Monday 15th of November last year was the date the first real thread appeared regarding the cold that appeared on the charts that was about to sweep over the country:

Quite a way to go before then, a good 4 to 5 weeks.
On another thread a week before that, the temperature had reached 18 degrees in London.
So right now, hard to know what way it will go, other than to say its getting nearer that time every day.

why are them charts dated for next week

Dont know but look at the dates and time of the posts. Not all the charts are like that.
The cold didnt get rightly going uintil about the 21st of November last year and beyond. So we're still a fair way off that point.

It's a standard problem with posting direct links to charts from these weather sites, they are continually updated so are useless unless you view them at the time of posting.

Apparently you have to post it as a picture instead

Are we in store for another snowy winter? I have heard mixed forecasts (probably unreliable) but some seem to think we could have snow by the end of October? Surely it's too early.. I can definitely feel the cold over the last few days! I, for one, welcome the snow :cool:

No snow for the end of October, unless your on a mountain in Donegal, no body really knows to be honest, If you read Mt's winter forecast you might get a better idea

is anyone else losing hope in this winter for no real reason? i know theresmore signs pointing to a cold winter than a mild one, more forecasters too but i dont know why i sort of wouldnt be surprised if it were mild this year its sort of 40:60 for me, might be normal,horrible,wet boring or may be very cold respectively.but i'll hold out hope

I'd be happy with a reasonably dry, cold, crisp winter. If it snows, that'll be a very nice bonus.
What I definitely don't want is a mild, wet, windy winter.
The country appears to be rotting after all this recent mild wet weather. Mould, moss and fungus appearing everywhere. It's like something out of Pirates of the Caribbean and Davy Jones.

I am starting to lose hope but I am still prepareing just in case.

Negative comments seem to stick more than positive ones. (Depending on your point of view):D

Anybody here subscribe to Weatherbell or knows any site that has copies of Joe Bastardi's blogs? Would be interested to hear his views on the coming winter.

i know so true about the negative comments if you like snow that is. there needs to be about a 9 to 1 ratio of positive to neg comments just to keep everyone hopeful:(

Doylem on dailymail forums is very good at it. I hate it when the mods finish for the day with a Doylem comment on top it will cause a lot of comments on his trolling.

Possibly some good news for snow lovers from PWS

But, despair not. Some disruptive snow there will be – most likely in December across a number of regions. There will also be some uncomfortably expensive cold, most especially in northern, central and eastern areas and particularly during December and January: Very bad co-incidence with many of the areas and communities that are feeling most acutely the current economic negativity.

The PWS forecast for last winter - hopeless.

Also the same people who predicted the 30+ degrees for our summer:rolleyes:

Long range forecasting just seems totally unreliable but hopefully they've got it right with snow this winter

I think it's way too early to start getting dissapointed, winter hasnt even started yet with 5 months of possible lamppost watching just around the corner.

The Councils for once have plenty of grit for the winter so you can be pretty much guaranteed that they won't need it. Mild winter on it's way!!

Had the car alert me for the first time that the temp hit 4c, passing roundwood this morning.
