UK snow forecast: Coldest winter in 100 YEARS as 3-month sub-zero freeze hits Britain
BRITAIN is facing a possible three-month big-freeze amid warnings extreme Arctic conditions could see this winter leagued among the harshest of the past century.
Sub-zero air sweeping in from the Polar regions will send temperatures plummeting to -10C (14F) this month with snow threatening to blanket the nation until February. This winter could see a raft of 100-year cold and snowfall records tumble, according to some long-range predictions. Further wintry downpours are forecast later this month and through December as experts warn severe weather could hold out well into 2020.
Swathes of Britain are at risk of heavy snow with Scotland, Wales and northern England braced for crippling blizzards.
Freezing Arctic winds pushing thermometers well below-average could put the all-time low of -27.2C (-16.96F) measured in Braemar, Aberdeenshire, in 1895 and 1982 under threat.
Exacta Weather forecaster James Madden said: “It is now becoming more plausible that we could experience some type of 100-year cold or snow records being breached this winter, particularly from mid-December.
“This would be another severe winter record to go after several in the past 10 years, and as such indicates Britain’s winters are becoming colder and more prone to significant snow events.
And now – the truth:
“It is likely this pattern is intrinsically linked to low solar activity and its impact on long-term weather patterns, the oceans and the jet stream.
“It is inevitable we will suffer more extremely harsh winters in the coming years and decades with further records being broken, this will become the norm in the UK and across parts of Europe.”
For a walk down memory lane, here’s a television special starring Leonard Nimoy from the 1970’s.

Oh, gee. I was living in S. Cal. at the time. LOL I believe that was the year we decided to go to the Grand Canyon. I never paid any attention to the weather. After all, we lived in S. Cal. We didn’t get much change in weather. But, on our way to the Canyon, it started snowing. I grew alarmed, having come from the very cold (not) state of FLORIDA. He said he knew how to drive in the snow. The thing was………..it was a blizzard. We made it to the Canyon, nearly froze that night, couldn’t get a room because people had filled them up, so we drove back.
Yep, this was what we were told to expect. 🙄 The next ice age.

I want to Carson City, Nevada in late April. It was very warm in the desert, and of course cooler in Tahoe and the mountains. We set out one day for Yellowstone, only to find out we couldn’t get there because the mountain pass was closed still, an event unknown to two southern women. So, we went to Death Valley, where temps were in the mid 80s.

I posted this on CTH a few days ago…
In my never ending quest for Truth, I’ve been following the climate news if for nothing else than to be prepared for whatever comes our way. Predictions for this coming winter are brutal. The warmongers spewing out Climate Change/Climate Warming have but to look at history (the real history) of weather on our earth. I’m pasting quotes from John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (yes, that long ago) about the horrible conditions they were trying to survive through (besides war)! Makes one think that climate is just a continuing cycle. The full link is below:
In a letter to his wife, John Adams wrote:
“Indeed I feel not a little out of Humour, from Indisposition of Body. You know, I cannot pass a Spring, or fall, without an ill Turn — and I have had one these four or five Weeks — a Cold, as usual. Warm Weather, and a little Exercise, with a little Medicine, I suppose will cure me as usual. … Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.”
On September 8, 1816, Jefferson described the weather in a letter to Albert Gallatin:
“We have had the most extraordinary year of drought and cold ever known in the history of America. In June, instead of 3¾ inches, our average of rain for that month, we had only 1/3 of an inch; in August, instead of 9 1/6 inches our average, we had only 8/10 of an inch; and it still continues. The summer too has been as cold as a moderate winter. In every state North of this there has been frost in every month of the year; in this state we had none in June and July but those of August killed much corn over the mountains. The crop of corn through the Atlantic states will probably be less than 1/3 of an ordinary one, that of tobacco still less, and of mean quality.”

‘The Late, Great Planet Earth’, ‘The Population Bomb’ – remember those Armageddon books from the gloom-and-doom period of the 70s? The Rapture/death from above didn’t come and we developed greater technology and improved food production so no mass starvation. You gotta lotta bored folks out there leading hun-drum lives who want to be part of something special to give their lives meaning if not substance, these ‘end of the world’ scenarios seem to work quite nicely.

Then it became a cult, and now we can’t get away from these wackos telling us not to drive cars or eat meat so that we can Save da Urf.
They won’t be happy until we’re all serfs, farming with our hand tools and living in thatched roof huts, to which I say they can go first.

They wouldn’t be happy then, they just think they would. I want to see them get dumped naked in the jungle like they did in the Tom Clancy book.
