    Every year about this time, I get on boards to see whats coming for the winter. Living in Cork as everyone knows we get relatively little snow. Anyway I happy to report that this year I will be seeing plenty of snow, as myself and the family are moving to Utah. :)

    GavinH, you may not know the more traditional customs of the boardsies living abroad yet, but I feel obliged to tell you about them.
    You see, folks in Ireland would wait in eager anticipation on the postman who would be delivering a box from far flung places..... gifts of all sorts of wonderful things would come out of these boxes.... things we couldn't get here...... Ahem... so..... I was thinking... that since you are going to be out where there is lots of snow.... that you could... out of the sheer kindness of your heart... arrange to send SNOW parcels here to a few snow starved boardsies in the Weather Forum! These poor creatures are in serious withdrawal and their supply of snow in their natural habit is not guaranteed. Please please please do all you can to support this worthy tradition.

    Psst..Boardies.... this is where you sign up for the snow supply.... P & P extra :P

    P.S best of luck to you and your family on your move..

    The thread was opened on the basis of a single run of the GEM in FI without other model agreement. it was dead when it was opened.

    No, didn't see that. I wonder where they were basing their information on! Hopefully, there's something in that and that they weren't just reiterating (sometimes rather unreliable) secondary sources such as Daily Express weather articles!

    Gees can I not post for the first time without getting attacked :p No i've just been looking at this forum for a while now hoping for snow lol Yeah It just said that on the Daily show and I thought it might interest some of you. I don't know if its true though so don't shoot the messenger. I'd be so happy if it was though.

    Im not sure where they are getting that info from, BUT according to this mornings ECMWF run there is signs of cold in fi, and looking at the latest UKMO run that Azores high is sitting in a nice position, the only model not playing ball is the GSF model for cold, Hopefully the ECMWF wont agree with the GSF on this evenings 12z run

    The Daily Show is of course a well known source of insightful meteorology

    Erm, no, it was not. I cannot decipher the chaos theory. If you are a Mystic Meg then go ahead. If not you put up your forecasts and your money where your mouth is. I won't have a good giggle. I know how difficult it is to forecast at this distance. I accept this was clearly wrong. But I have been right more times then wrong on here. I make no apology for this forecast at all. It was an honest assessment of what was available at the time.

    FWIW, those maybe disappointed, it's a mere delay IMO anyway. I will give my thoughts later today on where we are. Maybe it is time other posters did (or at least tried) the same instead of relying on 2 or 3 of us constantly who then get insulted by said others when things go wrong. Weather is not a perfect science. It is by it's nature chaotic.

    In fairness darkman that rarely if ever happens around here.

    Nobody has been insulted as far as I can see, but if you always try to be the first in with a sensationalist thread title weeks in advance, then you do leave yourself open to being wrong. And you also don't like people questioning you, such as I did in the other thread. If anything, that's insulting to me, when the recorded figures back me up.

    Going by MT's latest forecast as of this morning, you may forget about any decent cooling trend for the next 10-14 days, which really rules out November for cold weather and snow.
