This is all so sad, if not unexpected as he has not been well recently.
Paul and I go back a long way. I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s
the phone calls wehad, discussing teh five day outlooks. He was a great snow
enthusiast and loved his sledging. A damn good long range forecaster as
well, one of the very best. He had his own statistical methods and would
rarely go out on a limb. Whenever I got depressed with a mild outlook, he
used to say "chin up Will" it ain't that bad.
rememebr teh WMO snowman thread, paul was brilliant with that and in those
days we always got a good repartee going.
Rememeber the forecasting competition he and I had, he always used to do
better than me and then there was the offer of pints in the local etc etc.
oh dear tears are welling up, must stop. rest in peace my friend.
Will

....and now is the time that "chin up Will" is appropriate. I know you were
close and my condolences to you too, Will.
