http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/ and http://metcheck.com/
should hang their heads in shame and be removed from the internet immediately after their appalling Winter Forcasts,which lets face it were a traversty ,a joke,and a complete load of bull. If i remember correctly they both forecasted the Coldest Winter in years with heavy snow and freezing conditions,and what have we ended up with,well where i live in Sussex erm 2 days of falling snow and one day of lying snow,although to see that i had to climb to over 600ft asl. Not exactly severe is it!!!!!!!,infact it's heading towards the Mildest Winter ever!!!!! Of course you can see why they do it year in year out,free publicity in the Mainstream Press.They will be hailed as Gods if it comes off and most people will forget about it if it doesn't. But it annoys me,what about all the kids up and down the Country,most i guess have never seen much snow,given the current run of mild Winters,being brought Sledges,because their Parents read in the papers about how cold this winter was going to be.. I know of 2 people who have done that,even though i did try and tell them the Headlines were bull. Now as we can see how plainly wrong these independants were,and always are,why can't something be done about these people . Rant over!! Rupert |

If you feel this way, why give them free advertising by including hyperlinks

Damien responds.
Rupert: If i remember correctly they both forecasted the Coldest Winter in years with heavy snow and freezing conditions, One of them did - that was The Weather Outlook. But it annoys me,what about all the kids up and down the Country,most i guess have never seen much snow,given the current run of mild Winters,being brought Sledges,because their Parents read in the papers about how cold this winter was going to be.. Agreed. Believe me though, 2002 *was* worse. At least now I had tasted the bitter taste of capitalist Conservative Party mild winter before.:-o :-( :-( I know of 2 people who have done that,even though i did try and tell them the Headlines were bull. I know of more. Oh, and don't forget the Met Office;-) :-o: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...ook/index.html Scott: But an article on the evaluation of a severe winter forecast that never was is never going to make the same news pages that a potential severe winter will in November. I cannot honestly remember ANYBODY forecasting a *severe* winter this year. Can you? I know that The Weather Outlook and some others DID forecast a "severe", per se, winter back in the autumn of 2001 for the coming winter of 2002, hence this is where my beef directly comes from, and that Brian Gaze was *ready* to repeat this in November 2003 for the then-looming 2004 winter, in spite of what he will say. Metcheck should and HAVE apologised, and I think I discussed this with Brian via e-mail, can't remember what he told me though!:-o Nath's comments are also correct. D. |

dont remember that fiasco what happened
Think this current "2005" fiasco - and winter is not even over yet!:-o - times by 50.:-o :-( Dig out some of my old posts about this. I.e.: start with my very own post on this very forum: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...dcf14a991e5c62 and do some Archive.Org searches as well. They are usually VERY productive, as well as educational.:-) D. |

I hope newpapers like the Mail expose these people for the charlatans they are. But an article on the evaluation of a severe winter forecast that never was is never going to make the same news pages that a potential severe winter will in November. |
