With winter approaching its seems the computer models have realised this and
started playing games again.After showing a major cold blast for next week
the last few days they have all back tracked this evening,cant say i am
surprised!!

Amazing really despite all this advance in computer power it seems after 4
days ahead the accuracy is no better than it was 10-15 years ago.


Glad to hear it, cold weather and snow in October doesn't usually bring
a cold winter, I can think of 1974 when a lot of places had a cold
October with snow and frost but the following Winter was one of the
warmest on record!
I'd like to see a warm and mostly dry October followed by a wet November
then maybe we will get something closer to a proper Winter.
