Model output discussion - 7th January onwards

I'd call it an Arctic maritime flow personally. -
Hunt For Cold: Model Discussion - Heading Into Christmas
Steve C replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
The coldest 3 month period in the CET record is something like 6th December to 5th March. Meteorological definition is closer for us here, as simple as. -
The hunt for cold - Model discussion (late November)
Steve C replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I'd trust a zonal chart at day 15 more than an easterly chart at day 10, unfortunately. -

Really? Maybe he should call himself "Summer Rain" then. People say "mild mush" I've never seen "cold mush" ever mentioned. Gavin obviously dislikes cold at all costs and it's his right. Unless there's proper snow, cold precipitation is way worse, for me. -

Strange how some people here seem to think mild and wet weather is the absolute pits. Okay, not ideal by a long stretch but instantly better than cold, with sleety rain for me. At least heating bills are much less for starters! ? -

Interesting and good to hear! -

I don't think I've ever seen such a crass and insensitive comment on here, Tom. Just take heart that over 99% of people here are behind you. -

Morning. Reverse psychology needed for Easter methinks. GEFS perturbation 15. It must happen, surely? -

Jeez Tom! Hopefully that new treatment for HD might come in time for your daughter? -

I hope it all goes well for you and the later Spring and Summer can be much more easy and enjoyable. One of my brothers had a brain haemorrhage, in his early thirties, five years ago, so I understand just how debilitating and life changing it can be. -

He's right. I think the Met Office, being the original providers, gave added value to BBC forecasts; with the access to different models and the pool of human expertise. Now, frankly, there's little point in watching a BBC forecast - you might as well just come to sites like this, or work it out yourself! -

Was woken by rain on the windows at 5 here. By 6 it was merely overcast. Sunshine appearing now as the cloud departs southwest. -
Model output discussion - here comes the beast!
Steve C replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
How does such a reasonable assessment get so few up votes, compared to the not knowing their a*se from their elbow contributors who plague this thread with one liners/ sound bites? Needs properly sorting IMO. -

Did you put salt in your coffee by mistake this morning? -

Saw that post. I was thinking the winter of 1684 compressed into late February and March! It'll play utter hell with our infrastructure. -

Daniel, I don't ignore anybody (unless they were stalking me for some God only knows reason) I think ignoring is a bit childish. My analogy would be something like, say you were sitting at a bar, or in a cafe and strangers were talking about a subject you were interested in but said something you disagreed with. Fine to introduce yourself and state why you disagreed. They'd probably enjoy the debate. Would you really introduce yourself with "What planet are you on?" though. Really? -

I must say, your style of posting comes across as quite offensive at times... I doubt you're even aware though. -

Sorry to hear that Tom! Didn't know that. With Chris dying it seems the damned thing was cursed! -

By far the biggest snowfall where I live was in the February spell (the spell in the New Year was more significant for the Home Counties, where I'd been for Xmas, than back at home). I reckon slightly less snow than January 1987 but more than February 1991 (and nothing else in my life has come close...) The gale force winds caused more drifting than '87 or '91 for my area too. Again nothing else has come close. http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/archives/archives.php?day=15&month=2&year=1979&hour=0&type=ncep&map=0&type=ncep®ion=&mode=0

Sorry and agree, especially if precipitation is constant.
