Issue day 8 Forecast day 9:

It looks like another one to me but it may have just been this:

2012/12/08
5.1 M. @ 19:00. 7.2 S. 144.0 W. S. P.N.G.
5.7 M. @ 16:35. 7.2 S. 143.9 W. S. P.N.G.

Pairs and triples like this occur with the demise of a large storm.
But this aftrnoon before the sky filled with lower cloud I saw some
pretty extensive "Mares' Tail".

Cold snaps, frosts, heavy dews and Mares' Tail (high ice cloud in a
blue sky that looks like whisps) all indicate tropical storms. Mares'
Tail clouds, the most severe of them.

This was a pretty large example of that phenomenon.

is still running true to it's earlier form. And it doesn't even break
cleanly. Sunday/Monday at midnight it comes apart. In the North
Atlantic it will look like a pretty divisive break up of whatever is
in it at the moment.

But I think the chart tomorrow for the North Atlantic will be full of
pink mice. Occluded fronts that mean lots and lots of quakes.
It beats me what the hell they mean with this thing:

Just playing with the new web pages probably.

There have been lots of complaints with the Met Office's output over
the last few months. For some reason they always seem to generate
problems when they set about fixing things that ain't broke.

Talking about breakages I just cobbled an old drive and got back a
collection of their tropical storm data which they deleted from their
online site some time ago. So that was an unexpected gift. Not that it
exceeds what is available on the Unisys site.

So...
On with the game.
