Swanny17 Posted February 20, 2018 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
William H. Bonney Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 As low as -2. How ever will we cope.
Rab87 Posted February 21, 2018 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.

redjambo Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I thought that weather systems didn't really exist these days until we gave them an official name like Henry or Jemima.

Hømme Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Looks like a cold one for Germany, Poland and the likes.

Rab87 Posted February 21, 2018 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.
Hømme Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 It hit -22 in Krakow a few years ago when i was there. Glad i packed the gloves that trip.
...a bit disco Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 This sort of thing fills me with apprehension now I've turned 50.

Look after your elders, people. Stay warm. Mental, I'm moving back on the 28th, stepdads 71st is on the 4th
theshed Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Going by BBC’s weather it’s saying sunny during the day and -3 at night...no big deal and sunny days are good
Victorian Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Ah. I assumed this WAS about the unspeakable one.
Peebo Posted February 21, 2018 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).
Rab87 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 This is showing no signs of letting up. in fact, it seems to be getting worse. I expect a good foot of snow across much of the UK by the end of next week. The below is just for Tuesday.

AlimOzturk Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Suppose I'll retire from the busking for a week.

This week has been nice weather wise, cold but nice during the day I’d be shocked if there was a foot of snow in Edinburgh next week
Rab87 Posted February 23, 2018 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.
Rab87 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 49 minutes ago, Barack said: Was actually meaning Sunday, with the SC at Motherwell. But, let’s see if this materialises first. 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.
Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Will the American networks lead with this story, as ours do whenever it gets a bit windy over there?

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.

Debut 4 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Just caught a signal to post as I'm 300 feet down in anticipation of forthcoming ice age. Just met Doug McLure still paggering dinosaurs.
kingantti1874 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Read a post online saying the weather model is virtually identical to the one from January 63.. And some of the values have only been recorded 3 times in history
Pennywise Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Working in West Linton next week. Always freezing, should be fun!

The forecast for Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday is not looking that good for here in the Borders. Wife is working all this week, and if the weather is as bad as is being predicted, then I'd not be surprised if she has to sleep at the Hospital overnight, being unable to make it back home, which has happened before, either that and if it's bad enough Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team is drafted in to transport them into work.
