the Mad Thread has surpassed itself tonight. Wowzers! Good luck any learners in there! 

The 18z seems to have thrown a few in there. Some saying it's a bad run while others think it's the opposite. Oh and a few more easterlies over posts.

Thanks Karlos. Funny thing is it scares me too ?. I’m going to have to be brave if I’m taking groups round by myself ?

You crazy!

Once again 10 days time it was 10 days time ten days ago. It' Always ten days time. I'm done looking at the model thread this yaer what a total embarrassment it's been for anyone wanting to learn. The best thing to learn is it' all make belief after 5 days. Have a good summer everyone lets hope for spring warmth soon.

That's what happens when you take a computer generated future prediction model serious at 10 days time. Always the same chasing fake weather 10 days away and comes to nothing. Things get over ramped and exaggerated! Why on earth people look beyond 5 days is beyond me. SSW has been over hyped too and clearly it's all gone peat tong. 

I certainly won’t be dusting off my sledge anytime soon, but when you look at the spread on the ensembles after the 19th anything is on the table! 

There is so much to be resolved I don’t why people are taking every model run seriously, the 19th is only 5 days away, a lot of water to pass under the bridge!

To be fair I need 10 days notice to dust my sledge off! It’s in 3 inches deep of dust! Gonna take a while!

Sounds intriguing...

Ive always been a believer ever since I had an experience as a child, Last year I won an overnight stay in a reputedly haunted location, I have to say it’s reignited my interest as I had another experience whilst there! So much that I may be starting working for a company that runs investigations. So as I’m excited at the moment I thought I’d ask you lot your views ?

Have had a couple of experiences throughout my life. So not really so much a 'believer'; more that I just know that we all have a soul that exists and carries on beyond this physical body. 

The research conducted by Dr Michael Newton is interesting. Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls being two books I'd recommend. 

Paranormal Lockdown was also a decent programme to watch.

Thanks - I’ll have a look at that program and the books ?

Just popped back to the model thread, it goes from talking about the Sun, to high temperatures being recorded in February and March. I don't want to read this crap! When is it going to get drummed in to those that continually discuss rubbish that has no place in there?

[Frosty hollows]

My sledge was out before xmas 2017. Just saying.

Swear to god this is true and it's what forced me to accept there's some strange stuff in this world we don't understand.

The house previous to the one I have now (local to here) was beautiful, listed to the hilt, c1640 and it was love at first sight. Odd things started happening shortly after moving in, odd noises, things moving around etc, put it down to not being familiar with the normal creaks that old houses have and being forgetful about where I'd put things. Next stage was literally everyone who visited would get awful headaches and feel really tired, worried I got the boiler checked, flues checked, even had a radon survey. Cutting a long story short, lots of increasingly bizarre things happened culminating in being woken in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, wide awake, sat bolt upright kind of awake to see at the end of my bed about a dozen books suspended in mid air. They had been on the window sill and looked for all the world like someone had put a hand either end of the stack and were holding them up, but there was no one there, seconds later they crashed to the ground. It wasn't a dream, I was wide awake. S**t scared and seriously doubting my sanity I asked around for help and advice. Went to Glastonbury as there's every weird, wacky person you could ever need in that town, spoke to loads and was eventually pointed in the direction of Wells Cathedral (no one in Glasto would come anywhere near). Feeling incredibly foolish I spoke to a lovely priest at Wells who assured me I wasn't mad, these things do happen and although it's not publicised they and every parish have priests who specialise in these problems. A priest came out to the house, together with a small congregation and together they held a requiem mass in the bedroom of the floating books, he then went room to room saying prayers and blessings before finally blessing all in the house. It was one of the most bizarre experiences I've ever had. Weird things stopped happening. Coincidence? Perhaps. I had no answers then, I've still got no answers, all I can say is it happened and then it stopped happening.

@bobbydog

As our posts were removed, i'll reply in here.

Their continual off-topic posts were in the model thread, not in the banter thread. I reported their posts, but they were still coming thick & fast, and I got fed  up of it. So, I used the multiquote function and posted it in the banter thread, as to not follow in the footsteps of two people I was quoting.

Trust me, I report it, if I see it. But, nothing was being done about it for some reason.

After all that rain yesterday I thought it'd be drying out tonight, but it has just started to rain again! :O

I'm off to bed in the early hours and,contrary to recent nights, the temp is not only above zero, but is rising  #hellospring #gutfeeling

[festivalking]

Judging by this morning' output I suspect the mad thread might start to calm down and posters start to drift away

.....with any luck!

Looks like milder weather is upon us for the foreseeable. 

[knocker]

Clear morning with a smidgen of Sc, temp 8C and breezy from the west

[khodds]

@jethro that’s a fantastic story - thanks for sharing ? it must have been rather frightening for you at the time. That kind of thing gives me the hi-be ji-bees!!

[khodds]

So if I’m understanding this correctly, going by the UKMO and ICON this morning, if they are correct, we could have an easterly coming in 96 hours...? 

[Loadsa2000]

Long time lurker in both here Wales thread and the mad thread.

We bought a 19th century cottage when we were in our twenties.  We were having to make improvements to the place so was trying to work out the way the joists were running. Went upstairs into one of the bedrooms and lifted a random floorboard. Found an old South Wales Echo newspaper in between the joists from about 15 years before. Anyway was looking through it (as always like to compare prices for things then and now etc) When I came to some pictures of a operatic groups production. Slap bang in the middle of the article was a picture of the leading man and it was my father in-law who had died 3 years previous to us moving in. Coincidence or as my wife put it he was giving us his approval of the cottage

Morning all. Yet again a beautiful start to the day, but temps above zero for the first time in ages. Light winds, 7C and hopefully this spring like day won't deliver later rain.

It really is UKMO out on there own at this stage (Don't really rate ICON as much)

If UKMO comes up trumps then huge kudos and a huge slap in the face for GFS ECM Meteogroup and BBC weather.....

I think we can almost call it a day regarding the Easterly.

Somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere will not see cold from the SSW, and the form horse are the usual place that normally miss out.

Places facing the North Atlantic (UK) and North Pacific

Just glad we're near the end of Winter & Spring is round the corner.

On the plus side, it looks like it could end up drier and warmer. Would be a real kick in the teeth if it was wet and mild, while other places were buried in snow.
