Havent taken a peek at the ECMWF weeklies until today. Looks very wet and seasonal at the end of the month. Signs point towards a wet and chilly april.

Last great weekend to ski coming up.

Yeah. The only member I can remember from the original board with a name starting with “k” is “Kurtal.”

Oh no...not another wet April. Last April was so wet...and then followed by that bone-dry May. Worst of both worlds. :thumbdown:

Indeed. Now that we appear to be done with snow until next winter, I hope we have a cool and wet summer.

Good question. I’m not entirely sure to be honest. I’ve never been good at recalling specific years except for the historic type events (aka Winter 08-09). I think Typing man is the guy to ask!

From what I recall the summer of 2008 was cooler than normal but I haven't looked at the data recently.

I don't remember much about July, but I remember August 2008 was a complete washout. I had a couple good thunderstorms that month, though.

Without looking up the stats I would say the last cool summer was 2011. We didn't even hit 30C until September that year.

I think they may have lived in the same area at the time. Didn't Nito live in Guildford, or was it Fraser Heights? Haven't seen Kurtal in ages, but I know he lived in the Guildford area back in the day.
