M.T. Cranium

Peter did so much for people on a practical basis, helping them to make decisions for their workday commute, their holidays, their farming and outdoor tasks, and for the safety of themselves and their families in times of severe weather. He has saved us from harm and from money wasted at times too.

As well as that, he grew the interest of so many lay people in the science of the weather and climate, encouraging enthusiastic amateurs across the world, but I think especially here in Ireland, the land of four seasons in one day.

Whenever it happens that we get our next Atlantic storm, or heatwave, or bad snowfall, there is no doubt that there will be a Peter shaped hole in the lives of many in Ireland, who would have rushed to his forecasts and looked for his valuable nowcast updates, either here on Boards or IWO.

To you Sheila and your family and friends, thanks for sharing Peter with us. Many thousands of us are deeply grateful to him and for him and will fondly remember Peter for the rest of our own days. Across the ocean and through the clouds, we offer our support and tribute and hope his memory will be a blessing. It certainly will be to this community. May he rest in peace.

RIP, MT, Thank you for your great work and sharing your knowledge. Condolences to all your family.

I'm gutted your husband is no longer with us 😢 he was an absolute weather God here in Ireland writing daily forecasts for nearly 17 years , his memory will certainly live on that's for definite, we may not have met him but it certainly felt like we knew him , if you ever wanna reach out where all here anyway ❤️ take care of yourself 💯

14 pages and counting on this Thread, What a testimony to a man most of us here posting never met or knew personally but checked in to his posts regularly probably on a daily basis. I hope his family will in some way take solace from the fact that he was so greatly appreciated and revered here on boards.

So, so sad to hear about MT. It feels weird not to check in every day for his steady words of forecast. He will be very much missed. Slán abhaile ár gcara.

RIP MT. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

At a time where the Internet is going to an ever darkening and uncertain place, MT reflected the very best of the Internet. Doing exactly what it should do. A human behind his computer in a far flung land who went out of his way to help others make decisions, built connections and educate others through a wealth of knowledge and expertise. He enhanced lives, became a part of peoples routines and made their days better. A passion in weather it seems he carried through his life from childhood.

The internet will be a lesser place without him. A force of positivity and showed us all that you can have real impact in the world by your actions even when you think nothing of it.

I can tell people are genuinely heartbroken. Roger left a real legacy and wont be forgotten. Sincere condolences to his family.

I've always had Boards.ie bookmarked to open on the Weather Forum especially to see MT's daily forecast.
He will be sorely missed.
Rest in Peace

My first web site was at the end of 1994. Six pages, if I remember. Missed being the first website in our city and county by 2 weeks, so was the second. Used to load slowly. Made for me by a student who's now a multi millionaire, whereas I'm not.

Is it me or have the 120 threads gone unusually quiet also
