So when are you planning to win the league again? In fact, when are you planning to win anything?If they gave trophies out for talking about winning, Arsenal would win every single year.

I seem to recall reading that "the GFS has backed down at the last minute" (bringing it into line with models forecasting the more Southerly track) So, the GFS seemed to have the mid-term signal right, but the immediate short-term as woeful as the other models. Can't really deny that, because that IS what happened.

What I don't get is this... we've all seen how the GFS model has 'backtracked' quite a lot in terms of the progression of this LP to our SW, and it was the only one which was sticking it waaay more North than the others. Agree right? Well, doesn't that say that there's something wrong with that modelling system then? Does it not also suggest then that, until it's proved itself again, then ALL of its outputs should be the one given less attention? Seems a bit odd that the GFS can be proven to be way off course, yet people still get excited about the very next model it chucks out? What's to say that that model run isn't going to be miles off as well? Personally I think I'm learning that GFS is a bit of a mickey mouse model - dreamers paradise but shouldn't really be taken seriously. ECM seems to be more of a solid looking thing, and UKMET is the business. Never bother thinking of the weather beyond 5 days because you might aswell just roll a dice (which is what the GFS models seem to do at that sorta range) just my tuppence anyway.

Cold rain?? I've never felt warm rain! I don't mind it getting seriously arctic for a while but only if we get something interesting like a good bit of snow. Otherwise I just don't see what's to get excited about really. Dry cold is just depressing!

I'm stuggling to understand what's supposed to be so exciting about a dry cold? It's VERY boring if you ask me I'd rate it alongside dull SW'ly rubbish

BRILLIANT stuff Steve, enjoyed reading all that analysis :lol:

looks like mild outlier to me! :lol:

With the greatest of respect, no amount of hoping is going to make a shot of difference to the weather - so it really doesn't matter what any of us say on here, we're just trying to interpret the different models. How can that annoy you?? The weather isn't X-Factor y'know!

Yeah I think this is gonna be a major washout/cry baby time for loads next week. As others are saying, there just aint enough cold air in situ for this to be some sort of wipeout event. Best to wait until Sat/Sun runs to have a better idea about things, otherwise gonna be lots of going on

It's swings and roundabouts. I remember last winter seeing the SW get hammered by snow and people stranded down there. Likewise, the Midlands (and further North) always get more snow than those in the SE. The February event this year was the first significant snow since about 1991. Fact is, we can't ALL have snow, so it's a bit cry baby if people want/expect it every winter - just doesn't work like that.

Thanks Paul, I just took offence when I got called stupid. But she's apologised now so alls well

they're not trapped, they should just get out and walk!

massive downgrade going by this BBC forecast, gonna be nowt tonight

You might aswell go to bed now Are you serious, panic attacks because of snow? It's not gonna mug you

OH MY DAYZ! Never had such a fun drive home lol My place is covered, about an inch easily - it just hammered it down for an hour!!! err, kinda light stuff now though. Hope it pivots back and lashes us again, would be well worth the wait after all the days of

oh my giddy granny... its SNOOOOWWING! only ickle...but its still snooooooowing :winky::winky::wub:

cant see white christmas at all on that one :unsure:

Coolio, I'll let him know haha All my family are die hard Tottenham Doubt we'll win today but did give Man City a kicking the other night so who knows lol Hope I see some snow later on, it's boring seeing such a shaking of suger on my grass

If they see that one of the models always overdoes the strength of a low (or whatever) then can't they compensate for it in other runs? Or does it not work like that? (soz, im trying to learn)

Morning everyone First post so be gentle My Dad is going up to watch the Spurs game at Blackburn today. Do you think he'll run into snow? Would love some snow where I am, only got a dusting other day
