Beast from the East?

[JJPHG]

Just  a heads up.  Models are trying to push for the development of a sustained Easterly next week.  Might be worth keeping an eye on the forecasts over the next few days and make preparations accodingly

[Jonkx]

Its those clever models again.

[matty40s]

From the weekend, especially up Norf, in fact Scotland keeps the snow most of this week too.

Coal burns better, get lots of Towpath Telegraphs too, for lighting fires and wiping arse when bog paper runs out.

It will only be a gentle breeze and a shower, nothing compared to a pandemic, and the boat is already full to bursting with bog rolls and tins of baked beenz, (and beer) ?

 

We are in Yorkshire, have been frozen in on and off for a month now, can't get any worse?????

No. It's starting to melt now. Snow has turned to rain and the lying snow is melting quickly.

My family just south of the border in nsw says it’s the usual February temperature, and are not planning on lighting the fire til August. Maybe.

Have you done as I have many times and side swiped on the weather app, to exclaim it’s going to be 23 degrees tomorrow, only to realise you have the weather for Warragul not Northampton.

No evidence of beast from east here it’s 11 degrees. ( or is that Warragul at night)

4+ inches of snow in Hebden Bridge, and it is melting, but not quickly.

[mrsmelly]

Warm and sunny here believe it or not.

Disappointed as I'm in the East but no sign of the beast...

[ditchcrawler]

Sun is shining now and its time for a walk

To 'translate' "Beast from the East", normal winter weather.

Likewise in this part of Norfolk, hazy sunshine, light breeze and quite mild, though colder weather is promised (?) in a couple of days' time.

I popped over to have a look at the net weather forums and it looks like it's becoming less likely or have I misinterpreted the uber geekery, because let's be honest they speak a completely different language to me

He he, that's what you get for looking at a single days run....

[Sea Dog]

There's always a "Beast from the East" coming, or so it seems. We should do 2 things: firstly, give it a name that's not so evocative and is more difficult to spell in order to curb overuse of the headline; secondly, take seaman-like precautions, me hearties, so you're not caught out on the rare occasion these cries of "weather bomb" turn out to be true.

A 'crisis' or two keeps us all on our feet, makes the world go around. 

[MHS]

We’ve used our daily exercise to prepare for the onslaught of the next ice-age. We walked to the the nearby Premier store to buy biscuits & Yellow Tail Jammy Red Roo. If we get snowed in, at least we will be happy.

The wind here has gone round by 180 deg today, due East when I got up and now Due West

3 hrs in the sun on the bike then an hours walk. The only beast a white convertible Audi the ‘driver’ of decided she wanted all the road.
