Been a bit dull on here of late but certainly some entertainment on TWO
forum:- quote
"Morning.
Yep, it looks like a plunge of continental absolute zero air is going to
affect us"

.......That'll be -273.15 deg C then! Brrrrrrr.

Dave, 11.20hrs, 0.5C, light covering of snow in shade, melted in sun before
air temp was above freezing!

I've been a bit of a lurker on TWO recently and have no allegiance to it,
but I did see that thread this morning and think you've taken it a bit out
of context. Now let's not make them seem too foolish but one member was
reading a UK map of accumulated precipitation mistakenly as a temperature
map and the areas where no 'temperature' was shown brought this (jokey)
comment:

"Morning Rob. Can I assume from that temp chart that central Southern
England has no temperature Is that absolute zero? Should be OK for snow
then "

Followed by:

"Morning.
Yep, it looks like a plunge of continental absolute zero air is going to
affect us"

The smiley faces that were present denote that this was a joke!

Don't know why I'm getting so defensive about this, I've just found the
model output discussions on TWO recently very interesting and don't like to
see them put down!

Regards,

Jeremy

Is there an emoticon that means "accident"? Could be very useful.

I was going to point out the same.

I also tend to agree about TWO model output discussions. Though the
TWO forum can be frustrating at times, they seem to have cornered the
market for cold weather enthusiasm. Admitedly this is often
unrealistic and over the top, but I do miss some of the excitement at
wintry potential that used to happen here on usw and seems to have
been tempered (or transfered?) recently.

NE London, 4.4C, this morning's light covering of snow now melted.

Yep, apologies to TWO forum, which is funny at times. Nobody likes a smart

Dave. :-(

Lol. Cheers

I suspect perhaps it's because it's now late Feb and people are
now fed up of winter, even though it has't been a particulary
eventful one, and are looking foreward to spring. Plus, if this was
early Dec there would be talk of a possible severe winter, now this
cold spell can't possibly last more than a few weeks before
the inevitably warmer spring weather comes along.
