  1. I'd say the objections to warnings are more evidence of a nannying attitude, a sort of infantalisation of the public. Warnings come with caveats and likelihood attached, that leaves mature rational adults with the information needed to make plans or change plans if they wish to.
  2. Unheard of for Preston is this! The meto app (I know I know) is saying this stays heavy for hours but soon turns to rain, not even sleet, rain! Is that a good shout from them? Will the lying snow keep downs temps enough to keep it snow?
  3. I'm no expert on the charts, but I have been coming here for around 15 years. In that time there have been 2 what you might call historic cold spells, 2010 2018. There has been maybe 10 times the models have suggested similar spells only for them not to happen. During the build up to those non events, anyone who is cautious gets criticised.
  4. I think that is all right, lots of problems to overcome and some problems that probably won't ever be. The long and short is we need to use care less. For all the freedoms they give us, and they clearly do, they also cause so many problems, cluttering up our streets, effecting the easy we plan and build homes, limiting how and where children play, etc.
  5. Spot on, like I said yesterday, forecaster havent got anything wrong, they have given the best possible forecast with the tools available. Perhaps instead of criticising the people who complain should devout their lives to moving the science forward?
  6. Every forecaster I have seen last few days has said how hard it is to forecast this set up. So I think of it less as the met o getting it wrong and more that we still dont have the tools/science to make very accurate predictions in this sort of set up.
  7. It is very annoying, but just the way it is, a numbers game, there are more of them and naturally they talk about what the models say for their back yard. It would be nice to think poeople would be very balanced and neutral in their comments, but why should they really, they aren't providing a service.
  8. I know that, my point is, by that point lots of people don't want it, so a good run would be a mild run, for many, possibly a minority, but a significant one.
  9. Hi all, a request from a lurker. Can you specify what you mean by a run being better, or more favourable etc. I think from Nov to Feb it's probably pretty clear that the vast majority are looking for cold. But by mid March it's the last thing a lot of us want, so 'better' or 'upgrade', doesn't really mean anything.
  10. HI All, particulrly our Cumbrian friends! I have 5 nights, from sturday booked camping in the lakes. We arent fair weather campers and dont really mid a bit of wind and rain.....but....looking at the text and graphics forecast it doesnt look good at all. Now I know it wont be great, but those of you who live there, looking at the forescast from tomorrow onwards, how bad does that look? I.E do the forecasts tend to overplay the wind and rain, or would you be guesssing it will be as bad as it looks? Cheers Chris
  11. Its a discussion board, I think we will carry on. Cheers
  12. Everyone has a right to an opinion, but equally if that opinion is clearly nonsense others are entitled to treat it with the contempt i deserves. 74 mph at Hun airport, 70 mph widely in populated areas. 75 + is hurricane force. What the hell were you expecting from today? We dont live in hurricane alley, 70+ winds in populated areas is a huge event for this country. So yes express an opinion, but if it so clearly flies in the face of fact, expect ridicule.
  13. These posts are always so transparent, the same happens with snow forecasts, people try to mask it as serious consideration of the met o or of the models or of the warning system, but we can all read between the lines, what those posts really mean is......I wanted to see trees falling down from my window and its not happening, boo hoo, poor me. Ho
