It'll be mild by Christmas...

[Guest bjaykent]

I will have to copy and paste those words lol, my its cold, its snowing, I've got cold feet, wouldn't go down well there, that's my intellectual weather forecasting.

Well the most liked post in the history of netweather was in the mod thread (173 likes) and simply said 'WTF, I don't know what to say' you could try that but I don't recommend it

[Coast]

Just post any chart, then mention something like it showing energy splitting or similar. People would then think you're an expert.

 

[Guest bjaykent]

Hi Robin, GFS 0.5 6z showing a bit more interest in snow for Thursday morning, don't really trust these charts though!

mmmm now theres a thought, nope, im not that stupid even after a few voddys, I will stay safe in here, with the people who put up with my silly comments, and im just waiting for the white stiletto jokes COAST!!!!!!!!!!!

[stainesbloke]

Brrr, feels cold outside at 4C, it's the wind that is making it feel chillier. At least the sun is out

Morning Ian,

 

I think I'm going to resort to staring into the sky and seeing what I feel on my face. Mind you, all the indications are currently that anything that may be coming would be in the very early hours and I don't fancy camping out in my sleeping bag to check out the chances of snow!

 

 and im just waiting for the white stiletto jokes COAST!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What, WHAT???  

[Team Jo]

Tbh, any subject where there are lots of factors open to personal interpretation, will tend to spark the kind of debate there is in the Model threads. Ultimately, although we have some amazing forecasting tools, it boils down to the fact that you just can't always predict the future, although you can give it a good stab!

There are a lot of people who passionately favour one Model over another, or one weather type over another, and when you mix them all up it can get a bit fraught. However, there are some really reasonable balanced posters in there, like I've said before, and I really do recommend dipping in every now and again. - a good time (I think) is around 5-5.30 when the 12z has rolled out, and there's some good analysis going on.

In the meantime, There are some really good Model Guides (very digestible and informative) on the Learning about the weather thread on here, and if you feel more comfortable posting in a slightly less frantic topic, the Model Banter one is a good place too.

Anyway! That's my twopenneth, I think all the Mods in the Mod try really hard to make it as informative and objective as possible, and tbh, a lot of posts get moved rather than deleted - it's not that your thoughts aren't welcome, they just might be posted in the wrong place.

Cor! that's a long one for me! Bacon sandwich time I think!

[Paul Sherman]

Brown Sauce on mine please Jo!

 

I like this time of year because instead of me awaiting what weather I might get from Jo, She has to wait for me to send the weather to her.

 

Which must mean its nearly silly season and winter is close

[Team Jo]

Silly season started about a fortnight ago!!

 

But yes, I am looking forward to you sending some Estuary Streamers my way!

 

Roll on May though..!

[SteveCoops]

Can someone explain what 'zonality' weather means? Is it something clever?

[Team Jo]

Can someone explain what 'zonality' weather means? Is it something clever?

Have a look on here..

 

http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/56318-guide-to-uk-winter-setups/

 

For us, Zonal is West to east weather, so soggy, Mildish Atlantic type stuff.

 

If you're seeing 'a return to Zonality' Mentioned, I think that's to describe the weather returning to how it's been the last few weeks, wet windy etc....

 

(If I'm wrong here anyone, please correct me!)

[Sussex Jules]

Morning all. Was up and out early this morning for a dentist appt evil people they are. Certainly felt a bit chilly compared to previous days. I see the crying and 'I told you so' has started in the MAD thread this morning. Why do they do it to themselves?! It's the weather it will do what it wants when it wants as we all know Mother Nature just by her name is female so this probably explains alot.

 

Certainly going to be chilly overnight looking at lates Met O think I may be glad of having two big dogs to keep me warm tonight.

 

The one thing I really want to know is did some guy on a  Northern Irish beach get his snow last night?!

[throwoff]

+45

 

[SteveCoops]

Thanks Team Jo!

 

Jules71 - one of my cousins on Facebook said it snowed last night in Derry.

[SteveCoops]

Temp and dew point have started dropping at home.

Popping this in here again for any members who havnt yet entered the Snow Depth Cup,  this Friday 10 pm being the cut-off point, although I'm sure we can be a bit flexible, as no snow is imminent.

 

"Just a quick thanks to members that have sent me pms and posts entering the Snow Depth Cup competition this year.

 

If any of you havnt entered yet and would like to, just drop a post in here or pm me. Anybody that hasnt entered yet will need to get their entry in by 10.00 p.m Friday 21st November, to give Chris time to enter all participating members on to spreadsheets.

 

 

The North Thames region below.

The member that records the most accumulated snow-depths, in each of groups 1 and 2 , by a date, tba, will then proceed to the knockout phase, probably in February but we can be flexible re. that, depending on how much snow there has been.

No doubt there could be a few members with the same accumulated depth but Chris and I have spoken about a tie breaker scenario, which will announce at a later date."

 

Knockout phase will look like this:

 

Semi-Final 1. North Thames (Group 1) Winner v South Thames (Group 2) Winner.

Semi-Final 2. South Thames (Group 1) Winner v North Thames (Group 2) Winner.
