    Feels really odd here at the moment, plenty of Daddy long legs, blackberries in abundance already, seeing my breath in the evenings, it’s almost as though Autumn is already knocking on the door, apples ripening, misty mornings and worse than all Halloween items in The Range!

    Is the dew point/temperature low enough to see your breath yet?

    Oooh Christmas 🎄 Love it. Its why I don’t mind the months leading up to it. January-March, however? That’s a slog

    Yep, January to March are my least favourite too. End of August up until the end of December for me every time. Although I am partial to the first warmth of Spring shining through.

    I don't see how this really relates to Autumn?

    It doesn't. But, as there is no Winter thread, and it would throw this forum into meltdown if one was to create a Winter thread in July, I'd say posting it in the Autumn thread would be fine to most posters.

    Some do get 'uppity' and thats upto to Mods to deal with but some people are genuinely intrigued and on a public forum they have the right to ask and i will stand by that fact 👍

    Let's agree to disagree then, as far as I'm concerned, personal preference should be off limits for discussion.

    I think its a perfectly reasonable post/enquiry from @sarahng as a reply to a post on a public forum, it is up to the OP whether they choose to reply is it not?

    The reason I ask "does it matter" is that people on here seem to get all uppity about other peoples opinions and preferences. If the OP replies, that's fair enough. But, I stand by the fact that it doesn't matter why the OP prefers the darkness, they do and that shouldn't matter to anyone else.

  6. I probably don't belong in here as I don't hate the Summer. What I don't like is excessive heat like we had last summer.

    Anything in the low to mid twenties is fine in this country. 

    Obviously, give me the Autumn chills and Winter snows and I'll be bouncing off the walls!

    Exactly. It's not as though I don't like a bit of cold (I do but I prefer front-loaded winters and especially December snow, which I was lucky enough to see this winter) but I'm no longer overly bothered by it. This week will at least be interesting after 4 or 5 weeks of nothingness but I like to see this week's weather in November - a bit of a starter before a Dec main course of cold

    I don't understand why people are so offended by showing mild charts. How is that debate, balance and properly weighing up the possibilities? With all the cold charts posted newbies would think any particular cold pattern is nailed when other output is ignored (and you can't talk about the milder options/models and you can't highlight the hypocrisy of saying "GEM is a gem" one minute and then either a) ignoring it the next run when it shows milder weather or b) saying something like "it doesn't handle these situations very well"). Dare post a mild chart and you are trolling or winding people up? I mean, what the hell. No, it's not trolling, it's posting a chart from a model in the model thread

    But the echo-chamber nature of that thread, encouraged and facilitated by so many, then usually leads to a load of whining and dummy-spitting when, surprise surprise, it rains instead of snows

    It's a terrible thread nowadays. Not to be taken seriously anymore. There used to be some extremely good posters there in the past. A shame really.

    Didn't there used to be split model discussion for up to 5 days to focus on the more detailed (likely) outcomes in situations like this. I'd be more interested to hear what's happening in next 72 hours quite frankly  in situations like this rather then a discussion on fantasy island charts for 8-10 days out that hardly ever verify

    This 100% ^^^

    Problem is, most on here want to be chasing FI charts most of the time, which if I'm honest, is pointless when the models don't even agree at <72hrs.

    It's awful isn't it? Getting absolutely sick of BOOOOOM charts in the mod thread which are always 8 days away. All that about Getting The Cold In etc is fine but pointless without the precipitation to go with it. If it isn't going to snow I'd genuinely rather have record breaking mild. If we can't get snow from these setups I think I'll stop bothering looking!

    Same here, always looking for something in the wilds of FI that never comes. I used to go into the regional threads when snow was on the cards, as you used to get a more relaxed and informative description of what was to come. Alas, all the good posters have now disappeared from the regionals and they're now a ghost town mostly.
