Default Medium-range forecasting

The medium range models are a continuing source of light entertainment. The 00z

ECMWF: Bitterly cold easterlies setting in.
GFS: Very mild SW'lies
GEM: Very strong, cold westerlies with polar maritime air

All that can reasonably deduced from that lot is that, on the basis of current
knowledge, the evolution of the weather pattern that far ahead is
unforecastable to any useful level of reliability at present. Long may that
state of affairs continue :-)

I can't work out how to post to a newsgroup with Thunderbird to replying
to you Norman.

Would I be right in thin king that Weatheronline expert maps (the only
source of detailed weather charts I know) have been pulled today to
scupper anyone using them commercially as its the first signigicant
weather of the winter?
