    Lol, Evelyn got a sideways dig in at the Donegal post man there after the 9 O Clock news, fair play to her! Good quote from Carl Sagan too!

    It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

    Evelyns famous in our house too , a couple of years back she said on Friday we would have a **** bank holiday , rain, rain and more rain , put loads of people off travelling and we spent the two days in t-shirts sitting on benches outside the pub.
    She even had an arguement that weekend on radio that the sceince of weather was better than local knowledge .

    And I wouldnt be going around using Carl Sagan quotes as some kind of backup for my arguement if i were her. Theres a man who ignored James Lovelocks early hypothsis on earth feedback loops whenit was presented to him on a plate and wasted much of his career on bio-astronomy.

    there was a story in the independent earlier today.

    Gerald Fleming: Big freeze predictions make my blood boil

    " So where do all the predictions of a severe winter come from? From people who do not understand the complexity of the problem, and who make simplistic assumptions.

    From people who specialise in speculation, not science. "

    but did he not say on live radio we are looking at a mild winter,winter lasts longer than 10 days so in my eyes he made a long range forecast / predicton weater it be a mild winter or a cold one predicted by others,kind of the pot calling the kettle black to me

    Take into consideration what the Met office said back in 1982 about missing out in forecasting the snow storm that hit the country. It lasted over a week. They claimed they knew about it but not want to panic people in hoarding food.

    It was quite funny to see this tonight, Mr. Postman will be well chuffed he got somewhat of a mention on the main weather forecast, as they say any publicity is good publicity.

    More like a consolation goal for Met Eireann, no doubt bitter at the success of M.T and Mr. Postman in years gone by, but unlike Met Eireann they let the weather do the talking, or the animals in Mr. Postmans case ;)

    That's not what he said. He said " there is no reason to believe this winter will be 'particularly severe'". The Indo gave it the headline "Met Eireann: No repeat of Big Freeze this winter".

    The most likely outcome is a pretty average winter.

    I agree.
    He should have chosen his words more carefully. Perhaps he could have said statistically we are unlikely to have a severe winter this year, but given that long range forecasting is impossible, it would be unwise to categorically dismiss the chances of a very cold winter since we currently can only forecast with some degree of accuracy up to 10 days ahead.

    That way it might be harder for the paper to spin what he said in order to make it more eye catching.

    What's the point for a weather forecaster to have a dig at the likes of Ken Ring, The Donegal postman or even MTC ??

    Never thought she was that insecure .. sad really
