I do agree with you Gary - all the hype for days now not only
from the MO but many 'so called experts' on this ng .A little
rain this am, no wind to speak of and now the sun is shining

A very POOR show by all those F/Casters from the MO and others
(incl those on this ng, many who appear to be ex-MO bods) All
those involved should have lotsa egg all over their faces

It may help if somebody in the know (if there is anybody) to give a
detailed but a NOT an 'over blown' technical explanation as to what
didn't happen Vs what was F/casted - something we can all read
and understand - anybody got the 'balls' to do that ?

This week:
MO issues severe warnings - nothing much happens.

Oct 87:
MO doesn't issue severe warnings - big storm, lots of damage.

Result:
MO is caught between a rock and a hard place.

The track of the low has *always* been open for dicussion and the
warnings mentioned this. Of course the mejia only report the headline
grabbing big figures and ignore such critical facts.

Don't forget all the hype here on this ng Dave - only have to look at
all the postings referring to this. As far as the MO is concerned,
they 'call it out' and it doesn't happen and then again they DON'T
'call it out' and it happens - as somebody else on another posting
in this ng put it, not much has changed since 1987 but we have
spent probably £billions on the MO

pay money, and go elsewhere in the world to find interesting weather
these days

i pulled back my curtains this morning and saw the rain hitting my
window, which faces north, and a very light breeze

i'm a weather enthusiast, and severe weather does claim lives, it's a
fact.

lots of people would say "phew i'm glad it didn't happen"

it would be a very sterile, and it would be very boring if the weather
didn't really do anything for much of the time. Months and Months of
boring conditions throughtout the summer, even winds touching on gale
force seems to be elusive throughout the entire 'winter' season

Two frost nights so far this 'winter' and not a single sign of wintry
precip

I mean should we seriously think about, let's not call it 'winter'
anymore?

April-October = Summer
November-April = Autumn

that's it, two seasons now

A few years ago (2000 I think?) summer was so awful I felt we had just the
one season - autumn. Our climate isn't called temperate for nothing.....
