Absolutely shocked and surprised at this possibility. My goodness get them signed up to take over from Mystic Meg. Who'd have thought it, cold temperatures and maybe snow in Scotland in December, wow amazed at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Brown Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 STV weather was interesting on Wednesday. For cop26 they highlighted the drop in snowfall in Scotland over past decade. Example used was Braemar, would previously have 70 days per year of lying snow. Now down to 35 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely shocked and surprised at this possibility. They rehash the same story every November. They predicted 2 weeks ago that there was a 'chance' of snow by mid November. It's been mild as feck, I've even been working outside in a t-shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It’ll be a ‘white Christmas’ somewhere in the UK if just one snowflake falls. That, in turn, will mean that Britain has had a ‘white Christmas’. What a load of shite. 🤷🏿♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to do with the amount of days that is lying than the actual amount of snow fallen. Using Braemar in the Cairgorms gives a better picture of the reduction.

Der Kaiser Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Usual folk at my work bleating on about the news that there will be heavy snow at Christmas. The first time I gave them a short summary of the accuracy of weather forecasting was also the last. Thinking you can accurately predict the weather 6 weeks away?

Lovely summers, cold winters - temperatures that can sometimes go below zero Fahrenheit, never mind Celsius. Also, because we live about 40 miles East of Lake Michigan, we get lake effect snow (basically a bunch of extra snow that gets dumped on us that wouldn’t get if we lived a further 20 miles East). Can’t complain though. Here’s average temps in Fahrenheit (32 F = Zero Celsius, 85 F = 29.4 Celsius). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
