I know Paul used to post on here for many years, so many will be sad
to hear he passed away last night :-(
It was announced on his website today:-
http://www.rutnet.co.uk/pp/gold/viewgold.asp?id=7


.... Very sad: Paul was a stalwart of the early days of this ng, and I
was most pleased to put the entry relating to 'his' High in the FAQ. As
others have noted, this is a fitting tribute to him. He seems to have
kept his interest in 'the weather' right to the end which is some comfort.

Martin.

I liked the first quote I saw, let alone others within the article.

"An oil can flew past the window. As we were on the first floor I
found this interesting"

Lovely sense of humour

He would have enjoyed the current build up of an easterly. But we will
always think of him when that winter high sits over Switzerland.

I would like to add my name to those who remember him, and are
saddened by this news.

I will always be grateful for the help he gave me with my research.

Cheers, Alastair.

This is sad news. I certainly remember much of the banter that went
on in the early days of the group.



Oh dear, my sincere condolences to family and friends.

I echo your thoughts Andy, he was NG gold.

A couple of weeks ago I looked at his webside and I thought "how long do you
continue this work?". It was not work, but a way of life that gave him great
satisfaction, I guess.

May he rest in peace.

What was your version Martin? This is the present:

"The Bartlett High", in honour of Paul Bartlett, a luminary of this
ng, who used to put his experience of forecasting to the test by
publishing a reasoned winter forecast for all to see. As Les Crossan
has noted (also a stalwart of this ng), this has come to be regarded
as a 'slug' - nothing moves it, not even extracting a pair of dividers
and skewering the said beast as it sits dominating any particular
synoptic chart!

Since Martin created the FAQ, I think he will have written that. What it
doesn't seem to say going by that quotation, is where the Bartlett High
is located. Someone mentioned Switzerland, but my own - possibly
fallible - memory suggests that the classic location was Iberia.
