It looks to be pretty cold from the 1st January, i am liking the models, even though i would have liked it to be a week earlier -
Winter Thoughts & Hopes 2016/17
irishlad69 replied to Polar Maritime's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I really do wish people would stop going on about models, they are useless after 3 days, even that's at a push, models only go where the data that's put into them make them go. As for easterlies, no one had a clue that easterlies where coming in 2009/2010 until a few days before hand, so anything can happen Personally i will take it day by day, these so called forecasters like Madden, Bastardi, Vogan, they know no more than what we all do and that's why they never get it right, and if they do its a fluke, guess work at best. -

Winter Thoughts & Hopes 2016/17
irishlad69 replied to Polar Maritime's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
i find it interesting that people sill seem to think that computer models can predict the weather and what cold months followed by warm months or a warm month followed by cold months, if we look hard enough we will always find scenarios that we want to find but it does not mean anything really. Mother nature will always do what she wants regardless of what the computer says or what warm or cold months there is. My personal view is that two major factors predict what type of weather we will have and that's Sunspot numbers and the North Atlantic Current, and this year i believe we will have a cold winter but not so sure about how much snow. I have read that a scientist has predicted that the sun is not only declining in sunspot numbers but is also cooling and we could be in another ice age within 15-20 years, interesting. -
i do believe there are two major influences in the northern hemisphere, and they are sunspot number, and the north Atlantic current, just like2009,when there was the BP oil spill that disrupted the current and the sunspot number was 0 that year, what happened, a great winter. however this year the sunspot number is low, the current is going well which tells me the winter will be colder, but maybe not snowy.
-
i think we will have a cold Christmas this year due to the low sunspot number, whether it snows or not is a different matter
-
what is the most reliable model
-
I see a couple of the charts are going colder going into December, I know its a bit far out but its better than nothing
-
piers corbyn is never repeated on here because he is nearly always right, and he goes against the grain of the met office, he is a very reliable forcaster

irishlad69 replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I know what you mean and hope your right however remember the cold spell we where meant to get over a week ago, and 3 days before it all changed, and it only lasted 24 hrs rather than the 3-5 days that was stated a week before -

irishlad69 replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
is it just me or from the 22nd/23rd December and according to both ECMWF & GFS there will be a big battle between the warmth and the cold, although I don't believe in the charts that far out, due to the fact the say different things but they are going the same direction this time -

I am not sure if you all believe in this sort of thing, but I was going for a newspaper at 0800hrs the sky was bright red and then from no where hundreds of geese was flying over head, and I mean that literally, hundreds of geese, I have never in my life seen such a large flock, it was quite eerie as they turned south westwards, maybe I am just hoping this is a really good sign -

I agree with you there, and as far as I am concerned all the other charts change every day, so whats not to say the CFS chart is correct or not correct for that matter -
