Forecast Model Discussion Bingo

[Mike Poole]

Have we had;

Phasing (of lows) i.e. phasing drama

West-based negative NAO (joyless phrase if ever there was one!)

Iberian heights

Holy grail

Zonality (pet hate as it isn’t a word)

Postively-tilted / negatively tilted (low pressure system)

Trough disruption

Slider

 

[Mr Marky Marky]

The next set of Runs are crucial.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

true mike, I remember when I played fb scrabble, zonality isn't a word

[Metwatch]

These are are ones I posted in October in the early winter thoughts thread, but they are more for before winter:

 

"It's always easy to predict a mild winter these days"

"You can't write off winter before its begun!"

"i've got a gut feeling this winter might be the one and it is looking more interesting than recent ones"

"Not to take it too literally, a big IF but this is what (insert long range model chart) is showing"

"If It's going to be mild, might as well be mild and dry"    This one I do agree with though

"A big improvement though still way too far out"

You all are absolutely smashing this list. It's now at the point I'm having to use excel on my laptop instead of notes on phone to check for duplicates

128 words now! Please do keep them coming. I shall begin working on how to get these either as downloadable cards or a set mixed up lists. Or somehow even keep a running total on this thread with quoted message of the word (for verification perhaps). Don't know.. Still not got that far

 Mike Poole Phasing, Holy grail ¹and West based we have..now including the NAO option too for added difficulty! Zonality I'll add to the list as it's a popular term unfortunately.

cheers buddy!

 Mr Marky Marky the next runs being crucial we have already

gut feeling

Adding these for definite... the others will see if I can break those down somehow, especially the "not to be taken literally/ jff" which many say for hope casting

Sofa?? Stella definitely.  Shannon entropy  - that's a very sneaky one! Loving it. Quite possibly going to be the hardest word to get so far apart from the most Eagle eyed members

Any others needing adding to list? Although surprised just how many we actually know and use

[phil nw.]

Have we had snow shield

[Vortex3929]

 phil nw. yup. Already on the list

[KTtom]

Random chart with the only words.. "Not without interest"  

[Frosticle]

Potential.

More runs needed.

Upgrade / downgrade.

The way of the pear.

BOOOOOOOMMMMM!

Stella. (The word is stellar).

Game over.

One for the bin.

GFS/ECM is notorious for (insert own personal bias).

Shortwave.

[Dancerwithwings]

When them word’s or a word is used  “it’s gonna be a *washout* tomorrow ” when only it’s known and we only have drizzle….tut tut

[Polar Stratospheric]

Quite the show now here in SE Scotland. Edinburgh Airport reporting 54mph gusts circa 7.50am and Charterhall Aerodrome on the other side of the lammermuirs reporting 71mph. 
 

In the last half hour I’ve watched whole trees (Lawson Cypress) sway from side to side, aerials shaking like a leaf and a window slam shut in my face. Never seen anything on this scale and the worst is yet to come.. 

[Wyggles]

Here are my disproportionate ‘Bingo!’ pet hates (sometimes in the one post):

Shortwave

Long fetch

Hair drier

Uncle Barty

Blowtorch

Greenie

 

[Metwatch]

Not exactly sure where this best fits but it's a comedic aspect relating to model names, so thought i'd post into here; a less serious thread relating to models. This is in Derby

more runs needed. 

[stewfox]

GFS doesn't handle these things well

[Mcconnor8]

 stewfox to be fair there isn't much the GFS does handle well
