Snowing again here.

Is the "Best From The East" still in F1?

Snow showers here for most of the afternoon so far.

Heavy snow here in Corton

I think I'm starting to get to grips with some of this model watching mainly thanks to some of your excellent posts. Would you be so kind as to explain what you mean by "but I really don't think that won't be an issue once the shortwave exiting the states has sorted itself out" as I did find that a little confusing. Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if it would be possible for some of the contributors to the Model Discussion thread to take a little more care with their spelling and grammar as it can on occasion be quite difficult to understand exactly what point the poster is actually trying to convey. I am still thoroughly enjoying reading all the very technical jargon used in there, sadly still waiting for the mythical "Beast From The East" that they keep promising. Keep up the good work.

I'm going for 7.5c

I've been working so haven't been able to keep up with the "Easterly" chat. Is it still in F1?

Very new to all this but I must say I'm very impressed by the way you can forecast what the weather is going to be like in 12 days time using these models.

I wonder if the Easterly event now predicted for the 8th February will be an event predicted for the 15th February in 7 days time?

My first post in here after watching the General Model Output Discussion for some weeks. It does seem to me that one or two members seem to see an Easterly coming our way almost every week. This Easterly is always in F1 at the start of the week, and is back at F1 at the end of the week. If the models aren't showing an Easterly then the seagulls are. If the seagull theory doesn't work out another theory is pulled out of the hat. By the law of probability the Easterly forecasters must eventually get it right. They will then be seen as Gods of the Weather by the mere mortals on here. Bring on the Easterly.
