  1. How would a mini ice age really effect us? I know it would be much colder than it is now but how would it effect the country? After a while I'm guessing we'd all become accustom to it all like in the bitterly cold winters in Siberia, the snow and cold don't really bother them and there's not really any food deprivation unless you are too poor to buy some.

    we only grow 20% (or there abouts) of our own food in the UK anyway, so that is a mute point. What would be worse is the lack of imports and/or raids made in them, else adverse weather making the transport of it un-economical anyway, so the cost of food will rise.

  2. the quietness in here speaks manny words. gfs is just awfull

    Really?

    so from a model POV the run is poor quality and its output is not correct against other model data and not indicitive of the forecast?

    or is it just not predicting what you would like to see?

    two very different views on model output and in this thread, its validitiy rather than its wanted output.

    *goes back under stone*

  3. No ,but the longer this type of pattern carries on (Hopefully) the better. The latest Since 2007 craze has BEEN a warm March and April only to followed by wash out summers. We seriously need funny enough a long hot summer, I'm hoping we have the below average temps through till late March, Wet April and early May, Followed by A nice gradual incline to HP and warmth From late June through till September, With the odd Cracking Storm thrown in.

    Now there I agree I think, as I seem to recall as a 70's/80's child that the seasons were indeed "seasonal", now they all seem a bit *fudged*

    What I would not give for some text book seasonal weather (or should that be story book?)

  4. Disagree 100%.

    I posted yesterday, that the CFS was the first model to advertise - with conviction - the broad blocked pattern that we're currently experiencing, and long before any other model. The detail is different - which is to be expected - but, importantly, it remained resolute as to a blocked pattern forming. The next model to pick up the pattern was BOM-ACCESS.

    The CFS has been very consistent with regards to its prognosis for March. Now, as I posted about a while back, consistency isn't necessarily accuracy, but it certainly demands more than cursory dismissal. Usually, the CFS displays huge intra-run variance - as one would come to expect from a LR NWP model, but it's noticeable how this has very much been lacking, in favour of this consistent signal.

    Have to agree (that you disagree), all models need to be taken into consideration, they all have good and bad points, but it is seeing patterns and discerning the data from the noise that matters.

    Be interesting to see the later run output(s) when compared to current runs.
