What about this weather we have been having lately. I am a big kid at heart and love it when it snows, especially at christmas time. Some how don't think there is going to be any this year. It would have been so nice...kids would have loved it and all that!
Do you have any pre-dictions for the way the weather will go in your area in 2007? If so bob in and let us know. Wonder how many of us will be wrong!
I think January will be the turning point for the North West of England. I think it will turn colder and then perhaps snow by the middle of the month...Not sure after that!

Our weather has been unseasonably warm we are having April weather in December and January. it has been in the 50's(10-15C) when it is usally around 30(-1C) It is upposed to be warmer than average due to El Nino in the Pacific Ocean ..so the weather forcasters say

It certainly is quite bizzare this weather. I hope El Nino doesn't reach land and cause any damage. We have had lots of wet weather over Christmas from the Atlantic and I must say I am not keen on continously wet weather but alas there is nothing we can do about it. I like it either hot n dry or Cold n White Not much sign of snow here but you never know things could change.

El Nino is weird soem parts of the U.S gets lots of rain some parts are real dry some parts are warmer than usual.
It is weird how currents and what happens in the Pacific ocean can affect teh weather far away from it.

It is weird how currents and what happens in the Pacific ocean can affect teh weather far away from it. I agree, it's quite interesting how the weather affects propagation. We were recently learning more about propagation on the 2E0 course. Trophospheric Ducting is quite bizzarre, we know that heat rises but when trophosperic ducting occur's it isn't ionisation that makes for long distance contacts but warm air being trapped underneath cold air. This is something I would like to know more about in the future when the exam is out of the way

Propegation is very interesting we learned alot about it in both the General and Extra , plut it to use as well.

Hi Folks, I find the current weather trends pretty worrying, with a view towards global warning. This would give the U.K. hotter drier summers and wetter winters with gale force winds . If the gulf stream which flows along the western side of Britain stops due to polar melting, we would have winters like Siberia eg -45 degrees and lots of snow. If this happens, i am moving to California lol. 73's de Den.

Eeeeeek -45 degree's. I like cold dry weather and cold snowy weather but -45 is a little too cold for me...Good idea moving to California Den but me wonder's weather the rest of the UK will have plans to move there too. Perhaps somewhere a little less crowded? Things are certainly happening and it does seem like the culpritt is global warming. Will be interesting keeping an eye on things to see how things carry on etc.

here we only have to worry about tornadoes. Some of the coastal areas have to worry about hurricanes( but you get ample warning on those) western states have wildfires( now that would scare me big time!) Califonia earthquakes( that would definetly scare me the thought of the earth opening up would scare me a lot!) then areas with volcanos then the mountainous areas with mud slides and avalanches

Hee hee we just have so much in life to worry about don't we If it's not earthquakes it's avalanches. At the moment it's just wind and rain we have to worry about so that isn't so bad. I am so glad that people get plenty of warning when hurricanes are happening but I bet it isn't that straightforward with tornadoes or is it? I imagine that they just start up and finish without much warning or indications etc.

Not so much predication or warning with tornadoes, usually you get some sort of warning though it may only be a few minutes. Unlike earthquakes that just happen!

Today weatherwise it is sunshining here but it is cold and damp. I don't think there will be any snow this week as the weather forecasters are saying it will be raining most part of the week We had hardly any of the snow that happened just before the weekend, just a smattering really.

The weather here has warmed up now. Sunny and Fine as I write this to you Wow that windchill factor certainly was low and I have never experienced them like that. I think -11C is the coldest I have experienced and boy that was cold.

I think -11C is the coldest I have experienced and boy that was cold. Your lucky it feels really cold on your face or any exposed skin when you breathe you ( if you don';t have a scarf you can feel the cold air in your nose and lungs....it is hard to explain it almost burns) The coldest you ever felt (-11C/12F) is a typical middle of winter here ....plus our summers get HOT! they can get past 100(37C) with temps in July and August in the mid 90's(32C) we definitely have distinct seasons in this part of the country. I like spring and fall best when it is around 75-80 degrees (23C-26C)

Hi, One of my jobs in the past was as a 'coldstoreman', i worked in a frozen food warehouse which was permanently kept at -30 so i know what you mean. Mind you i never caught a cold or flu working there, cos at that temperature the air is sterile. 73's de Den

I don't mind the cold...but it gets to a point where it is too cold. I hate being hot more than anything...I would take a extra cold winter over an extra hot summer any day1
