This thread has clarity, and I do understand , by the longer term nature of the Mad/Mod thread, that is why this one is clearer . but there are , so far, no Nostradamus quatrains being spouted, nor requests for snow depth in Droitwich south, at No 27 brewers drive! Thankyou Gents, and Sydney of course.

Just below Danbury Essex I've got a beautiful 4 inches. It's sticky and all the trees look magical

Half a mile NE of Danbury it's like Narnia!

The Rollercoaster of the Mod/Mad thread, is what I enjoy most about winter. this seasons opener, has been a corker. if fact, based on the entirely unscientific processes, of I have told nobody it will snow, have not bought any coal in, nor wild bird seed , in anticipation of a freeze fest . i anticipate a bitter cold winter.

Huge respect to @Tamara above although I do feel like Marlin being given instructions by Squirt, on the exit strategy of the EAC!

Sorry to hear about Mrs legritter,I hope,you get copious pristine snowfalls this year.

I am trying to upgrade and get netweather radar , but when I try to subscribe it says neither password not user name recognised. the user name and email is definitely me, so I assumed the password was incorrect but when I request a lost password it claims my email isn't on the database. any suggestions?

Totally agree Paul ,and I don't know how to phrase this tactfully. There are a new generation who have never seen tough moderation in the 'mod' thread, and it's noticeable they are the ones cluttering up with just chatter . its all well and good, until we get snow event - snow event?? What's one of those??- and that's my point I suppose, there seems to be a lack of consistency . I love the mod thread in winter( never post as I am not knowledgable enough ) but it's usually a fantastic read, and can have banter too, but not one liners . I can't be the only one who gauges the mood of the weather , by how active the thread is? its disheartening to look and see it's a load of nonsense .

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post. i don't want to be a killjoy,as this winter ( so far ) has been pretty dire, but can the mods please please PLEASE! Start deleting and moving , without warning, what are blatant chat , banter and moans from the model thread into the chat, banter and moan thread? its getting beyond a joke, to log on and see new posts , and it's full of chatter and nonsense ! And not a whiff of model related information. Cheers

Just a minor niggle, I can't seem to find a "go to first unread post " thingy, when I open a thread . Not such an issue when it's quiet but it will be when we all get 6 ft of the white stuff , countrywide. ever the optimist me

Sorry guys, I am looking for the archived first Strat thread or the earliest one available. Can't seem to find it, although I am on a phone - which probably doesn't help- can anyone link it for me please ?

70% colder, although like others I have 100% hope of cold cold cold all winter long!

I absolutely love it,and I love the atmosphere on here in the build up through winter. Last year was cack though all that promise with the October porn influence! wasted! However, if snow was 100% guaranteed we wouldn't get so excited.

Well It's made me stick my nose back in, when I don't normally bother till Sept and the coldies come out of hibernation. Although honestly, the prospect of severe heat is a bit scary, as today has been draining enough, although it's cooled down significantly now.

Was also a slow watcher ,back in the day. I remember Nick Sussex back then and many others. Be wary of mentioning Mr Farkin too much , he's a bit like ruplestiltskin...mention his name and he's bound to turn up. Him and his many alter egos.....davindra etc.

hmmm rain today doesn't seem to be working,nor nw radar....hysterical snow starved peeps over clicking???

honestly guys....snow can bitterly disappoint, as in not turning up,or it can really surprise by appearing 'as if by magic'. its radar watching and looking out the window time.

Someone asked yesterday for paint jobs,as someone who isn't skilled in any way at reading the models,and relies on clear interpretation from the main posters in here...... Can we have some more piccasos please? It really does make things so much clearer for a visual learner like me. I do know it's time consuming. Thanks in advance guys.

In defence of the mod thread,it never operates in the 'now ' it's always days ahead of current weather, the regionals will be where talk of the storm is likely to be,or the thread dedicated to storms.

may I suggest Dr Nick, popping a Prozac? or are you stockpiles under guard for the next week or so? I would imagine the NW community are in for a nerve shredding ride. will it? Wont it? you've got more than me! Ohh no I haven't,youve got a streamer! Zonal mild incoming...you know the drill!

Is it at all possible,that ignored users posts....can then NOT be seen if someone else quotes them? Some continue to feed the trolls,no matter how polite they may be,and as a consequence,even though I try not to read them,you still have to suffer. Especially when folks bold the inflammatory comments to then argue them. Trolls are trolls,even when they use charts to back themselves up! Please help.

I wish I could recall the exact year,but it was likely '92 ,or '93 ..an absolutely stunning hoar frost...everything was sparkly and beautiful. prettier I think than ,dare I say it.....snowfall!

Really pleased you have posted your forecast Steve. Here's hoping for a memorable winter 14/15.

Agreed also,please reconsider.

Well of course the daily star is a scientific font of all knowledge! So it must be true ! Good grief! May I suggest, you spend some time reading the very well informed posters on here,and evaluating the prospects of whatever this winter may throw at us from the guidance they offer. It's been said many many times....headlines of extreme weather,sell papers....even the Daily Star.
