The presenters are representing a *huge* majority of people in the UK
who


are sick of the cold for this winter. You aren't. It's as simple as
that.






Why do all your posts get personal?

Come on give us your scientific views on the latest situation and why?

Odd. You criticise the presenter for what you see as a failing in not
agreeing with your minority view about cold and I criticise you for
criticising the presenter's viewpoint which represents the *huge* majority
of that of the rest of the UK. Somehow, to you, that's personal.

What's the probability of disruption due to this coming change of pattern,
Will? Not the outside possibility of disruption, which is always there in
such a change and which is what most of your comments are about, but the
probability?

The ensembles certainly don't suggest anything particularly disruptive for
the vast majority of the UK over the next 10 days. but they do suggest
milder and the vast majority of people would swap this cold for what's
coming. The presenter was absolutely right in reflecting the country's
viewpoint. The possible rain and Atlantic-sourced winds certainly don't look
disruptive for most and it really will come as a *relief* to most people.
Not to you, but we all know that if it's not cold, you're not a happy bunny.

================================

You're right I'm loving this *dry* weather. Don't care about the cold at
this time of year, it can even get warmer if it wants as long as it stays
*dry*. OK it's snowing up here now but the air still has a dry feel with low
wet-bulbs. Will heavy rain and wind really be a relief because that is what
could happen down here with 985hPa lows close by. And then there is the
renewed risk of flooding, it won't take much you know. And then there is the
risk of further heavy snow further north with sub -5C air predicted to hang
around. I fully expect yellow snow warnings to be issued early next week
after a fine weekend which I will enjoy, as it will be DRY.
