[The Winter emotions and moaning thread]

Morning,

I can't for the life of me understand why so many people are getting upset over the weather outlook

We are a small island on the side of the Atlantic and we get really what we get.

The forthcoming series of winter months may or may not produce the freezing sub-zero temps that most people seem to crave.

A word to the wise, be careful what you wish for, my thought's are we are going to get more than we thought we would. The usual forum experts are thinking the same....but it takes time.

If we tapped into the cold pool like UKMO were suggesting last week, our snowy spell would of been a "flash in the pan", let the cold pool get bigger, and the dam will break

im mor confident now about the up an coming coldsbel now the met r on side along with gp. As james madden's forecast well i wouldnt pay for that trash. That's just my view and not of this forum.

And your right, the trends, and not the single runs have given a semi decent picture of the end of the month.

Still unsure as to why folks seem to get all in a tizz over one or two runs

We will have to see how the rest of the season pans out, for me I will miss it as I will be back in the desert for another session of killer heat......anyone want to swap places

thanks frosty.

one other question is i've been watching the thread over the past while to see what people are saying about the upcoming cold spell why does everyone seem to not want to count the bom model when it has been quite constant in bringing in the cold where other models seem to be all over the place but when i read things about the met office saying the cold spell is on the way and looks like it could possibly last for atleast a few weeks surely the bom has been the model that has shown better over this past while when other models are really struggleing might it be the case that the bom has things right while other models are getting a bit over eager with the little things

As mentioned before the BOM is modeled on the UKMO I believe, with a few tweaks (aussie ones).

.....it's been a mad global year for weather !!!

I had a thin layer of ice on my car 28/08/12, in North Yorkshire........that came as a shock after nights !!!

[Winter 2012 / 2013]

I'm just hoping for a better winter than last year that's all, anything else would be a bonus.

Could not agree more.

This time of year my hopes of extreme weather types are raised. But, they were dashed somewhat last year.

Still, all to play for and much more for me to learn and understand.....no better place to do that than here :-)
