Weegaz Posted January 4, 2018 Location: Nutts Corner Location: Nutts Corner Share Posted January 4, 2018 GFS still showing potential for us over this side of the pond next weekend. Still along way off but IMO the GFS has been good at its predictions of snow events so far this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Neiller looks like the morning crash seems to have been averted. Its either that or they have acclimatized to what is happening.

Once again they all got suckered in by the yearly phantom easterly which basically never materialises and now it’s complete meltdown. Literally models really should not be taken seriously post day 3-4 and eventhsts a push, however the entertainment in the model thread after that is brilliant. Reality is we live in a climate that sucks for prolonged cold spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I wasn't suckered in by this promise of the E/NE winds bringing cold and snow... A weak easterly is still possible this weekend, but nowt to wrote home about.

As Neiller said, its a bit comical but I myself unfortunately did jump on the bandwagon slightly. I can't say much because even with the set up 2 days ago we wouldn't have gotten much lmao, bring on PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
