Yes, while the immune system is preoccupied with fighting the coronavirus bacterial infections can take hold in the lungs. This is actually one of the principal ways measles results in death - secondary bacterial infections.

It's snowing here. Quite heavy, wet snow but it is settling (at least on the grass).

Spring 2020 | Moans, Ramps & Chat
Sir Mim replied to Seasonal Trim's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I dislike hot weather and although some way off I'm dreading the onset of summer, but that being said I can't wait for Spring and some change to this endless Atlantic-driven setup. A few days of calm, settled weather is what we need now. -
If you had to lose one of the following weathers....
Sir Mim replied to Lauren's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Those who voted "snow" aren't too far from having their wish granted... -
I hope help comes quickly.

You're right about the rain on that squall line - it hit us around an hour ago and brought some very heavy rain for a short time. Winds weren't too bad though, not much stronger than what we'd been having since around 1am or so. One other note about this weather - it's really warm at the moment. I'm actually sweating with how clammy it feels. Hopefully with that squall line blowin through it might herald a cooler airmass for us soon.

Even with the consistency of the last few runs? I get the GFS has a reputation for overblowing these dartboards, but one of these day it will verify.
-
We may well have a monster low pressure during Wednesday next week. It's more than a week away still, but the GFS op has been so consistent these last few runs I think it may well verify.

Sir Mim replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Same here. I get the desire to see some snow, and even some blustery winds, but to wish 90mph gusts on swathes of the country??? Errr count me out. -
I haven't seen a single flake of snow all winter. All I've seen is a hail shower last week, and that's it. How I loathe this miserable little rain-soaked sh*thole of a country.

February 2020 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests
Sir Mim replied to Roger J Smith's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Utterly nondescript, both milder and wetter than average, but not record-breakingly so... 5.9C and 101mm please -

It's quarter-to-three in the morning, in mid January, and I can hear birdsong outside. Is that normal? Surely that isn't normal. -

Sir Mim replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
We may as well forget about this winter now. Outlook is pathetic past the weekend, no sign of that euro high shifting (revenge for Brexit? Joke!) and with the daylight hours starting to open up now the window for deep cold is narrowing rapidly. The good news is we have six months or so of torrid misery courtesy of another record-breaking summer to endure (maybe)... -
Model Output Discussion - Happy New Year!

After the dreck we've had so far a few days of frosty weather is better than nothing. -
Model Output Discussion - Happy New Year!
Sir Mim replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I've noticed that just now. I think we have to accept the heights to our south as the new climate norm. Climate change will push things north-wards, and that means we can kiss any decent cold winter weather goodbye. We're faced with a future of either Atlantic storminess, or the pallid dross we've experienced so far this winter. I give up. -
Wonderful memories of a fantastic spell of winter weather, sadly never to be repeated in this godforsaken country.

Model output discussion - into Christmas
Sir Mim replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Come to Daddy Waaay out in GFS FI but, hell if there's a straw to be clutched I might as well grab it with both hands. -

January 2020 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests
Sir Mim replied to Roger J Smith's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
4.5C and 85mm please. Hoping against hope the month can be salvaged by an easterly in the latter 2 weeks... -
Winter 2019/20 | Moans, Ramps & Chat
Sir Mim replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Yes but there seems to be a locked-in dry, mild spell coming in, with high pressure remaining dominant to our south. This isn't just one day's run, it's consistent as far out as 384 hours in the GFS. This seems to be the case for the GEM (240 hours out) and ECM (240 again) too. There is no sign of any cold weather in any of the major models for the foreseeable. -

Sir Mim replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I think I can safely say this winter is already a write-off. December will end v. mild, I see no signs of change into January, and by the time we do get some cold weather (probably late February...) winter is already almost over. Roll on Spring. April sunshine and showers is pleasant enough I suppose. -

You can pay to replace my damaged fence panels then in that event, like I had to pay to replace them in 2013/14. -
These latest GFS outputs remind me of last December - forever tempting us (well, cold lovers anyway...) with cold charts just a little further out in FI. And we all know what happened last year don't we. Will this verify? Nah OK, but surely this has some chance? Lol no. Maybe 2020-21 will deliver some festive cold.

I said this December would be a disaster for cold lovers didn't I, and I see no reason to think Jan or Feb will be much better. British "winters" are a waste of time. -

I give up on winter. It looks like another unsettled and increasingly stormy December. What's the point? Every year it's the same old story.
