    Yeah all the good charts again at a billion hours away, the point is until they actually get below 96 hours and actually verify then they may aswel not be there. Yeah good to look at but what’s the point unless for once it’s the real deal or the big long road to another fail. Anyway I ent a doom person so yes bring it on along with the snow shovels 

    That's 1140 years do the models go out that far

    Shows you doesnt it, that was an epic once in a generation event and still only just enough snow to cover the laces on your boots.  Plus my father in law thought that was the most snow he had ever seen in Preston, he is 85.  (I have said this on here before and it may be that he is forgetting an event or two, but the broad point still stands)

    I think i am rightin saying 63 and 47 didnt deliver much in the way of snow for west coast of our region.

     

    Dont get be wrong Im not winging about 2010, I loved it.

     

     

     

    Don't think 63 brought much snow , bitter cold yes ,47 brought a metre of lying snow to the furness peninsula  with drifts up to first floor windows

    This 100%   I wouldnt complain with a nice bitter easterly, but a 2010 northerly is the holy grail for me.   I expect to never see anything like that again, but will forever live in hope.  

    Even that only delivered a couple of inches of snow here (maybe less?) but the depth of cold, the ice in the ribble, what an event that was.

     

    We got 3 inch

    I appreciate the difficulty of moderating but sometimes it might be better to let the chips fall where they may, the main point of a model discussion thread is to get an overall sense of how the community is responding to the models as presented, it's our version of the forecast discussion that goes on in a real forecast office before they issue a product. And those can be fairly rambunctious, it's not just a bunch of greybeards puffing on pipes and quoting Bjerknes on the Eckman spiral. 

    Hey Roger, is that Bryce canyon  in your avi ?

    An interesting post from Fiona, but as you've said, absolutely nout to do with the models.

     

    My sense would be that general sharp adjustment from reasonably mild to cold and this being the first major cold blast of the winter would be what is driving the horses to their behaviour rather than any magnetic field suggestion as described above.

    They already have these (I speak as someone much subjected to them in the past) but there more for people who persist in unwanted behaviours / actually try and get a rise out of people rather than mere OT posts, although I suppose a stricter enforcement of OT rules might help people get a grip in the model thread. 

    But you're bad ,unlike me who's an angel of netweather

    This is Fiona's post. 

    As I have explained on pm, it really didn't have any model info in it, and was far better suited to the winter thread, the regionals or here. Or it could even have been put in its own thread - animals and weather or something like that may get some interest and other observations (feel free to start it). 

    The team are massively over-worked right now, there have been over 100 posts reported today alone, and countless other things going on away from those. We're trying to keep things on an even keel in what has been a fractious model thread at times, and frankly it's been hard to keep up. 

    Why not bring in post restrictions  in there ,might make people be careful  about posting

    Do you know what the really annoying thing is? Last time we had a split vortex and polar temps (it was -14C with blue skies), I hadn't made the observation about horses drinking more when cold is on the way. I spent 2 weeks desperately trying to get water to them after every supply in the place froze. All I remember about that was spending 2 hours a day with a kettle trying to unfreeze the tap and pipes at the stables.

    Invest in a roofers blowtorch and gas bottle it what I use
