[OT] Winter is coming early
http://www.courier.co.uk/Worst-winte...ail/story.html
A week ago they promised us lot in Sussex torrential rain (turned out more like drizzle and the odd downpour). Then next week was going to be summer again for a week or two (18+C). Now they say it's going to be stone cold bollocky early... I will put a fiver on it being ********... It *was* weird 2 years ago - snow in mid December - which was actually pretty nice, really Christmassy. |

They sell newspapers and are usually forgotten by the time that anybody could know whether they are right. -- Colin Bignell |

For example, today was supposed to be basically a rainy day, with maybe a bright period. It was sunny all morning, turning overcast in the afternoon, but there was no rain at all. -- Davey. |

I don't trust *long term* forecasts but TBH I find both the Weather Channel and the Met Office apps on phone/tablet to be pretty good. |

I just use the sussex windsurfers website which shows the actual met office charts :- http://www.anotherharddayattheoffice...ts.html#charts Also useful are the various websites that show the jet stream like :- http://www.metcheck.com/uk/jetstream.asp |
