    It's just dawned on me why this is not working out for snow lovers. Its just too windy: the showers are moving too quickly to drop much at all over any given area.

    Unless these showers merge and get much heavier, there will be flying toys everywhere in the morning when it sinks in that it's school/work/etc as usual. If you don't believe me, look at any weather radar in animated mode.

    'To' is a preposition which begins a prepositional phrase or an infinitive.
    'Too' is an adverb meaning "excessively" or "also.

    It's really not that difficult!

    Yes, and don't even get me started on their, there and they're!

    i do two.

    My absolute fave is: "Bare with me". (For me, it always conjures a mental image of someone speaking with one ass cheek hanging out!)

     

    (If you call 'fave' a jarring, teeth grinding wince.)

     

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who is annoyed by the sub C grade proper O-level grammar displayed by posters, and some are the revered ones (you know, the ones that give the cold forecasts everyone hopes for, even when they don't verify).

     

    Net weather is no different to any other forum in this respect.

     

    Still hey-ho, year on year the GCSE grades get better and better -- more and more A-grades! LMAO.

     

    The best one is when you get so fed up with repeated homophone and homonym errors by a poster and you tell them -- then they say "sorry, typo".

     

    Typo? How does that work? Of course! Your finger slip just happened to replace a word with completely the wrong meaning, but the same sound as the word you should've used?

    That happened every single time you used 'there' instead of 'their', did it?

     

    Oh yeah, and the spellchecker can't detect the spelling mistake because there isn't one.

     

    Not that this is even a grammar thing. Grammar is several levels above putting the correct words in the right places!

     

    Be grateful. At least there's something to separate the educated posters from the ones who are not.

    :diablo:

    I'm shore of that. :nonono:

    Here's how I decipher that.. A "failed Easterly" is one that the models showed on several runs but never came to fruition? So the models "modelled" it wrong? I don't see how increased solar activity caused it to be modelled incorrectly?

    I can't remember yesterday, so 2012 is out of the question. But, did the MO ever forecast one for it not to appear? Because if they didn't, then it was just poor output from public charts that sent most people up the garden path.

    Right on!

     

    "failed easterly" indeed! The weather doesn't 'fail' - it is what it is.

     

    What does fail, however, are mostly people's expectations living up to the reality that we are an island in the Atlantic. Weather from the west will always dominate, and anyone who expects anything else will surely be disappointed.

    Over and over again.
