Idiot. Wow, I see Garveys intelligent insight is ever strong, even across many forums! You really are special arent you Garvey. Hows the therapy going by the way, did you get in touch with the guy in Teignmouth? |

Met Office have written it off, too. As per my thoughts weeks ago - makes you wonder what took them so long - farting around with the St Jude stuff, I s'pose http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/pd...s-temp-NDJ.pdf |

Amazing that neither you nor St. Piers have mentioned the B-word :: BLIZZARDS yet. Perhaps that's down to the Southwold Society's expedition to the Sun on the night of last April 1st. The trip certainly started well; that Weather action blather was a most potent form of hot air and the good ship Southwold Society Wayfarer (SSW) soon built up steam. And as you and St. Piers predicted, the temperature dropped as the SSW left the Earth's surface and moved closer to the Sun, the source of all the BLIZZARDS. But then something went koala-shaped. Without the majestic hand of Weatheraction to guide the mission it took a wrong turn somewhere. It started to get very hot, even though it was night time. We couldn't figure out why, but soon we couldn't see a snowflake anywhere. Then there was a dangerous outburst of radiation.. We had thought your space weather bulletin said everything was safe but we must have been too stupid to understand its subtle nuances. All the instruments started to malfunction. They even began to suggest the radiation was coming from the Sun, which is pure foolishness as we know thanks to your gaffer that the solar surface only produces BLIZZARDS. Then in the absence of your majestic leader, even gravity began to go wrong, and everything got very heavy. To cut a long story short, we had to abort the mission, and we never got to prove your head honcho's hunch about the BLIZZARDS. Fortunately there's always next year. We beseech you superb Weatheraction chaps. Please send the awesome one, or even your good self, Captain Cannon to lead our quest in 2014. Scientific history will be made, if only one of your dynamic duo can step forward to lead the charge... |

Just ridiculous was the outcome. |

"Written it off" is a little strong. After all, the chance of the winter being cold (if one equates being in the coldest 20% to cold) is given as 15%. And the period covered does not include February. -- John Hall "He crams with cans of poisoned meat The subjects of the King, And when they die by thousands G.K.Chesterton: Why, he laughs like anything." from "Song Against Grocers" |
