Joe 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. |

Some of you in the SE have my commiserations :-) http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm Will Hand (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) --------------------------------------------- -------------------------- 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. 0.4C Dp 0.0C 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! Tony |

Some of you in the SE have my commiserations :-) 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. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl 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. -- John Hall "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."

: What an unbelievable pathetic response to an innocent post! Dawlish, you're unreal! 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... Richard |
