It has come to my attention lately ,that several members of this happy
breed seem to take grave exception to those of us who attempt making
long
range forecasts,
well ,I for one, actually enjoy reading most of 'em,even the south
London
Piers attempts !,.
If there are enough mugs around to pay good money for their ravings well
so be it,but why do people get so upset because they try ?.Most of us
have
a vicarious streak in us ,which needs feeding every so often,so keep up
the good work lads( I say lads because women don't seem prone to this
phenomena)
Unashamably I now look forward to Wills ,Philip Eden,the Met Office,Old
Moores Almanac,and any other brave soul willing to put their necks on
the
line so that I may daydream about the next blizzard ,heatwave ,or
whatever
turns you on.
Thankyou and goodnight

Cheers Ron, I enjoy producing them and I take pleasure when they
occasionally come off! This winter's has already gone wrong (though not
the
informal amendment), but it went wrong in the right way (for me).

I still reckon it will be a historic winter!

I hear rumours of a sudden stratospheric warming event in forecasts.
If it does come off I wonder if it'll propagate downward like last (?)
winter and fiddle with the troposphere.

And yes I agree with you Ron: it's enjoyable reading the various
forecasts even if a) some are naff and b) some people seem to want to
verify everything under the sun.

Making LRF is bleedin' well nigh on impossible and when you see people over
on TWO not so much a s making a forcasting but purely guessing-well then it
gets silly, However professional forecasters all well and good I mean Will
and Joe B are both professional men and will try and factor in so many
reasons for their conclusions-good luck to them.
