Swanny17 Posted February 20, 2018 No, this isn’t about a Hibs supporting former Wheel of Fortune host, but a weather system which is heading our way. Hopefully we get a cracking summer to compensate for this Winter. ? https://www.scotsman.com/news/video-beast-from-the-east-set-to-blast-scotland-with-siberian-chill-1-4692692 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rab87 Posted February 21, 2018 There is a real chance of -8 and below for Monday onwards. This is looking more certain with each forecast model that comes out every 6 hours. With that, also a real chance of the type of really heavy snow we seen a few years back. This won't be known for sure until nearer the type, but all the ingredients certainly look to be there.

Rab87 Posted February 21, 2018 These models are still a few days out, so nothing is certain for the moment. Hence why your main weather news outlets are playing it down at the moment. However, if these models hold true, we seem to be in for a cold one. It will be cold, just not sure how cold yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peebo Posted February 21, 2018 I’m currently in the world’s second coldest capital- Astana. Locals tell me it’s warmer today than it has been recently - currrently minus 11 (“feels like” minus 20), according to my phone. Not that bad, actually. It’s quite a dry cold, if that makes sense. They also told me it hit minus 45 a few weeks back (with “feels like” under minus 50). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rab87 Posted February 23, 2018 Edinburgh may not be as badly affected as other places, due to its proximity to the sea. However, it will be bitterly cold throughout the whole country. As Barack said, game may be off Tuesday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never thought about Sunday, but aye, suppose. We should not see the worst come in until Monday night though. I've been keeping an eye on this with a few meteorologists in twitter and a forum. They seem sure as hell towards the extreme temperature dip. Snow will come also, just not 100% sure as to where yet, as that is harder to predict so far out.

A simple question, no rancor just curiousity, what motivates you to go on an icy roof, freezing cold, I would assume an element of danger because of the location and the conditions you will be working in wrapped up against the cold, less mobility from that but you are still going to be out there doing it, my simple question is why.
