A "gave" is a word from "Jabberwocky", isn't it?

oh-my... I forgot all about that one.

Can't believe someone dredged him up and replied after all
this time.

Ya do know his name is an anagram? Right?

What? No takers on the anagram puzzle?

Of course, I already know the answer.

You mean the anagram botmeister? Whatever he's called these days. He's
done so many, I can't keep up (and I'm lousy with anagrams, which is
probably why I get caught by this muse on occasion).

Just a spelling correction to the title.

A lot of people have died since I first mooted this idea and where has
science taken us? The brink of discovery?

Alas....
....no!

So where did the tropical storms go?

It would appear that this run:
Nov 20 22:18
Nov 28 06:29
Dec 5 00:25
....produced the typhoons that run from the Philippines to
Vietnam/Korea.

Whilst there was something of an over run into this weeks weather
spell, the change was marked as the weather in the UK got warmer than
of late.

This one has finally produced an anticyclone: Dec 12 14:32
So this one: Dec 20 14:01, is likely to grow into one of the sunniest
spells of the month, except that anticyclonic weather is cold at night
it would add to the statistics beloved of metofficers everywhere,
record temperatures.

Dec 27th's spell at 14:48, is likely to provide quite a bit of thunder
all else being equal, so to speak:

On the 31st of December, the declination of the moon is around the 23
degrees north. Counterbalancing the angle of the sun.

That could do it. I'm not saying it will of course. I'm just happy the
typhoons have blown out for the moment.

Time to start preparing next years hurricane forecasts.

I just noticed this run:
Nov 28 06:29 Dec 5 00:25 Dec 12 14:32
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclips...hases2001.html

For the unwashed this is the code:

(I have to repeat this every so often as the more knowledgeable among
you tend to lack insight and find the idea of new ideas far from
ideal.)

OK, the wet weather in the NW Atlantic basin occurs off the UK with a
Low at the appropriate longitude and latitude off Iceland or points
south to Spain. Where the Low is is governed by the harmonic set up by
the astrometry that also times the phases of the moon.

And for the above appears to be when the phase is around 1:30 am or pm.
A little earlier and the weather is still wet but not so intense. A
little earlier still it is more like drizzle or mist, and yet earlier
still and it is fine.

The code goes roughly like this:

5 am or pm and it is anticyclonic.
1:30 am or pm very wet.
6 or 12 am or pm misty.

And this run of spells is for misty. Or rather they all just miss that
spell by 30 minutes. (Well last weeks and this weeks does. !4:32 is
more like an hour out. Except it is a weak spell in my not
inconsiderable opinion.)

Looks interesting is what I mean. What it is is something like half way
to another severe typhoon and the typhoons seem to drag with them a
series of large mag quakes. If that happens, the cyclones in the North
Atlantic will go north again and not break on Norway and dissipate. A
situation akin to a negative NAO.

So we have two half past misties and a half way to thunder coming up.

I would like to stay up and discuss this further but one has work on
the morrow and thus needs to retire and cogitate as there is no longer
time to do the thing properly and vegetate.


One must always allow time to vegetate although I hardly consider feeding
the mind a waste of time. I have learned more on the internet over the past
10 years about weather, history and many other subjects than I did attending
college and obtaining a degree, including all school prior to that. I would
have liked to gone into meteorology but the classes required to become a
true meteorologist are not something I would have enjoyed in the least, in
fact, I would have hated most of them. Ironically, I find weather to be the
most interesting of all my hobies, it's unfortunate that so much **** is
involved and one must learn so much useless drivel to become a
meteorologist. I am convinced that with a 3 month training course, I could
do the job as well as or better than many of those clowns I see on TV every
night, it's the guys behind the scene that have the tough job. If an
individual has internet access, there is simply no reason to pay any
attention to the local weather man as the NOAA forcast discussions go well
beyond anything that is convered on TV. In short, the Weather Channel is a
joke, although their storm stories can be interesting.

Speaking of the UK, what is the single worst storm you recall? It seems
that UK weather, for lack of a better word, is quite boring. I mean, that's
certainly not a bad thing but it seems rather predictable, where as the
Upper Midwest, where I grew up, is quite the opposite. I mean, the highest
point in England in just shy of 1,000 meters so I can't imagine the
topograhy plays a big role and you are too close to the ocean to receive any
severe winter weather. You are too far north to get what would be
considered a bad tropical cyclone.

I feel fortunate that I grew up in an area where we experienced all kinds of
weather, from blistering heat during the summer, as high as 40+ centigrade
to bitter cold, -45 centigrade. Not to mention the severe thunderstorms
during the summer which are the result of being close enough to Canada to
get the occasional shot of cold air, even in late June. The real severe
weather season starts in March though, I've seen temps of 30 degrees
centigrade on March 30th followed by terrible blizzards, no more than 2 or 3
days later. You get everything in the Upper Midwest, except Hurricanes of
course and I can certainly do without those! Only a complete buffoon would
want to experience a hurricane and we've seen plenty of those here in the
states, some of them have traded their large egos for their lives.

This might be an interesting link for you, learning what a harsh climate is
all about. The other side to this is I've been to London in July and found
the weather to be absolutely wondeful, temps in the low 20's, no wind and a
nice soft breeze. Something you normally don't get where I live in July! I
am in Kentucky now and the average high temperature in July is 31 degrees
with humidity levels around 50 percent, on a good day. On a bad day, 40
degrees with humidity levels in the 70's. As for British weather in the
winter, it stinks. I wouldn't mind your summers though, even all the
overcast days would be better than the heat!

JUST this once. I forgot all about those posts until our
