2013/2014 Winter - Should we be getting ready for 'snowmageddon'?

[johnworf]

According to this article, based on past winters and other factors, this winter could be a very chilly one.

I don't understand half of the things used to predict why this may be but I'm wondering if I should start making sure we're ready for it, should it come?

It's a chilly 5.4C here and the weather station says it's going to rain. Brrr

Thanks :) taking a bit of time to cool down then.

1 deg C here just outside Glasgow

It is snowing now

O.M.G. There's actual snow on the cars outside!

BBC Weather says cold and wintry till at least mid-December.

Our actual snow has turned out to be accumulated hail. Boo, I was so excited! Cold enough though, at 1.3C, and more rain clouds around.

Its a beautiful clear morning here in Manchester- Dh had to scrape the car before he went to work.

lol regaining - hail is at least white!
Thanks for the report Seb :)
frosty down here but its 1c. Making the most of it as it looks like its going to be cold and wet tomorrow. yuk.

OYBBK, looking forward to Saturday then? Love the nc.

1 degree in the night - SE-, but a brilliant blue sky and sunny. Still too cold to go out yet with little dog so will wait a bit and hope it doesn't cloud over, just warm up .

Very excited about Saturday

I see from an 'its snowing' thread that the snow has reached lower levels in parts of scotland and also north Wales.

So forecast not too far off. I suspect the Brecon Beacons will get some. Perhaps some of the SW Moors.

We were down to 1C at 7.37am and we're currently at the dizzy heights of 3.4C here (Leicester)

There are some pretty scenes on the travelscotland website. In the 'Highland and Western Isles' section, the A9 Ord Ousdale North and the A835 Braemore West are both looking nice and wintry.

We had SNOW this morning. We have had SNOW on the mountains for weeks but today was proper snow. Yay.

I'm near Caernarfonshire

Yay Milly :)

As in North Wales

Can anyone explain something for me? I have a convector heater in my kitchen which has a frost protection setting. How does it work? TIA

My boys have snow up at their school which is inland and higher up than home, they will be when they get home later. We are right on the coast so just slushy sleet and lots of hail here. (South West Wales).

Cold and frosty overnight in Edinburgh. Currently 3C, blazing sunshine, with a whisper of wind... Nae snow.

Very sunny in Manchester but a very cool 4 degrees

Sugar sprinkles in Shropshire early in the morning,at one stage coming out of a beautiful blue sky.Hailstones now and it feels properly cold

Greetings from Southern Canada

we will have a 'high' of -16 today with a few flurries. It feels like -26 with the wind chill this morning.

The blizzards were interesting on Sat - shocking road conditions outside the city. Spent most of the day indoors . Hard to tell how much we got as it drifted but i'd say about 3 inches.

SE.
We had icy air today and now it is only 0. The lowest so far at this time of the day
Can't see if the sky is clear or clouded over as stars are not visible these days.

3oC here in Jersey now
