  1. Sorry I do not agree with the new thread. Surely everyone has the right to say what they like in any thread and yes it very much comes across as a them and us scenario. Net Weather advertises the forum as one of the most friendly and informative on the web and I don't see how a thread where only a certain number of invited select few will be allowed to air there views will enhance this website. Basically this site is for amateur's that enjoying discussing the weather so it's meant to be fun and not lets turn into the met office where as so to speak the senior management get to speak and make all the important decision's while the "peasants" have no input. Thank You James
  2. The goverment has a duty to protect it's citizens, in this instance what would the goverment be protecting it's citizen's from?. Live's were not in danger so I see no reason for the military to become involved. The last time the Navy was used to rescue British citizens was when the Israeli's started bombing Lebanon and then yes there live's were in danger. This saga has been a inconvienance but never at any stage has it been life threatening.
  3. Personally I think if the models do not swing back to the snowfest that they were showing yesterday by the end of today's 12z runs we will be looking at what the charts are showing now, the high just to the North of the UK and a cold dry outlook for most of the UK. I won't be complaining at least it will be cold with some nice frosty nights. I know some people will be disappointed but you have to remember we don't live in Eastern Europe or Scandanavia so for us to get the deep cold that the models were showing yesterday really will take some kind of miracle. I could of course be wrong . James
  4. When you say wrong reasons, do you mean because it had the wrong evolution to the E'ly?, if so there is no way in the world any model could spot the evolution that far out but a trend yes.
  5. You have to hand it to the GFS, the Easterly was spotted by the GFS nearly 2 weeks ago, ok it's had it's wobbles and we have all had our doubt's, but it has got there in the end, so fair play to the GFS.
  6. The GFS and UKMO at T72 are very similar, maybe we are starting to see some agreement at last, fingers crossed!!!!
  7. These models just don't make sense, even though most are saying milder now, you have the BBC and the Met both still saying it is going to get colder next week!!, it would not surprise me at all to see the models switch back to a Easterly over the next few days. I have never known anything quite like it!!
  8. The GEFS 06z control at T180 is virtually a carbon copy of the ECM 12z at T216
  9. BBC Oxford weather at 1900 confirmed turning colder next week, very much in line with what the latest models are showing.
  10. GFS, ECM and ENS all show a trend to a Easterly at 240+, it's a trend that cannot be ignored!!
  11. It may amuse you but the thing is the GFS must have spotted something, otherwise why would it keep appearing run after run!!.
  12. Yep the Easterly keeps popping up in this time frame again and again. I definatley think there will be a Easterly, but whether it will be as cold as the GFS is makeing out I would say not.
  13. If any body lives near the Chiltern Hills I fully recommend going up there. A good 6-7 inches of level snow and upto 10 inches in drifts Beautiful!!!
  14. Approx 2 inches overnight and this morning in Oxford added to what was left from yesterday. Having a snow day but ssshhhh don't tell the boss!!!
  15. Looking good for Oxford tomorrow night. Our best chances for decent snow come's from cold air meeting warm air scenario, I shall believe it when I see it though. Fingers crossed
  16. Yes wind is very gusty here, it actually woke me up. Some larger flakes at times too.
  17. Would have thought Newbury is still C sthrn and as you say Oxford is only 30 minutes away. It's going to be tasty on the A34 and M40 in the morning I think. Iv'e got to try and get to work at Heathrow tomorrow, although hoping I can just take the day off and go down by the Thames with me camera
  18. Currently light snow flurries blowing in on the wind
