  1. i have not gone through this entire thread due to the fact i have to work for a living and also juggle a life around this weather obsession of mine. However having glanced through some of the posts i find it surprisingly depressing to see a lot of people chucking the phrase GW about without obviously having the faintest idea what they are blithering on about. If your going to argue about the science of GW then please a little research might be in order, though judging from some it looks like they have not even "Googled" the subject!

    I blame the media.

    Sorry for the rant fokes........ :)

  2. wait until pressure is not changing much then use either the National bu better still your local BBC weather forecast when they show a msl(mean sea level) chart, and set it to what shows in your area.

    No it will not be absolutely accurate for your msl but its the best way to do it and be able to relate to weather charts shown on the TV

    Thanks a lot for your reply John, you are always very helpfull!

    ps- i wont do it just yet then!

  3. Hi i went ahead in purchasing the ws3600, so far (touch wood) its been fantastic! However i am a bit stuck in trying to find out my relative air pressure? Please could someone help or point me in the right direction? I am in peterborough aprox 10 mile above sea level. Sorry if its a dumb question!

    thanks

  4. In terms of performance, this is going to be pretty much the same as the ws2300, but with a touch-screen for an extra thirty quid or so. For a similar price you could get Oregon Scientific's new(ish) 'hobby 100', or whatever it's called; It is PC compatible & can take several remote sensors.

    :)P

    cheers for your swift reply i was after a station that gives me dew point as the ws3600, does the hobby?

  5. I do think that this winter will continue the trend of last years, i believe that we are now in a weather cycle where the "seasons" start becoming seasons again! This winter will be much like last years colder then the "GW even larger teapot" fanatics make out. Over the next few years i predict a cooling trend, this winter will be slightly colder then last years but nothing to go mad about, as to snow and the such, i will leave that to the experts..................lol

  6. I must agree with you, while it has been cold we have only had four days of snow although in my opinion it is the best winter since 2001.

    I have to concur, this winter for my area (to date) has been very encouraging! we had more frosts in Nov then we did in the whole of last winter! While the white stuff has been sparse compared to a decade ago, the snow at the end of December saw us get a good covering, the best we have had here for years!

    I am certainly enjoying the cold and frosts ;)

  7. The SST analysis is at a more encouraging point now than it was in late October 2002, the acid test is to see what the position is at the end of November.

    As GP says, the Bartlett pattern that we are in now will eventually break as the jet pattern changes. Synoptically I am more encouraged by this southerly pattern than a traditional Bartlett sat over Southern Europe pulling in South Westerlies.

    Ian, please stop using words like encouraged, as coming from you i am starting to get ramped up lol i use your posts as a grounder so as not to get too disapointed, and be realistic!!

    Now all we need is WIB to say theres a chance..........

    (then we really will need a new definition of ramping) <_<
