Shouldn’t forget the ICON since it’s been used in the MAD thread, which is just before the GFS. 

ICON has been amazing. GEM and ICON shall never be mentioned in the same breathe from this day forward! Unless of course it’s been wrong all along. Then it can go in the bin lol

[Mapantz]

The last 3 or  4 days, the DWD ICON's forecasts have been around 77% accurate, putting it in 3rd place, behind the WRF and AROME models and just slightly ahead of the ARPEGE.

Just for fun

Oohh now that I like, that chart better verify

I could almost guarantee we would end up with  (possibly severe)  wintry weather this winter (spring!) , why you ask, because I took up gardening last summer and have numerous plants and dwarf fruit trees in container pots.

Overcast after a bright warm and sunny morning, with some colour beginning to show in the garden....nice..

[interested & confused]

They are beautiful

Yep! Shows up loud and clear on the Stroud seismograph.  Pick your area from the list.

My room just started shaking!

[matt111]

Early reports suggesting an earthquake somewhere in South Wales. 

Didn’t feel it this far East but we had one a few years ago. Very odd feeling when it happens.

Seems to be in South Wales although don’t know the exact location. 

[Andrew_WsM]

That was extremely eerie, room just started shaking, tv rocking.

Neighbours outside didn't notice anything!

[Buzz]

South Wales reporting in - yup, I experienced it too.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Wow that was weird, house shook. 

[khodds]

Near Swansea by the looks of twitter

[knocker]

I was led on my bed and could feel the P wave before the S wave hit my head board was tapping the wall slightly and not in a good way  then S wave hit with a "Jolt" whole place moved!

[Mapantz]

A report map shows people in Poole and Bournemouth felt it. I didn't feel anything here, and I was sat quietly in the room watching TV. So they're either telling porkies or wanting to jump on the bandwagon.

[EllyTech]

In the last decade we've had two quite large one's - of note - both of which terrified me as I had no idea what was happening. This time I just casually thought, hmm, earthquake.
