Default 18Z GFS slows it down

Is there any point commenting on the models until Monday?

It'll all likely change again tomorrow

I aint' going to waste my time looking at them, until people can be a
bit more sure about what's going on

The hype over the weather next week is starting to become a bit of a
joke now

If it all turns out to be anti-climax, those people that built up
their hopes, will probably need a 'depression' hotline number !!

Let's say we're talking about something potentially interesting
happening next Friday.
Start seriously looking at the models on Tuesday (That's a reliable
time-frame)

I think the 'reliable' time-frame must be reduced quite a bit during
times of great uncertainty
for obvious reasons

At this range.. the Met Office are bang on, as usual.
A quick mention of the possibility of snow later on... and that's it

None of this, working out who get's nothing, who get's rain, who get's
snow
It's too early.... the models change every single day
