    This man has been posting the daily weather for the last number of years on the Weather forum, and his forecasts are eerily sound.

    Despite not living in the country, he's kept all the weather addicts up to date moreso than Met Eireann themselves :P

    Should be noted that he had predicted the current weather long in advance of it happening!

    I wonder will anybody vote No?

    Maybe Owenc for not getting a Coleraine specific forecast.
    :D

    Not only does MTC post his own prescient forecasts - he engages,encourages and promotes active debate on all topics realting to the forum.

    MTC's forecast is the first page I turn to on the Internet each day and gleefully compare and contrast where he has got it right and Met Eireann got it wrong. (I ignore the vice versa, so I can't possiblly comment if infact this has ever come to pass).

    Well done MT Cranium, a true legend of the boards

    Wot's all this? Do I get to retire?

    Thanks for even considering it, I enjoy my time on the weather forum here, even more than other places -- I find the enthusiasm, high spirits and the way our common language is improved, to be daily boosts to my own energy level.

    As to a boost to the ego, you should never offer that to anyone in the weather business, too much of that going around already. And I'm often bemused by that fact, you would think weather forecasting would be the last place to find displays of egotism. :D

    Just keep in mind that the law of averages is a grim reaper who catches up to all of us sooner or later. :cool: Those voting in favour should realize that they are giving a vote of confidence to all the weather forum regulars who have made my task a lot easier with their contributions. I try to follow the discussions of various weather events and I've found that if we take a consensus of the boards "gurus" it usually works out well.

    Meanwhile, happy to provide a service, but we will have to look at ways of involving more people as time goes on, perhaps once this epic winter is over, 'cuz I'm an old geezer and working every day is not that great an idea long-term.
