mr crazy snowfan, Bill Farkin, Dave Allen, AnotherpintofMild, they were all on there in the early 2000's and then it closed every night at 10pm sharp!

 

I think I am Forum number 27 on here, came across with Stephen Prudence when Paul set up Netweather, in the early days there was only a few threads on here and 100 members in the first few months.

With the wind veering northeasterly on Tuesday, be interesting to see if much in the way of ppn starts to move inland off the N Sea, dew points look to be a lot lower from later today and look to remain the right side of marginal for the rest of this week - it's just a question of how much precipitation's going to generate over the N Sea and move inland. Models suggests mostly light showers Tuesday and Weds

 

Currently late Thursday early Friday looks interesting, 06z GFS shows a 500mb cold pool drifting W to SW over the near continent which could initiate snow showers - helped by 1000-850mb (partial) thicknesses of sub 128dm moving off the near continent too. With winds from the ENE - could even see a Thames Snow Streamer set-up - though unfortunately its too far off to get excited over for now, as the synoptics may alter more unfavourably before then i.e. cold pooling staying on the continent and less chance of deeper convection intiating.

Euro4 06z not without interest:

I was here on snow watch for the fantastic streamer event that dumped 6 inches of snow. One of our members phoned up the met office and asked why we didn't have a red warning and they said 'it will be red very soon' she then told us here and it was just great.

Interesting how them showers have intensified as they've gone south. Oxford might get something...?

I came over from BBC snow watch or ''slow watch" cause it was painful. Forgotton about Bill Farkin - wasn't he the guy that based his forecasts on his ducks behaviour or something like that?

[Mr_Pessimistic]

Was some of the heavyist snow I've ever seen here half hour ago, even settled for a while too. Shame its melted already.

[Daniel*]

GME is very cold.

ENE wind flow... pressure might be a tad too high. Expert opinion?

[Mal_UK]

Not sure of the actual temp, but it certainly feels exceptionally cold compared to earlier, an far windier!

[john mac]

Not an expert but I would say too high mate, you could get snow showers going at say 1010- 1015mb

I remember bill firkin really admired his posts

[Pixel]

ahh yes fond memories of Mr Crazysnowfan man - wonder what happened to him?  His posts certainly made me chuckle too

[PLANET THANET]

I think it was bill firkin who relied on the greebes flying for his forecast

Was he the chap that was always on about Grebes?

It was always a laugh on Slow Watch as it was known by some!

Nuff Said!
