@TheSnowDreamer@GavinPartridge If this was to verify it really could be fun and games particularly if there was a cold pool to tap into further east in Europe.
@richardtraut@GavinPartridge@MarkVogan I should know the answer to this question but what are the possible consequences for the UK from this large swing ?
@metoffice And how far do your records go back relative to the existence of the planet ?. Answer - A very short period but you chose not to tell the public that important fact. If you had any credibility at all you would put your statistics into context but you deliberately chose not too.
@WQJim@theRSGB It's when I read posts such as this that I realise how dim I am !. I hope you're well Jimbo. The guys at Weatherquest are carrying on your great work.
@GavinPartridge That can only mean two things, mild and wet. Wait for the usual total flip as always happens. (I hope I'm wrong and I'll come back begging for forgiveness). Good work Gav as always.
@reephambird@danholley_@stormbell Dan Holley and Chris Bell reunited again if only for a short while can only be good. Two great guys and meteorologists. Jim Bacon guided you both to where you are today and he will be proud of the result. Thank you JB for everything you have done. You are the best.
@GavinPartridge That's worrying as I believe ECMWF are considered to be one of the more reliable models for medium term forecasting. You said it yourself Gav, getting the anticyclone to retregress to Greenland isn't that easy or simple. We mustn't give up yet. Keep our faith in Mother Nature.
@GavinPartridge As you have forecast correctly yet again, Winter has arrived early in Norway. I keep an eye on the live webcam at Finse railway station and they have a full blown blizzard at the moment with plenty of laying and blowing snow........Lucky them !
@stormbell It puts our increasingly extreme weather events (caused by global warming) into context. I hope all your friends and family come through it unscathed.
@danholley_ The rain gauge in my garden at Dussindale, near Norwich has recorded just over an inch of rain in the last 24 hrs. I'm sure the farmers and growers will be both relieved and delighted.
