    It's farewell from Michael Fish

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    As a weather nut from the age of 7 (the winter of 62-63 started me off!), I'm very sad to see another broadcasting icon hang up his magnetic clouds and retire. Thanks, Michael, for so many amazing memories, and I hope you get the chance to relax and enjoy whatever awaits you. Weird to think that soon after I started University I was reading a Fred Hoyle book about the coming ice age - now look what's happening!! It's all too confusing ! Best of luck, sir...

    Just measured window ledge 2 inches currently (city centre) still falling ,lightly though. All that is from tonight, obviously not huge amounts but looks great and very orange with light pollution. I think Lincoln/Grantham will have some really decent totals.

    From pithers and snizzles we now have a proper streamer in Chilwell at long last! Maybe 2 hours more to come - first for yonks and a first ever for me at -6C! Reminds me of the first dumping on Boxing Night 1962 :) So far nearly 4" (don't get me ranting about centimetres) from zilch. Regardless of Friday/the weekend, this'll do me! Looks wonderful and quiet outside, as does my large Jameson's inside...

    Popped into my garden yesterday mid-afternoon to savage an out-of-control bush while the mood took me - weather heavily overcast, gloomy, 16C. Suddenly the cloud broke to a brief sunny interval with an effect akin to opening the oven door - temp. rose 7C in a few seconds! Extraordinary sensation...

    My slight worry now is the potent cold is getting put back with every run, it is now in line with Met Office thoughts re- wed onwards, a few runs ago on some models it was progged earlier, will future runs now start backing the Met office text forecast in terms of longjevity on subsequent runs?

    Yes. But only a run or two before that it was a week on Saturday!

    Tut tut mods feel free to remove I do not post on here much prefering to sit on the fence and watch from behind the scenes and leave it to the most experienced on here,i do feel that the mod thread is fast becoming the south thread,when a person from the north west comes in and gets slated for commenting the north west is gping to have loads of snow,i do feel the mods need to get a hand on this it is very much becoming imby yet again.Thanks

    Clearly the mods have it all on to 'police' every post, but it's a right royal pain scrolling through all the dross to find a knowledgeable/interesting one ABOUT THE MODEL OUTPUT! If I'm posting this in the wrong place, I hold my hands up, but is there any way to build a filter into the forum so we can select (if we want to) a chosen few posters who we know usually talk relevant sense?! And (off topic) if I see 'anomalies' spelled 'anomalys' again, I fear the consequences...

    <the type of alluring GFS output we are currently seeing in FI may become more and more plausible sooner rather than later

    .

    <all bets are off as stated in the extended period.

    <we could do with treading water in GWO phase spacing 1/2 right into the first week or so of the New Year so that the indicated amplification potential is maximised whilst negative frictional torque longevity sustains the strength of the Azores High. ..

    <could it be that the amplification signal being picked up in the last week of this month leads us to simultaneous timing of vortex demise and flip in the NAO from the persistently + signal we have been seeing... early in January?

    <There are dominoes to fall that need a little luck (for coldest outcomes) to get to that Havana - but the retrogressed Pacific pattern and quieter Atlantic profile represents very promising progress at mid month on the basis that further vortex assassination has re-commenced in good time after that annoying blip. Hopefully the troposphere/stratosphere relationship (allied with the atmosphere calling in a favour for us) will do the rest....

    Very light and sleety snow now. Temp up to 1.1C, dewpoint 1C. Radar suggests only maybe 10 more minutes of this. What next? Still looks pretty dark to the West. Guess it'll freeze hard and some will stick around before Round Two on Friday/Saturday/Sunday...

    Current temp 1C, dewpoint 0.9C. Moderate snow in Chilwell, still. Radar showing sleet imminent. As for GFS? Just hope it's barking as wildly up the wrong tree as the other models think!

    Correction: radar showing sleet NOW. Mind you it showed light snow for 2 hours before we got a flake last night...
