sunny, warm and delicious in the east cotswolds. v little activity over 2 days. just light rain and a bit of electrics. this place is better for snow!

[southern ireland]

just wondered why southern Irelend/Eire weather outputs across tv, radio etc are left alone. i realise that it's a different country but it's a neighbour and a beautiful one at that. the sw tip of norway is fit for coverage on all bbc forecasts but Eire almost ignored. maybe it's a money or political issue. but from where does our weather come? in winter, mostly a more westerly direction. it first lets rip on s ireland ie an almost realtime indicator that  a storm or whatever is about to hit the UK. the internet helps for access to whats going on weatherwise in Eire but I for one would like the bbc to give a nod to our fantastc neighbours. mine's a guiness

[Model output discussion 13th Feb onwards]

my first post as cotswoldsnow having moved from london after 24 years (i was londonsnow then). having scrutinised the models it's no catwalk out there for friday especially. where this blighter goes is still guesswork and another forecasting nightmare both in terms of track and timing but the beeb have admitted all this so we'll see. cheers cs
