[Model Output Discussion - Spring Has Sprung]

A few days of a colder weather meaning less rain before more cold rain and winds looking like early spring warmth from 2nd week of March but shhhh don’t anyone warmth without rain

[Midlands regional discussion - Winter 23/24]

 Dancerwithwings  not for south of Birmingham wet and miserable 

[Midlands regional discussion - Winter 23/24]

Another yawn fest south of Birmingham for snow cant belive the met office even put out a warning on Monday the forecasting in recent years has been all snowflake varity no pun intended… if any of us was so bad at our jobs we would all get sacked 

[Model banter and emotions]

More rain and windy weather south of Manchester again

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Model moaners have gone quiet do love the chase but omg so may experts so called … so In conclusion the week ahead will be cold and the usual favoured spots getting some snow but although I know this will fall on deaf years why oh why do people pin all there hopes on  models … weather forecasting as alway lad been an difficult science but watching the drama in the model watching is better than Still game and what a hoot that was 

[Model Output Discussion - Colder but how cold and for how long?]

So a few chilly days then a messy transition to a slightly milder out look is my best translation of current models close but no cigar 

[Model Output Discussion - Into Winter]

If Santa could give gifts out for the snow chasers this forum would win it hands down …. With that in mind Jan 13th will be a coldies day to remember 

[Model Output Discussion - Into Winter]

The day to day forecasts are awful at the moment at getting things right what chance any model watching will be more fruitful

[Model Output Discussion - Into Winter]

I do love model watching but after many years of doing so I’ve learned that Synoptics can and change at short notice don’t get hung up on every run

It’s been a wet snowy day here no deposits and now just sleet further snowfall looks slim ice though probably a booger threat all in all a disappointed coldie here

This forum has to be one of the best winter dramas to watch. Can the moderator please start handing out Oscar’s please 

[Coldest minima 2021-2022 predictions and recordings]

Didnt even have a frost here

[Model discussion: Hunt for cold - into mid-January]

Will be interesting to see the CET for the midlands this winter hunt for cold ? Certainly used more grit salt this year than for quite a few 

[Model discussion: Hunt for cold - into mid-January]

Just a thought but shouldn’t this thread be called the hunt for widespread snow … 3 nights of sun zero temperatures here in south midlands and day day temps barely above fridge temperatures… whilst I understand this isn’t the case nationwide wide but neither would a snow event be

[Model discussion: Hunt for cold - The start of 2022]

I do often wonder what constitutes a cold spell in some peoples mind and exactly what they are looking for in the models, many areas across the west and central midlands woke to an unexpected snow covering and temps tonight expected to be -5c that's a cold spell which wasn't predicted or in any model watch.        

[Midlands Regional Weather Discussion]

Covering here in Alvechurch too just goes to show how crap model watching and weather forecasts really are … the weather will do what it wants 

[Model discussion - hunt for cold Christmas period 2021]

Wet and miserable is the forecast south of Staffordshire for the foreseeable take it from me

[Model discussion - hunt for cold - Christmas countdown]

What's your Bros thoughts on this current set up Mark ? don't see his well informed comments much these days 

[Model discussion - hunt for cold - Christmas countdown]

Looks like the hopes of many for a white Christmas have been dashed again after years of model watching starting to wonder if they are a lot less reliable than they used to be

What are you basing this on? All  i see is  perhaps something chilly by week 2, but nothing special.

The models aren’t always the answer believe it it or not patterns and nature watching are for more reliable ... ask your self what are models ... computer churning crap fed into them ... recent performance of any models short or even long term have tbf been poor at best ... watch this space is all I can say

[Model output discussion 10/02/21]

On the cusp of something quite special here for March I think for cold lovers

They are all the same in showing precipitation, if you asked me it’s a simple case of all that’s falling is evaporating before it reaches us.

Nope evaporation is not happening just poor radar imaging
