I'll be able to try out my new smock.

Then maybe the old McMurdo parka might finally be worn too.

Great!!! I'm with teepee in the mountains next week but more of a fair weather bushcrafter lol!!

 

[Shewie]

Just ordered a tipi but it won't be here next week, save some snow for me

 

[HillBill]

It says mid month before substantial snow fall. I knew you'd be happy with the news Rich

 

[greensurfingbear]

already had sleet out on the hills while I was working last week!

When you've all finished playing with it, could you please send it further south

 

[andybysea]

please let it hold off 19th-20th and 21st of Oct.Getting hitched and want all the guest travelling up and back down to get there on time,you know how a bit of snow can cause havoc in blighty.

If you believe any prediction by Jonathan Powell, late of Positive Weather Solutions now reincarnated as Vantage Weather Services, you deserve all the rain you get.

Seaweed is more accurate.

The mail and express do articles like this every year.
Its nearly October, the hills of Scotland and the North of England always get a dusting of snow towards the end of the month.

Forecasters can't get the weather right a few days ahead so I'm not getting excited about it.

I wouldn't complain if it dried up a bit though!

 

[HillBill]

Autumn did start very early this year.

While an early and prolonged proper winter would cause havoc, I'd love to see it.

And will this icy blast be blamed for the death of Diana?

I knew the Indian Summer thing was baloney...

And will this icy blast be blamed for the death of Diana?

Of course not, don't be absurd - it may be caused by asylum seekers though
