UK Winter Forecast 2010/2011 Update

I have had a stream of questions in relation to the amount of snowfall that we are likely to receive in the UK this coming winter.  As previously stated freezing temperatures will be the main concern, however heavy snowfall is also plausible as another major issue that we are facing due to the extra cloud cover and cooling that is generally produced during low solar activity. We must also consider the establishing La Nina as this is generally influential to the UK in terms of the change in global weather patterns, locations that tend to be wet will become wetter. We currently experience an ample amount of wet weather in the UK, so it would be adequate to expect even more precipitation.  More precipitation during freezing temperatures with the increased cloud cover from low sunspot activity = HEAVY SNOWFALL!

  1. I hope we get a LOT of snow this winter! You make good strong valid points Weathergeek, I'm really looking forward to this winter now with great anticipation!

  2. I don't see the logic in the 'hope it snows' club
    Be careful what you wish for

    This is serious stuff
    Keep up your research Weathergeek

  3. Hello from the NW USA, specifically Portland, Oregon. I back up everything you have said!! Your research is VERY SOLID! I myself have done several months of investigation that eventually led me to you site and videos. We here in the NW share your concerns, and have heard dire predictions from various sources, even Joe Bastardi. What peaks my interest is the correlation of the gulf stream conveyer belt breakdown, and many bad omens like the sudden dip into La nina, sunspot inactivity, PDO shift to negative, and arctic volcano activity. I hope to keep in contact with you as I think that our concerns are very much the same. Please email me at your convenience at: grslocum@hotmail.com

    Again thanks, a fellow weather geek.

  4. PS. I think that Joe Bastardi, after your email, "may" have used some of your info about global cooling and volcanic event in his winter weather predictions. Not sure, just a curious weather observer...

  5. Hi weathergeek! Firstly I admire your work and share your keen interest for meteorology even although i'm only 18. I live in a town called Shotts which is in the middle of the central belt of Scotland and we had 32 consecutive days of snow on the ground usually at a depth of 4 inches upwards. I too am desperate for another severe winter, however I think last winter was pretty exceptional in my area and I find it hard to believe that it will be topped or even equalled this year. Do you think it is a realistic possibility that, considering my location, we will see frequent and heavy snowfalls again this year???

  6. Yes heavy snowfall is a realistic possibilty as outlined due to the above factors, however the main concern is with the temperatures that we will experience.

  7. My god i love snow as a child i would sit and watch it fall,from the sky with amazment and still do.But after last year and weathergeeks forcast i'am scared.this winter could be the one that breaks this counry,hardly no gas last year,no gritt, public sector workers on strike, oh happy days

  8. Heavy snow last year we had 12 inches,from the 18 December till mid feb there was snow on the ground.temps of -16,my parents were house bound for weeks.If this winter is as bad or worse it will be scary,the country as a whole nearly ran out of gas,all we need are the council workers to go on strike,then we will all be in the sh1t

  9. aww I seee. So what kind of minima are we looking at?? We had many nights of -17,-18 degrees celsius last winter. Is that what's to be expected again??

  10. Weather geek congratulations on your research again, I have just reissued your work from you tube. If you'd like to join in on our blog, and talk more about your research, you are more than welcome. Our tv met Mark Nelsen read the reposting of your info and actually mentioned it on the air!!! He also talks about it on todays blog post, he does a new one every week day.

  11. I guess you guys in the UK needs to start getting prepared for cold. Severe winters are no problem if you're prepared. I live in central Sweden, and here we get heavy snowfall every winter, and it's great, I love snow. Last year was unusually cold and the temp was constantly below freezing from late december to mid march, and it regularly approached -25 degrees celcius. And as for snow, well it went over your knees where they had not ploughed. I could still go skiing in mid April :) Welcome to my world.

  12. As the data seems to prove that we are heading, or diving directly into an ice age it beggars belief how the "establishment" tries to continue with the lies on global warming.
    When the thermosphere comes down to pay London a visit perhaps, if any one survives we can tell them we told you so.

    I'd like to know what the actual risk is, time frame, based on ocean temp, desalination levels, sun activity, stalling of the thermohaline circulation, stopping of the gulf stream, debris in the atmosphere... The list goes on, and so do the lies.

    Any one have anything more than a suggestion?

  13. Add to the significance of deep solar quiet and the attendant moisture enrichment of the atmosphere (Svensmark), an added bump from increased sub oceanic and surface volcanic activity. An estimated 3 million sites under water have been warming those waters and that leads to more moisture in the air, plus (after an 800 year lag) increased CO2. The CO2 means nothing. The moisture hits that cooler sky (solar reflectivity increased by volcanic activity) and parts of the earth see lots of precipitation increase.
    It seems like a new super volcano has been stirring a bit every other week. Someday we will know it's not coincidence. I think we are seeing the exact way an epoch of glaciation begins through completely natural cycles.
