Thats for the likes of Steve Murr and followers who have had just the cr@piest day.

 

To avoid disappointment I cover my eyes with bakewell tarts and pretend I have the devil in me. But that's because I live in Canada and get too much snow.

 

No such thing - I lived near Swan river MB for a few years and never tired of it!

It is a shame, we wait patiently for what can be many posters favorite season

and we get delt this. I think realistically we are looking at around the 10-15th

of January onwards before we see anything more than the odd cold snap.

 

Is there a Christmas skin this year. Cheers.

And when the weather is boring and we have still days that go on and on most wish for days like these heading our way, make the most of it, you'll get your snow.

* Walks straight out of the weather preference thread..

Yup. An awful lot of stuff of late (mods!) surely better suited to the moaning thread rather than a more neutral evaluation of the model output. The cold-seeking is wholly understood by those who like it, but it's wearying when a whole thread gets routinely devalued by folk describing runs as 'rubbish" or whatever terminology / one-liners of no added value. It's the weather: get over it. (NB originally posted on model thread, not this one) Edited December 17, 2013 by fergieweather

Ian, do you really want people to 'get over it' ?

i.e.: don't get so irate / combative etc about it all based on model output! Early coronary job. Not worth the stress! If it's a mild winter, then it's a mild one. Nothing can change that. Ditto if the converse is true. The joys of our insular land and it's weather vagaries... :-)

Weather God is not amused.

 

 

P.S - Can I have a copy of your mind dictionary !

 

"The joys of our insular land and it's weather vagaries" - No idea what it means, but i'm using that tomorrow if anyone stresses me out.

I think your post was moved here because it was not model related and therefore off topic and your comment "an awful lot of stuff of late(mods!) is rather unfair because for them too its a busy time of year and they can only waste so much time moderating (volunteers remember)

I wasn't complaining about the mods. They dealt with it. And do a grand job.

Christ the mod threads like a samaritans chat room when theres no cold/snow showing in charts winters only 3 or so weeks old peeps theres lots of weather for us coming up enjoy!! Its better than endless grey nothingness believe me

[chionomaniac]

Who is the Mod on here at the moment ? twice you deleted my LIGHT HEARTED post !!!! WHY??? you need to get sense of humour!!!

I didn't delete it but would have done. This is a family forum with younger members and there is no need to try and bypass the swear filter, humourous or not, thanks.

I think if there's no snow and cold for Christmas then the current wind and heavy rain would be my next choice. I'm sure there will be some colder phases early in the new year.

 

Although it should feel quite chilly in the wind.

Tided.

you mean a whole year (xmas 2014)?

[weather_it_will]

Pointless model watching until the new year at least if you want extreme cold weather.

 

Why do the mild fanatics keep posting endless reams of useless charts that consume unnecessary bandwidth.

 

There should be a restriction on number of charts people can post. Maximum 4.

 

I wonder what the record is for number of people on ignore list? I have 3 pages worth of ignores.

Got to agree with you ther CiB, i look to see if Steve Murr's posting and if he's not then nothings happening, it only takes a sniff for him to appear, no SM, no sniffs.

How do i use the ignore option? I could quite easilly fill a couple of pages at present.

Agreed, thankfully.

 

Who? it is the cold fanatics who keep posting fantasy garbage.

 

Frosty would be knackered then.

 

I'm sure they are really bothered.

a few, gaz, rich, swipe, richie v, but really models are showing average autumn weather, early Dec to early Jan, winter never kicks in until Feb to April normally, 2010 of course 1 in 100 year exception

Click on your username and then choose manage ignore prefs. I have 3 pages of ignores which makes the whole forum a lot more pleasant

At for the moment it doesn't look like Christmas day is going to be  ridiculously mild like 2011 was, that;s only thing that can from the current output, beyond that  it's simply a matter a patience, if RJS ends calling it right with his January cold snap suggestion (unlikely I know) then I salute him.

[Machu Picchu]

Thanks a lot chaps, much appreciated.

I really dont want to use the ignore option, everyone is entitled to their opinion but the bickering and one up attempts are seriously annoying at the minute. Im

a total noob but learning a lot from both coldies and mildies, the reality posts showing what we have and also the posts explaining options and scenarios that 

could lead to cold.

I know its frustrating for many at present but seeing the aggro posts puts members in my position off from posting in the mod thread, its a scary place full of

knowledge, intelligence, experience and ego which is daunting enough without seeing that the wolves also bite.

Just in case anyone has blocked this guy ;p

I find the annoying part about it is that it's become a 'Snow Watch' thread. They say they're looking for cold weather, but when that came in early December, with frosts, fog etc it was written off as "boring". I'd have thought you can have/enjoy cold weather without having to see snow falling from the sky, but that doesn't seem to the case with most of them. 

 

Haha, you're joking, the merest glimpse of anything a week ahead and Frosty's like a Daily Express front page!!

the 500mb charts can be very misleading, today the synoptics look unsettled but it was a clear sunny day here, other times the charts show a lovely big fat high sitting over us but it has be cloudy and dull, GFS FI again teasing us with a bit of blocking but too far out to take seriously
