Merry Christmas MT and a happy and healthy New Year to you.

M.T. Cranium

Thanks very much and Merry Christmas to all of you, I enjoy my time on Boards and there's some chance of getting over for a visit (would be my second one to Ireland) this coming year. We may be having a bit too much weather in the next few days, but whatever comes, I find it very interesting to follow and the banter is exceptional (at least yours is).

Happy Christmas MT ... First thing every morning, while I'm waiting for the kettle to boil, I peruse your forecast for the day and you're usually pretty spot on. Well Done!

I thought you were irish living away from home, are you Canadian? Maybe you could be lucky enough to coincide your next trip here with a boards meet up, I'm sure you would be the guest of honour.:-)

Merry Christmas MT! Your weather reports have helped me decide whether to drive any of my classic minis or not! Still rain free so far

MT, Merry Christmas. Thank you for the work and posts, hope you have a peaceful Christmas and great new year.

A big Merry Christmas to all the other posters on the weather forum too. Thank you for helping make what this part of the woods is.

M.T. Cranium

For the poster who asked and anyone else who wondered, born in Birmingham (UK) with name you know (Peter O'Donnell) from mother, forms don't indicate father's name, hence can assume some if not full Irish background, gained the other name some may know (Roger Smith) through adoption and those folks decided to emigrate to Canada when I was a wee lad, so have lived most of my life in Canada, but always with some Irish connections. My best friend in high school had Irish-born parents who also emigrated to Canada a few years before my parents, and since my (adoptive) parents both passed away rather young, I spent a lot of time with that family in my late teenage and early adult years, so almost an Irish upbringing pasted onto the other layers (these people were not making it up about being resolutely Irish as I discovered when I visited Ireland in 1978).

Due to my rather independent existence here (a polite way to describe my virtual blacklisting from Canadian weather circles, wonder why eh?) I have considered myself as somewhat of a stateless person throughout my adult life, and not that keen on replacing the missing Canadian identity with either of the more obvious choices in practical terms, American or British, but this past few years of really connecting with Irish people (never mind the weather, that's really just collateral damage) has opened a door in my mind about what if any national identity I might really have in the spiritual side of life. However, practical considerations will probably conspire to keep me living on this side of the Atlantic (this side of the Pacific more accurately) but if fate were kind and I became wealthy (currently in a very average sort of financial situation, can't complain) I would very likely spend part of my time in Ireland on a regular basis. And that would be the part where the sun was shining, cuz for November to March, that's why God created Arizona and Utah.

Merry Christmas and thanks. Not a day goes past that I don't check in with your forcast! Appreciated. Happy 2014.

MetLuver

Hi MT, thanks for all of your forecasts. The daily forecast thread is usually the first port of call whenever I'm here. Have a great Christmas and best wishes for the new year. And Merry Christmas to everyone else here of corse

IrishHomer

The 1st thing I do every morning is check MT Craniums daily essay on our weather. I look forward each morning and I thoroughly enjoy his captivating forecasts. Happy Christmas and New Year. Legend

MT I enjoy your daily posts. Happy Christmas.

Many thanks for your updates. Enjoy the holidays :-)

Many happy returns M.T. .

Happy Christmas and many thanks to MT and the regular contributors to this forum. The forecasting on this forum is consistently excellent thanks to your input.

I do a lot of recreational flying and this forum is a superb resource to have when flight planning. On many occasions I have wanted to go flying but erred on the side of caution due to forecasts from this forum, no doubt it's kept me a little safer over the last few years.

Cheers:)

tomcosgrave

I love this place and all who sail within ;-)

skirtgirl

The last thing I do before I go to bed is check your forecast for the day ahead. Don't bother anymore with Met Eireann. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic new year ahead : )

the word legend tends to be thrown around willy nilly, but it definitely applies in this man's case.

Yeah but Adam Sandler has made enough crummy movies for one lifetime, doncha think?

The part that would really be dramatic was when I found out about the O'Donnell business, my parents (bless them) had paused the explanation at Peter. Imagine finding out that ye're Irish (alright perhaps Irish) at the age of twenty-two.

As you can see, I haven't done much with it. Prob'ly need to be there too.

Aviation, marine and recreational (climbing, sailing etc) users should promise me and others who contribute forecast ideas around here that they will never fall into a sense of false security and that they won't use this source to the exclusion of official weather information designed for their user groups. We honestly aren't set up to maintain a continuous watch, nor is anyone posting here (including me) a qualified meteorologist in the legal sense. Some of us have figured out how to make forecasts, and some of you think we do it reasonably well, but that all together would mean butkus in a court of law if somebody gets blown off a mountain peak or lands on the motorway and scares a busload of nuns (who then sue Boards because that's what nuns do).

And thus ends my Christmas story.

Merry Christmas MT, thanks for everything!!

Let me join the chorus: happy Christmas MT. I always enjoy reading your forecasts. It's one of the first things I do in the morning.

Merry Christmas MT, and everyone else here on the boards

noah45

A very Happy Christmas MT I couldn't start the say without reading your forecast.
To all here a very Happy Christmas also, love these boards and love the 'chat' about weather with fellow weather lovers.

A merry Christmas and a big thank you to MT and the other highly knowledgeable contributors on this forum. It's a great learning resource for us lurkers.

Based on the comments you made, I would hazard a guess that getting an Irish passport would not be difficult, if that appeals as an alternative.

Thanks for the excellent work on the forecasts, they are indeed a regular required reading.

All I need now is a break in the weather so I can get my weather station back up on its pole, but with the way winds are right now, climbing ladders on to the roof is not exactly appealing a whole bunch.......................

Have a good Christmas and New Year

Merry Christmas MT your daily forecasts are the reason I visit the weather forum. I've made a lot of decisions based on your predictions. Thank you for the great work.

A very Happy Christmas MT and best wishes for the New Year, the first thing i do, every morning is read your forecast with my coffee... wouldn't dream of starting my day any other way!!

Mr.Wemmick

Happy Christmas, MT!

I wouldn't be on boards so much if it wasn't for your daily forecast.. So thank you so very much - 'tis a great way of being sure what boots/coat are needed before venturing out to meet the day.

Santa will be glad of some calmer winds tomorrow night.. I have it on good authority he's been checking out your updates

greysides

Just want to add my thanks for a years worth of forecasts. I work outdoors so it great to have an idea of what's coming and sometimes be able to dodge it......:D
