on TheWeatherOutlook's homepage yesterday but thought it couldn't possibly be right because Spring is supposed to be coming, isn't it?!

mankyscotslass · 06/03/2011 11:12

Just checked Metcheck, it's usually good for a laugh. Grin

We have snow here Thursday night, most of Friday, and heavy snow Saturday.....Hmm

Hopwful but sceptical is my stance!

nikki1978 · 06/03/2011 11:16

Is the next Ice Age coming or something? We seem to get a month or two of spring/summer and then it is cold and rainy again :(

That's it I am emigrating!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/03/2011 12:09

does seem that way nikki. take last year - snow in March and then again in November. Only 7 months in in between.

rubbish for gardening at the moment.

And that's why I'm going to take advantage of the sun that's just come out and go and dig the garden! I might even be really reckless and cut the grass!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/03/2011 12:29

Good plan Petunia! I'm going to be doing a bit of digging later in the week - spread the compost about and then cover with plastic until it warms up a bit.#

grass def doesnt need cutting here though!

The blossom and the camellia are about to flower and it's too cold to enjoy them, bah!

StealthPolarBear · 06/03/2011 12:36

ohhh it feels like spring here today
sick of the snow, if I never saw a snowflake again it would be too soon

Aimsmum · 06/03/2011 13:13

Bah, I hate the snow!
Not too surprised tho, it's my birthday tomorrow, and it often snows on my birthday...or more likely on the weekend closest to by birthday making it a pita to go out! Grin

winterpetunia · 06/03/2011 16:43

Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Aimsmum!

Right ~ garden dug, grass mowed and me done in! That's my exercise done for the week day!

bigTillyMint · 06/03/2011 16:45

Weather looks OK down here on the BBC - sunny even!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/03/2011 19:06

as I said Tilly - quite sunny through this week even though there will be sharp frosts. It is the weekend I'm keeping an eye on.

bigTillyMint · 06/03/2011 19:07

Sorry!

It always seems to be cold on the weekend Sad!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/03/2011 19:51

oh gosh, don't be sorry. I'm sorry if I came across as grumpy, I'm a bit tetchy today.
It does doesnt it. even though todays sun was gorgeous, it was so cold. brrrr.

is metcheck any good? it has us down for snow from the 13th

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/03/2011 20:36

metcheck uses a computer generated input without any human input so it often says things that wouldnt really happen in real life. Fantastic as computer models are, they still need a good dollop of common sense added in. It could be right though, depending on where you are.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/03/2011 10:59

Today's gfs backs away from this very cold solution just a little. However there are still strong signs of a cold and wintry time ahead I feel.

OP posts:
winterpetunia · 07/03/2011 11:06

Was just coming on to ask how it was looking for the weekend! Someone on metmonkey thought that it was all looking a bit of a mishmash for next weekend now.

Fimbo · 07/03/2011 11:11

Happy birthday Aimsmum! Grin

It's only 4 weeks until the Easter holidays please please horrid nasty weather go away. Mind you today is quite pleasant not quite as cold as it has been. Have been out deheading old lavender.

Katz · 07/03/2011 13:40

snow gone for us next week now on metcheck but its going to be cold!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 09/03/2011 08:46
