Was thinking about this earlier. If these easterlies carried on in the summer  they'd be so hot

Although Euro high's can deliver beautiful south easterlies it's worth noting that some of the most easterly summer months have also been some of the wettest. If you get enough of an undercut then the summer moisture is fully capable of drenching the country.

The ext EPS has the vortex once more taking up residence in the Hudson Bay area with the trough to the east associated with the weakening N. Russian vortex and with the Azores attempting to ridge in the vicinity of the UK it may be not a bad Easter weekend, albeit temps still a little depressed.

  Getting sick to the back teeth now of winter , its had its last say, nothing is growing , all the countryside looks drab and monotone,  mostly dead wood with little sign of green appearing , Dirty roads with dirty grass verges from tons of environmentally damaging salt thats been spread day after day, economy starting to be hit, its time to say goodbye.    I don't mind cold shots in January, as long as they dont last too long so the salt can be washed away   With no sign of any real warmth and just 'meh' 8c temps in the models its bleak

From a meteorological perspective we have just had two of the most interesting periods of weather for many a year which as a bonus threw the hard core chionophiles a couple of meaty bones to chew on . And yet they are still not satisfied and are now wittering on about how lubbly it would be if Easter and beyond heralded more cold and unpleasant weather. In fact one gets the impression that they would like nothing better than bypassing Spring altogether.

I am beginning to suspect that it would be doing a great kindness to humanely euthanize them so as to permanently alleviate this state of permanent dissatisfaction.

Have to be honest sometimes the MOD thread gets on my nerves when a cold spell is on its way.

If you post a chart suggesting little snow then members moan and suggest the model is rubbish. Yet these are the same people who will come back to this thread in a few days time and moan at the lack of snow. They will then moan about members overhyping and misleading other members in the MOD thread.

This happens everytime and becomes tiresome.

Was it a very much overhyped event based on that one model run?

People didn't say the model was rubbish because it showed no snow (When in actual fact it did), people suggested it was not a great model becasue of past performance. 

you got what the chart shown wrong, then you had the cheek to pretend it was everyone else that was wrong.

I suspect some on this thread have trouble understanding the written word,the thread name includes 3 words,moans,ramps and banter. If they prefer to say kill folk than understand the meaning of these 3 words....oh dear

I have no idea what you are on about.

I said in the MOD thread that the Euro 4 suggested little snow for the far SE. Guess what many in the SE thread were moaning because the Thames Streamer failed to develop and many especially in the Kent area only witnessed light snowfall. This despite the amber warning.

So in actual fact I was proved correct because the far SE i.e Kent didn't see anywhere near the snowfall predicted by some.

I never knew merely posting a chart from a model run would cause such aggro. I apologise that I didn't have enough time to post every single frame from every single model run for you.

Come on Dave...How long have you been a member on here?

Exactly! So you should know, as well as I do, that the word 'snow' can only be preceded by certain adjectives - and 'little', is quite definitely not one of them; it is taboo...However, 'loadsa', 'mountainsa', '1947-/'63-esque', and many others of a similar vein are all fine!

Or even suffix's such as mageddon.

Snow fall is hit and miss of course there are people moaning about not getting any. It happens all the time.

You belitted people for daring to question the chart you posted, a chart that has since been proven in correct, even after you interpretation was also proven incorrect. 

The fact you came to this thread to moan that people had a different opinion to you says a lot. Especially when you where wrong.

[northwestsnow]

Im still not allowed to post in the MOD thread months later, thats surely got to be worth a moan

C'mon guys , lets not argue over who was right and who was wrong, im wrong 99% of the time

[LJS22]

Anyone want to start a sweepstake as to when Frosty will start to post warm weather charts in the MOD thread?

Normally when the balance tips when coldies drift away for the summer so he has to swap to whatever posts will recieve the most ' Likes ' to keep them ticking over until the cold charts appear in FI towards the end of October

What a wicked, wicked calumny. Go and stand outside the headmasters's study immediately.

Unbelievable......

From memory, you were only providing commentary on MODEL charts showing North Westerlies in the MODEL thread....yet others can post off topic stuff to their hearts content.

I think you are yet again misunderstanding what was posted by myself and what actually fell on Saturday.

The point I am only trying to make is the HIrlam, Arpege, Met O warning all suggested heavy snowfall during Saturday in the form of a Thames Streamer developing. Now all I said was the Euro 4 only suggested light snowfall. This is what occured on Saturday with many parts of Kent and S&E London seeing little in the way of snow because the streamer didn't develop.

Personally I am still surprised the Met O had an amber warning for the SE because the model runs I looked at didn't really support the idea. I would appreciate the input from members in the area in question to see how much snow they did see. I think I am right in saying some people in Kent didn't see anything on Saturday night.

As for belittling people. I simply corrected an  error you made when assuming 5mm of precip would instantly mean 2 inches of snowfall.

I would rather have spring now but if the weather isn't going to deliver it, I would rather see more snowfall than cool drab rain and greyness
