  1. Sorry peter - that was meant to be a post for Gavin mainly - I keep forgetting that only the last post actually appears when you quote a thread. Where have you got yours? Is it different places completely? Or different locations in your garden? (and do you have them running to 2 PCs?)
  2. You can get an all singing all dancing one for 30 quid, and for 100 quid a pretty decent one with wireless, etc. and software.
  3. Gavin - don't you think the time has come to buy your own weather station?
  4. Though it does have us in a rather dry patch compared to the rest of the East!
  5. Do you think the flow is strong enough up here? Charts I've seen suggest it's too slack from the NYM northwards.
  6. This must win some sort of prize for "overreaction to what was clearly a lightheated one-liner post" of the year". Have a look at the whole exchange again TEITS and I think you'll see.
  7. I don't know why they gave him the time of day. Obviously a troll, but when I dared say so much in the MO thread, there was the usual chorus of complaints from the usual disingenuous bunch, accusing me of some form of racism.
  8. WHat's your take on the Southern event, GS? Think it'll do the usual adn slip further S into the channel/France? Or is a foot of snow imminent for the coast? I'm hoping we might get a surprise trough and heavy convection and end up with loads again, like before when the attentionw as on the S, but we ended up with most!
  9. I don't mind the S Coast getting a decent dumping - they have to put up with pretty awful snow chances most of the time. I think we'll see something, but once again the convective potential looks like being watered down from what was forecast. I've never known a winter with such poor convection. we've had next to nothing!
  10. Those automated forecasts are not worth the pixels they light up TBH - not worth bothering about.
  11. Actually the trough was clearly on the FAXES from at least 72 if not 96 hours out. But it got largely lost as attention was being paid further south.
  12. HI again GS... I have a feeling we could see some on Saturday but I remain to be convinced about Sun/Mon... seems to be like the strongest feed (and hence hte proper snowfall) is for the Wash southwards.. up here we seem to be slacker. Or am I reading this wrong? TWS - any thoughts on Sat/Sun/Mon? Is my thinking wrong? (It usually is!)
  13. Looks moderate to me most of the time. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rmgfs843.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rmgfs903.gif http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rmgfs963.gif
  14. "astonishing depths", "the army", "COBRA"... seriously, are you just on one massive ramper-trip? Seriously, a bit of measure might not be a bad thing! LOL
  15. As usual convection doesn't show up too well on GFS - the South has some persistent snow on Sunday morning/pm. Are we looking at similar amounts too from convection?
  16. He's not talking about anything being marginal in terms of snow falling. He's talking about snow lying.
  17. Boo! Hiss!... I'm ready for some warmth and time spent getting the garden into shape! Buggar off snow and cold!
  18. Eh? Lovely spring warmth would bring cheer to most, I would have thought.
  19. LOL - half your posts suggest "binning" runs. Either that or calling on COBRA to meet! As others have said, no reason to "bin" anything - several options are on the table and UKMO has never bought the extreme cold of other models, so it has hardly flipped that much.
  20. Ah! Can't help you there I'm afraid. I'm a lecturer at Durham... but very definitely not in maths! LOL
  21. Still poor output for anyone looking for some nice spring warmth and the chance actually to enjoy some gardening and outdoor activities ; looking better for those people who still want cold/snow even at this late stage. We'll probably end up in no man's land with a cloudy cold E'ly/SE'ly, given the way things tend to go.
  22. Where are you headed? I don't want any more snow. It's spring, it felt lovely today in the sun, great to be back in the garden getting things tidied up... I want more of that, not a week lost to cold and snow.
  23. Poor charts tonight for early spring. Certainly if you enjoy warmth and getting into the garden now that winter is over, the models after next week aren't looking good. Given that the mild weather is nailed on for this week, it's a case of hoping that not too many flowers start budding too early. Plenty of time for models to change of course, but lots of agreement on Northern blocking as it stands unfortunately.
  24. Which lucky buggers are going to get that big clump in the NSea? My bet is Newc. I think we'll just miss it here.
