It only counts as such to them that dwell above the wall, anyone else and it'd be fighting talk!It's a real indictment of the state of our modern climate when Leeds counts as The South!
If you turned up with a dog you'd have two constant shadows varicoloured not grey - or rather the bulldog would.Never mind snowpeople, you may yet have a limping JohnnyO plus Mrs. JohnnyO & a rather charming French Bulldog arriving ! Open up that east wing, I'm not superstitious and the grey lady won't annoy us.

Rather disappointing that the obsession over cold and snow excludes some fascinating weather over the next 72 hours. This is the deepening low, not yet even formed. It is due to begin to develop in the main upper trough in mid Atlantic during tomorrow. Initially on the right hand side of the developing jet stream; the trough becomes diffluent and thus the surface feature deepens quite rapidly as it transfers across the jet to the left exit area. It is a classic wave development into a major storm, even being given its own name under the system brought in a year or two ago. It certainly has the potential to cause disruption with the winds. Snow on higher level routes on its northern flank also along with the gale or sever gale force winds. No major rainfall problems though, I would imagine, other than local surface flooding as the low does travel quite swiftly. Its actual track and depth will be interesting to watch,well it will to me.
Blowing a gale last night which I didn't see coming, wood piles blown down and a very rickety aerial on the end house made me move the car. One of the lads from up Howarth way had to tie his garden furniture down.
I thought it was Thursday for the high winds?

Some very strong winds are expected on Thursday in association with storm Doris with gusts of 60-70 mph likely, and 70-80 mph on coasts and hills. Whilst the strongest winds look to be only short-lived, damage to structures, interruptions to power supplies and widespread disruption to travel networks are likely, with a danger of injury from flying debris. Trees are also likely to be damaged or blown over. Heavy rain is also likely through Thursday as well as some snow over high ground as the system clears eastwards. These may prove additional hazards. The warning has been updated to extend the at-risk area southwards.
There is still some uncertainty about the track of storm Doris, but increasing confidence that there will be widespread disruption across parts of England and Wales.

This any good?I was looking at Explosive Cyclogenesis earlier, didn't really get it though so needs rereading - recommended links?
