Will be there, but will be missing out on a few drinks as my last lecture is at 6

I enjoy maths. I have to say Maths, Physics and Geography would be my specialist subjects at GCSE. A, A and A* projections in them- I was wondering whether you needed A* in Maths and Physics to be considered for meteorology Nick?
Also, I'm interested into how Geography plays into it? Is having Geography a bonus or not needed?
I'm not Nick, but I can say that GCSE'S results were of secondary importance to getting good A-Levels in Maths and Physics. At the moment Reading requires B's in both, but that is subject to change. Geography is a bonus I would say, not a requirement to get on a Meteorology course. But it is good if you decide to go down a more geophysical science route.
The maths can be a bit of a grind at times, but when it all starts to link together as the course goes on it gets a lot better.

Just seen some rotation on a cell that just passed through Reading.Sky is still very threatning hopefully the cells to our south may give us a light show
Hopefully we have some video of that!

What is the plan? Ian has just gone to get Owen. Whats the plan for when they get back?
-
Thats the one. The swines haven't let me upgrade mine, so I will be slumming it!
-
Any other folks flying out early on the direct BA flight on Tuesday?
-
Few pics from the chase, including Pauls nemisis
Craig
I didn't know Paul doesn't like towering cumulus, every chase must be a nightmare for him! He should probably go to Nebraska more often.

I've decided on a hotel for the first night in Denver for those arriving a day early who want to stay in the same place -
Baymont Inn and Suites Denver International Airport
6805 N. Argonne Street, Denver, CO, 80249 United States
It's got decent reviews, and has an airport shuttle too. Room costs are around £47 a night
Ian
But more importantly a free hot breakfast!
-
Any news on a hotel for Denver yet? Once I have done that I can sort my ESTA then relax!
-
I believe Ian is trying to sort something regarding insurance, so no need to worry just yet. No pressure Ian!
-
I will be. Only up the road in Reading so I can be there whenever.
-
Sharing a taxi sounds like a decent idea.
-

Lightning being reported in Reading, not sure how accurate that is though. Just light rain here in nw London
Hearing a few rumbles here, so the report is probably correct.
-
Is it too early to start counting the days?
-
Oxford is almost perfect for me! See you there.
-
Nice 1 Mate - See you out there and you will enjoy this trip like no other holiday, in 8 years I am still to meet someone who said it did not live upto expectations.
With regards to gemming up on Storm Chasing, a really good way might be to send Craig a Pm and he has the Stormchasers Handbook on a PDF File which I am sure he will send to you if you ask him. This has everything about chasing and Supercell Storms in general and is a Must read!

Nick F done a great guide a few years back which I found useful

Pleasant surprise of a thunderstorm here in Reading. Lasted about half an hour. Saw a few flashes of lightning and heard some reasonably loud thunder.
-
Not sure on any of my exam dates, but pretty confident they would be over by tour 5, if it was run. So I would be keen.
-
Hey all think it is about to kick off here in Reading - I am sure there was a rumble and a flash! can anyone else comfirm. Very wodnerfully dark and mysteroius!
Several flashes and bangs! Hopefully more coming up from the south
-
Wahey! We have action here!
-
Kids from school today so no chasing for me - Seen enough this year anyway
You can never see enough!
