But tell me Will. Why did you waste so much time providing such a perfect
example?


Isn't that rather a frivolous comment? Only by painstakingly recording and
now reproducing the forecasts can they be assessed, something that nearly all
of us, including me, cannot be bothered to do. I would have said this whether
or not the forecast had been correct, or, as has turned out, completely wrong.
I say, "well done, Will".

I think the humour of my comment was lost on you there Tudor.
The reference was to the word "cynic", not Will's analysis of the forecast.

Have a good Christmas.

Jack, I got what you meant and had a bit of a laugh !

Thanks too for your comments Tudor. One reason I leave my old forecasts up on my
site is so that if necessary people can check back, and as you say it's the only
way to measure performance.

Mild, drizzly Christmas cheers,

Will.

TWO :

Amazing!! In metaphorical terms this isn't the equivalent of an earthquake
tonight, this is the equivalent of a meteorite smashing into the earth and
wiping out all life. We COULD be looking at the most severe spell of wintry
weather since Feb 1991, or even Jan 1987. I'd been forecasting a change, but
this is starting to go beyond my initial expectations. In fact to borrow
Will's quote from last winter, 'the just in time economy' may well struggle
to cope in the run up to Xmas if the snow comes down like the models are
suggesting it might.



Im still waiting!
