    They are an upgrade?! The colder weather came closer to 0hrs this morning than it was yesterday.
  2. Beanz
    Well, this is model output not a weather menu
  3. Beanz
    A UK centred high can produce some quite cold and frosty weather, very much typical of winter - I think the models have been favouring that solution for a few days but for some unknown reason it’s been largely ignored. Sometimes I wish people would accept the model output for what it is, not trying to bend it towards something they want. After a period of cold, possibly a bit anticyclonic weather there is nothing to say things won’t move favourable from there.

    There’s plenty of stuff in the reliable, just not the weather you want. Other than that, the models are still kicking out and that’s the reason we’re here
  5. Beanz
    Absolutely! Nothing more ridiculous than people posting 300hr precip and snow accum charts - and the same people still do it every year.
  6. Beanz
    Possible yes, but not probable

    Jeeze, the model output bingo card is looking good this evening. “We need ECM to agree with UKMO” “it’ll be a halfway house” “Game over for another year” None of which are true…
  8. Beanz
    Never a better definition! Haha
  9. Beanz
    No, and besides December is one of the 3 coldest months of the year, so it’s very much a winter month. Had half the amount of sunshine when compared to March - how else would define a winter month?
  10. Beanz
    Nonsense, winters are not defined by there being snow
  11. Beanz
    A 306h precip chart…useless
  12. Beanz
    Looking at the models…I’m not sure what trend is pointing to any extreme snow, more like seasonal and wintry for a few days, with the Atlantic still hanging about to provide some challenge.
  13. Beanz
    I couldnt remember, but possibly
  14. Beanz
    There are trends, but the longer those time periods which you’re analysing the tends within extend, the less reliable or ‘probable’ they become. A wise man once said in a model output discussion: “The stronger the desire to see snow on the horizon, does not bring clouds to the sky, rather it brings clouds to one’s judgement of the models”
  15. Beanz
    I think saying ‘probably’ for a 312hr chart is stretching it..
  16. Beanz
    Nothing is EVER nailed on at that range, come on.
  17. Beanz
    Everything always looks interesting when it’s 3 weeks away…

    So you drive 2 4x4 vehicles…it seems you DO agree with me in practice, if not in in theory
  19. Beanz
    Disagree with what? I got stuck overnight on the M11 - I had winter tyres on the car, it didn’t help me. Staying home or at work, would have helped me. A 4x4 with appropriate tyres, would have helped me. Winter tyres are great, but in a foot of snow your average saloon car will still get stuck, no matter what tyres it has on.
  20. Beanz
    The best advice is not to go out in the car if the snow is a foot deep. Winter tyres are great, but they won’t stop you getting stuck if the cars in front are blocking the road. A car capable of navigating off the road with AT tyres is far more useful in this weather.

    According to my MetO weather app, it will stop raining…mid Tuesday afternoon, for a few hours and will continue again until next weekend. *sigh*
  22. Beanz
    Oh there’s plenty of snow I can assure you. Not sure which ‘snow charts’ you refer to, but they were wrong. 2cm and counting….
  23. Beanz
    If you say so. Noting that the BBC don't do their own forecasting, it’s provided by Meteo - they just broadcast the information they are given.
  24. Beanz
    You realise that the models are used by almost all forecasting agencies? What you describe is not a remarkable coincidence, it’s normal procedure.
  25. Beanz
    I doubt it bothers anybody really, unless you were born before the 1950s in the U.K. Pretty much the entire world uses Celsius, so any international viewers watching the U.K. weather (can’t be many) are likely to be very familiar with Celsius being the international standard of temperature measurement. The US is the obvious deviation, but why should the rest of the world change to accommodate them?
