I defend everyone's rights to their views, indeed I have fought all my

dear at times, but I'll also defend what I feel to be right. Melting
snow is really not the saddest sight in the world. It was just a silly

I regret allowing myself become embroiled in this bickering and
helping destroy yet another thread on the newsgroup.

My own very recent bereavement has shown me the value of friendship
and the very positive aspect of my own mother's life in seeing how
people mourned her passing. If I could only make a fraction of that
positive impact or influence I'd be happy. I realise I've let myself
down and probably her memory too right now and I apologise to her
memory and to the group. I thought your interjection and your apparent
censorship of Will's use of language and sentiment an extreme reaction
to something very innocent.

Your reaction was also a silly thing to say - in my honest opinion, of
course. So was mine.

Spare this effeminate junk for the soap operas,this guy Will can stand
before students,as a qualified meteorologist,and with a straight face
teach them that the temperature does Not go up and down daily due to
the rotation of the Earth and that I lived to see him do it in this
weather forum and without objection may be among the sadder things in
life.

The loss of a loved one brings out a strong sense of what matters,you
quickly forget that the loss of an astronomical heritage is just as
strong with some individuals and the very fact that a person here
could question the cause and effect between rotation and daily
temperature fluctuations reflects on all of you and that is the only
fact worth considering.

Still believe in 1465 rotations in 1461 days as the majority of
scientists do even with Feb 29th approaching then say goodbye to
weather,climate and just about everything else worthwhile.It is not
just that people are wrong,they just don't get it.

When will that be then? A walk round the Nature Reserve this morning and
there was six inches of cover and snow on the branches. Went sledging
this evening with my daughter and the boys. Perfect conditions in the
mountainous region of S.Essex at a heady 80 metres ;-). Gonna take a
while to shift I think.
Dave.

Hi Dave, great stuff! Never too old to sledge, what fun it is, especially
with grandchildren, I'm not jealous of your snow (always get snow
somewhere on Dartmoor every winter guaranteed), but I am of you being a
grandad, I'd so love that, are you listening daughter, get on with it!!!
:-)

You're right it will take some shifting with the wet-bulb falling below
zero on Wednesday and clearing skies, allowing a crust to form. Nice one!

Cheers,
Will

Sounds nice, but it's not all sledging mate !


In a previous post I highlighted how boring the weather was here in
Winchester and this last spell has simply confirmed this. To be fair a
couple of superb days last week with bone dry and beautifully clear air but
when the front arrived we got the usual snow/sleet which had all gone by
Sunday morning. (Incidentally I thought the MO forecast for last week was
fantastically accurate, apart from the usual OTT warnings).

Since then the worst sort of winter weather; cold and grey and damp!

However the reality of this newsgroup presently is that you don't need snow
to go sledging, being opinionated is sufficient!

Surely watching it melt away knowing that zonality was
coming would be even sadder?
At least this is only a temporary incursion of mild air for
you, and really just a partial thaw for me.
I fully expect there still to be full snow cover here
(albeit very depleted) by the end of the week.

There are many sadder things in this world than what Will has referred
to. My wife lost a wonderful, full of life, uncle this week to an
unexpected heart attack and this one thinks a layer of melting snow is
sadder.

Time to grow up Will, You really are getting carried away by your
fetish and you are, basically, talking rot.

It was just a turn of phrase, not meant to be taken literally!
I enjoy Will's enthusiasm, but all you do is take everything at face value
and attack him.

Agreed, but perhaps he can be excused for overreacting on this occasion,
given that this must be a very sad and stressful time for his family.
I'd like to extend my condolences to Dawlish's wife on the loss of her
uncle.

Blimey - even the avuncular Mr Whyte loses it. I was always impressed when
he made Mike Tullett lose the plot and post a rant and then peaceful Will
killfile him. Is there some sort of award we can give him? It seems as
though over the past 5 years he's managed to accurately **** off 80.23% of
people on here. Or was that his forecast accuracy? Can't remember now...

Surely there are worse things than hyperbole in a posting to a weather
newsgroup? It's perfectly obvious that Will didn't intend it to be taken
literally.

I'm not sure what a comment like that tells us about your own life.
