Drifter I live in England. We don't get much snow. I'll take anything.

It is however the model thread, not the T-72 model thread. Conscientious and knowledgeable posters have been commenting on the output as shown. Not ‘what always happens’.

Please don’t. Posters have been conscientiously looking at the models and giving an appraisal of what they show.

As someone with very limited understanding of the models I have noticed the same thing. It is quite confusing.

Why do they run it if it’s rubbish?

Yes by ignoring climate change and not adapting in any way. Just maintaining a veneer of interest while carrying on as they always have. They have doomed us all in the pursuit of power and wealth.

I'm in the Ickwell/Northill area and haven't heard that so far.

If only it could drop another 50 miles south for me! Hope as many as possible get lucky though.

Is there still room for change for the weekend from what the models show now? Thanks. I will be at Glastonbury

I’m just west of Biggleswade, it had calmed down but has picked up again in the last 30 mins.

Indeed Blue, for the vast majority it is fun! Having been reading the forum for a decade or so it’s clear that a vast majority would be more than happy with a day or three out in the snow. There’s little unhealthy in that.

What’s unhealthy about wanting to see a few days or a week of cold weather?

If it kills your garden there is plenty to complain about. Just got my perennial’s coming back, going to try and get some of them covered today.

Isn’t it to do with context? Didn’t the GFS pick up on this cold spell first before being inconsistent? Whereas now with the very cold surface conditions we shall have by the weekend meant the speed with which it shifted the cold away seemed unlikely. I’m new to this so could be totally wrong but that’s how I read It.

Got some big flakes mixed in as well at Sandy.

I’m just south of you at Sandy. Hopefully it’s on it’s way.

You’re doing that thing you do, again. As a rank amateur who is selective over whose posts I take on board and also trying cut through the emotion. Would it be fair to say that while the models currently show problems that would scupper any cold spell, there is also still plenty of possibilities for snow in the next 10 days?

While I agree with you that posts shouldn’t be misleading for the most part they have been a result of enthusiasm being met with crushing disappointment. I don’t think that justifies the reactions.

I believe there has been young man posting in the model thread who is way under your requirement who is knowledgable and enthusiastic. You’d be rid of him?

Been lurking on here for about a decade but have been compelled to sign up because of what I’ve seen today. First off, by and large the forum is excellent and filled with informative, helpful people attempting to untangle a science that still has so many gaps in our understanding or even trying to fit together that which we do know. I feel like I’ve learnt a lot without having scratched the surface and I’m constantly in awe of those who can put so many different pieces together to arrive at a coherent view. I thank many of you for that. However the sniping, arrogance and crowing over the last couple of pages here is distasteful. Those implying an immaturity in posters seem to lack some perspective on how their own crowing appears when read by someone else. People have their bias and have theirs hopes, sometimes this might go to far in to the analysis they’re attempting to give but I don’t see any malice in it, the same, unfortunately, can’t be said for those who take so much pleasure in see those hopes fail. it’s a shame, and the forum is a poorer place for it.
