Get yer snow chains on
Get yer snow chains on
According to the Piers Corbyn forcast which was posted on here a few weeks ago, today, (1st Dec) and tomorrow, would bring very heavy snowfall to britain and we would have been in the grip of an extremely cold snap since last weekend

Re: Get yer snow chains on
I bet he is hoping people won't remember what he said, but it seems there are a lot of companies paying him for his forecasts. The problem is he seems to have a double tailed coin, so every time he flicks it to decide on his long range forecast it says... cold!
Best regards
Dave

Re: Get yer snow chains on
It seems now the met-office have stepped down there are a select group of forecasting 'bodies' that clearly want publicity, this is one of them I suspect. They are usually a group of people who really don't care much for the accuracy of the forecasts, but want the publicity. Usually people associated with these have big egos, but lucky for them, the press have a short memory, and want a good story, so will keep on publishing these forecasts regardless of their success rate. These people do need to be demonised, as the Met-office were for their slightly inaccurate forecasts. The Met-office in my opinion are far more superior to any other amateur/only for profit weather organisation out there.
However I would be wrong to tar every forecasting company with the same brush, because sometimes it is the press who twist the words of a forecast which wasn't meant to be interpreted that way.

Re: Get yer snow chains on
my prediction involves laziness and a fence.
there will be weather at times
cant see the atlantic pattern dropping until January though... it might be cold at times, but its still atlantic and a darn sight better than last year at this time.

Re: Get yer snow chains on
I have used some really big binoculars and looked up really high in the sky with them and not a snow flake in sight! Atlantic pattern remaining till January....excellent, might just have to eat the Christmas dinner off a Musa leaf then...only three more weeks or so for them to stay nice and green!

Today was supposed to be dry and sunny, as of this morning's local forecast.
Pissеd down with rain all day.
If they can't get the 3 hour forecast right, what chance have they got of the 3 month forecast??

Re: Get yer snow chains on
I'm sure it was that numptie who forcasted -20c for the South Coast?
Thank God he wasn't correct,but where do they get those forcasts from.
At the moment it's raining and chilly here and only +10c.

Re: Get yer snow chains on
Corbyn is a strange guy when it comes to weather forecasting. No matter what is likely he just predicts extremes, why?....because it sells him media and advertising.
