 lassie23 theyve been chasing phantoms since November, time for them to hibernate

[Model Output Discussion - Spring Has Sprung]

 KTtom bank that, would feel very springlike with temps at 13-15c and sunshine !

[If you had to lose one of the following weathers....]

Snow definitely. Only ever get max 2 days of it anyway so why trade lovely warm summer sunshine for that ?, 

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

Squall line right now in Embra, absolutely lashing it down, and as it’s from the NE it’s loud (hitting windows at angles it doesn’t usually !)

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Lovely early spring / late winter day here, clear blue skies, warmth of the sun clearly there, spring is stirring

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

Beautiful day today, clear blue sky, felt the warmth of the sun walking the dog, spring is stirring. This horrow show of a non winter can do one now, Roll on summer. Lovely stuff

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Really not sure why some are still hankering for watered down cold this time of year, let’s get some spring sunshine and warmth and get in the beer garden !

[Moans, ramps and banter]

After a nice sunny day we’ve just had thunder snow ! (Couldn’t make it up !)

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

Just landed at Edi from London city in a storm, was a bit hairy coming down, could see the lightning 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 Weatherman_93 can feel the warmth of the sun out there today, lovely ... 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Will everyone be back next year to get excited over a few days snow or is there an expectation / realisation now that in an ever warming world we really are in a different place in winter than 10-20 years ago 

[General summer chat]

Summer can’t come soon enough !

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 raz.org.rain yep starting to feel th warmth of the sun now (just a little but it’s there). Lovely 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

So as expected pages and pages in the MAD thread on a low pressure Thursday which I’d likely to bring little more than a dusting to low ground across a relatively small area 

 ANYWEATHER 10 days away though

[Moans, ramps and banter]

@RJBingham need an amber alert that will 

[Spring 2024]

Hoping for a better march than last year, please god we don’t get another late winter SSW

[Moans, ramps and banter]

I know folks don’t seem like to like storms but that was exceptional last night (was here anyway) and far more interesting than a week of cold, dry, benign weather with an icing sugar dusting of snow

Are those the ones people were saying it was going to be a modern day '63

My personal favourite this time was when they started on about convening COBRA meetings

Its all starting up again in the MAD thread and once again its all FI stuff, 29th Jan and beyond  - its quite sadistic what they're doing to themselves.

 

It’s like watching tramps fight over a 3 day old kebab

Not interested at all if I am being frank.

For me it's about MBY, sorry if that's selfish. 

Most people would say " big deal " when being told there is snow up North.

Don’t forget (and you may not care granted) this works in reverse in the summer when the south gets long warm sunny days and it’s dull pish north of Carlisle 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

The GFS has come out of this looking good, the UKMO less so

[Moans, ramps and banter]

I see a lot of the snake oil salesman have now disappeared, from the mad thread in their hunt for likes, we await their return when one model shows blocking at T+300 to start their patter all over again 

folks like kasim and Cheshire freeze were spot on and such a shame they get shot down relentlessly for being realistic and urging caution 

I have said a few times the last few winters teleconnections are like chasing ghosts , time and time again, in the UK, whatever they say gets overridden by other factors upstream. Yes it’s great to study them but they only provide guidance at a broad macro level 

we are truly are in new style of winter  with AGW, may as well just accept it 

roll on spring 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Lol, the MAD thread has binned off this chase and is now looking to the end of the month which, apparently, was always going to be better anyway. what could go wrong !
