Here's an interesting read.... http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200007/is-there-sixth-sense Personally, I'm in the 'yes there is' camp for a number of reasons, but that would mean me rambling on so I'll spare you! (Bet you didn't see that coming!) Kind regards, Mike

I agree. I think there's a couple of hours left at least. Light snow, of course, but none the worse for that. Regards, Mike

It's possible but you are on the coast. I wish you well - you're in with a chance. Kind regards. Mike.

Don't forget to check the radar: http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=radar;sess= Regards, Mike.

God help those at work who've got to get home tonight. Good luck everyone. Regards, Mike.

Second front (over the Irish sea) appears to be catching up with this slow moving front over us:- http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ Regards, Mike.

0Z6 snow risk map for 15:00 tomorrow. Regards, Mike.

Hi Syed. The very latest picture shows that we're still in the amber area. (sorry - can't copy the picture) http://www.metoffice...ings.html?day=2 Regards, Mike.

I'm surprised that Netweather haven't issued a warnng yet. Regards, Mike

Corbyn has a very bad name on Netweather. If you get the chance, search the archives and see what experienced members (unlike me!) have to say about him. Kind regards, Mike.

Nope! Regards, Mike.

Many thanks for those answers chaps. That's cleared up a blank spot for me! All to play for then! Kind regards, Mike

A rare post from me. A question for the knowledgeable: The Met Office have a snow warning for Friday in the south west:- http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_warnings.html?day=4 but the fax chart for 96 hours does not show this as far as I can tell. http://www.netweathe...s;type=fax;sess= Where am I going wrong? Many thanks, Mike.

http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile There ya go! Regards Mike

I wouldn't worry too muhch Snowflak88. They're having a tought time getting to grips with it themselves: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/yh/yh_forecast_warnings.html Kind regards Mike.

Surely Friday 14th? Cordially yours, Mike.

There's loads of stuff on the web about Lorenz, meteorology and chaos theory. Like here http://www.aip.org/history/climate/chaos.htm and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Norton_Lorenz I'm buggered if I can get my head around it, but it strikes me that, like CH, I agree that not only is this a tremendously difficult area but I feel strongly that those who can't be bothered to put in the time themselves and study any subject pass the blame of failure onto those that do.'' It's all your fault'' and ''let someone else do it'' seem to be the watch words. We don't blame firefighters for house fires. Why blame meteorologists for the enormity of dynamics beyond our control? Kind regards, Mike.

Life and Fate?Regards Mike

Fantastique!

What a great day. Clear skies tonight will freeze over what we've had - beers in the backyard - ? Yes please! Regards, Mike.

Thanks, Dave. In a rare post here I'd like to agree with your astute observations which confirm the trends my untrained mind had identified. Regards, Mike. P.S. Very belated Happy New year greetings.

And yet..... http://www.birminghammail.net/news/birmingham-news/2012/01/13/snow-could-be-on-the-way-as-winter-bites-in-birmingham-97319-30112788/ ..so, who knows? God alone, probably! Regards, Mike.

Yes, it's interesting that the Meto didn't issue this until a couple of hours after the day 6 -15 forecast. It's as if they had things to ponder. Or am I just being a conspiracy theorist? Regards, Mike.

An excellent link - many thanks. Regards, Mike

Too true, CR. ''A painting is a hypothesis which we test by looking at.'' E.H. Gombrich ( International Herald Tribune August 1991) I suppose us art historians can test Piers' hypotheses in the same way, but unlike looking at, say, Rembrandt, we can have a bloody good laugh - all too rare in this line of work (art history, that is!). Thanks and a tip of the hat to the late, great Ernie! Best wishes, Mike. P.S. Happy New Year Piers - I bet you didn't predict you'd get that from me! I wonder if he ever reads these threads?
