I hate being the bearer of bad news, I really do.

We've all seen the undoubtedly most premature - in every sense of the
word! - headline. Now, the following toppler has appeared on the
WetterZentrale:

putting an end, once again, to the snow dreams of Presutti, Pratridge,
Sarre, Snow Hoper, Easterly, and countless others. However, with
pathetic little comments like:
"I think we can safely say that for consistency, the GFS is all over
the place."
the community is, at the very least, trying to add at least SOME degree
of optimism to the whole scene.
Oh well, at least the Slavs will be happy with that set up.:-)

But that is very little different from the ECMWF chart for that day:

Yet by Thursday the same model is forecasting this, with some retrogression
of the high visible:

I agree with others though who indicate the air over E Europe is very mild
ATM so any easterly isn't going to be a classic, at least early in the
period.

Thanks Mike, that cheers me up a bit.:-)

Plus, remember how quick 1947 was to cool down after an also very much
mild early-mid January - even though I wasn't actually there?

Do you agree that the people over at The Weather Outlook discussion
forum once again have egg on their faces though, if just temporarily,
against what I am suggesting?

Look, they're young, they're eager, they're inexperienced. They're pointing
at the wrong charts. - It's called premature gesticulation!
Sorry Lawrence, but someone's got to do it ;-)

LOL!

1. Brian Gaze is about early-mid 30s, I recall him *or somebody else*
once saying on the website forum,
2. Will Hand I'm not *that* sure about, but, looking at his website, it
gave the impression that he was a little bit older.

I would hardly call these two men "young" in the negative, almost
condescending way that you have employed that particular word to your
use. They remain great forecasters though, in spite of their former
forecasted flaws, and whatever age they are.

Ermm - I don't think I meant them.

The majority of the members on TWO aren't 'young' actually. Desperate for an
easterly yes, but not particularly young.

It's a myth I tell ya ;-)

If there were emoticons I would now be using the "embarrassed" face
picture.

However, instead, you can have this - :-) .

On a MUCH MORE serious note though, Andrew Bond has just posted this,
regarding the current coming "cold snap", which, in itself, deserves
another :-( :

"GFS, but the input data (BUFR) from the satellites such as MODIS is
also provided to the other modellers. As such, I wouldn't be surprised
to see some of the others follow suit :-("

For heavens' sake can we please just talk about the weather and not about
bloody internet weather egos which seem to have taken over things over the
past few years?!!

Apologies for my abruptness but I hope some share my feelings!
