  1. every country has to take whatever weather that comes their way. just like everybody was playing with themselves over the models a few days ago they've suddenly become convinced that what was going to happen isn't going to happen. its weird.
  2. but all these charts i hear about, from my untrainted eye are still a week away. why are these any different to the charts we've had before that haven't materilisted?
  3. go back and look at the model thread last weekend. many people said it was going to be a washout. gleefully as well. i'm all for people commenting on what they see but when they comment on things that are over a week away as though its fact when we all know things don't work out like that i get a little bit annoyed.
  4. well the experts on here last weekend had it a nailed on washout for a wet opening ceremony and on the weather just they said that there might be the odd shower. there was talk of an embarrassment to locog and a washout of massive proportions. doesn't seem likely now.
  5. i know its probably not the right place to say this but i'd say the accuracy of the forecasting on here is pretty poor. is there anywhere to see what people have expected to happen and what actually happens and the accuracy rate more than 3 or 4 days out? /apologise for being off topic.
  6. monday and tuesday and most of wednesday were nice days. Unfortunately since last night its been near constant rain. I'm normally fairly optimistic on the weather front but it is looking miserable for the next 3 days and no real sign of settling down. however, we can't do anything about it however disappointing it is.
  7. its the weather for the love of god. 'knew it wouldn't last' 'rather see wales get it' we have no control over the weather why fret about it?
  8. thanks for that. the uppers and all that don't mean much to me but the last few paragraphs sum up what might happen. thanks again.
  9. i'm more talking about their graphics on the website. I don't mind what weather we have, its what we get. I enjoy allsorts so have no bias to getting cold weather or snow. for example if you click on the bbc weather an hour ago it said it was snowing in cardiff, it wasnt. Although they were pretty accurate overall in this run i'll concede that.
  10. i find it awfully frustrating that on the model thread and this thread no-one actually says what they think will happen in the upcoming week. Anyone any actual idea of the real forecast for this week? The BBC forecast is to be ignored as its never accurate. The Met Office five day update doesn't show anything significant. So what is everyone on about for next week? Forget late February etc, what will happen in the near future?
  11. light snow here and temp rising gradually, 0.6 at the moment.
  12. ice day in central cardiff today. Didn't get above -0.4. currently -2.
  13. its not a let down, its the weather. Whatever happens will happen. met office updated cardiff with sleet for the afternoon now, it was rain previously.
  14. -6.6 here last night. only one night was colder in december 2010 when we got down to -6.8. So, before people moan about this winter we've had some good cold days in the last week.
  15. raining heavily in cardiff and the temperature has gone UP to 4 degrees exactly.
  16. its always cold in dodge. -13.5 degrees on christmas day at midday last year. where abouts are you?
  17. shall we have a little bet then? i bet (and sincerely hope i'm wrong) that this time next week its '7 days away'?
  18. its been one week away for weeks. why is it so different this week for the observers? it all seems like hopecasting allover.
  19. i know very little about the models but i know this much, people are always forecasting 7 days ahead. It would be great to see what actually happened the 7 days after they predicted. I'd guarantee that most people would be wrong. the ones that would be right would be wrong the next time. Its a guessing game, simple.
  20. why do people look at data that is over a week away and think it is going to happen? Its mind boggling. As we know its hard enough to forecast a day ahead let alone a week.
