corevalue Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 What a sh*t film! A long build up, and not so much as a derailment at the end! Try this one instead. A really chilling movie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy_renting Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Try this one instead. A really chilling movie.... Still no derailment, and no resultant orphans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggets Mahoney Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Still no derailment, and no resultant orphans! Plenty of orphan-generation here (Warning: includes dramatised scenes of orphan-generation)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHLpBNQ9a3g No snow though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eight Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Try this one instead. A really chilling movie.... And if that line still existed, exactly the same would have happened in the last couple of winters. The adjacent A66 is frequently closed for snow - so frequently that there is permanent infrastructure in place for dealing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've taken this faux warning as an excuse for diesel pre heaters for my car..gsm remote controlled! Or something. I just started looking for windscreen covers....but this is clearly an essential gadget. Kenlowe? Anyone got one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riedquat Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 And if that line still existed, exactly the same would have happened in the last couple of winters. The adjacent A66 is frequently closed for snow - so frequently that there is permanent infrastructure in place for dealing with it. The Stainmore line (can't see the videos at work)? Pity that one's closed, it would be quite an impressive journey, as long as you don't mind travelling over viaducts designed by the guy who designed the first Tay Bridge. Unrelated to snow, space weather this time, I read a bit about a signalman on that line on night shift watching the northern lights, and them sending all the instruments in his signal box crazy.

Freeholder Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/ssn_HadCET_mean.txt The Central England Temperature record is the longest running instrumental temperature record there is. See link for data. January February March average oC. 2010 2.4 1963 -0.3 the coldest since 1740 -0.4 coldest ever 1684 -1.2 I might get around to pasting the numbers into excel and calculating the average.

Freeholder Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The period I was thinking of was more like Nov/Dec '10 Jan '11. Have a link to the downloads page. I am having a problem with some of these data sets because of my old version of office.

Mrs Bear Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Who takes much notice of long term forecasts anyway? Nobody forecast the best summer for ages, not that I'm aware. Re winters, I find it best to work on the basis that we live in Northern Europe and that winters are likely to be cold, or very cold. If they then turn out mild, it's a bonus.

People who went out and bought stuff in the expectation of "record breaking snow" in November would have every right to feel chisled. Dry made it feel milder than it was imo, after a normal September and a very mild October (+1.7 c above average) I reckon November was pretty close to average, the Met office hasn't released the November stats yet. This week feels pretty mild too, but again you look at the temperatures and we are at average and plunging below by the end of the week. This calm windless dry weather always feels a lot milder than it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
