I know the Met Office can't tell you what yesterdays weather was let alone tommorows!

 

BUT:

 

Delivering logs the other night; customers Wife works for Met Office in Long Range Forecasting development team...

 

According to her this winter is going to be "biblical cold". I think that means savage winter!

 

LOGS!!!

Hope so - want another cold and dry one like a couple of years ago. Proper weather for working in

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

great, lets hope my new job is offered asap! then I can stay by the puter all winter!

[Dean Lofthouse]

IMO the mild winters we have had over the last few years as seen an increase in pesky critters and diseases. We need a really good cold snap to thin em out .

 

I have not sold any logs as yet, I,m holding onto them while the new year

I don't know about the long range forecast but we have had the odd wintry shower here every day since Thursday and Mendips Logs has reported 50mm of snow today! If it's like this now and the weather patterns stay the same I see no reason to doubt a prediction for a cold winter.

global warming doesnt just mean extreme dry or heat, it also means extreme cold and I mean arctic!

 

I can remember climbing trees as a teenager in freezing temps, im too long in the tooth to be going through all that again!

[Dean Lofthouse]

Haha...I remember three double decker buses completey underneath a snow drift outside my house in the late 70s. A digger came along clearing the snow and ripped the back end out of one of them.

 

We regularly had 20ft deep snow drifts
