I also like the ability to look back over previous runs as the software
cleverly matches VT with lead time. Time-lagged ensembles anyone? Massive
difference between 06Z run and 12Z run.
I feel like my life has been transformed - for the better :-)


I've just noticed that changing the run base time keeps the same
verification time: magnificent for comparing inter-run variability.
Take the 12z GMT verification for the most recent runs:

06Z Sat: 980mb, 00Z Sat: 989mb, 18Z Fri: 981mb, 12Z Fri: 985mb

Interesting the location was on the Yorkshire coast up until the 06Z
run this morning when it's now over the Lake District now - and now
slightly more intense gradients, but as Jon said earlier, you can't
beat 1mb intervals for getting the wind up, pardon the pun.
