Level 4: Run, run fast -- the after hours weather thread

M.T. Cranium · 28-12-2013 11:37am #1

Just for fun, carry on with this, I will get it started. The idea is, post as somebody else and pretend like there's weather coming.

D. Plorable said:

There is every chance of every chance. I am starting this thread now because otherwise I would have to start it then. This is now, and no other time is. Be on your guard. Something is coming.

Not Actually said:

I hate it when this happens on a weekend.

Mod. note -- can we please get back on topic? Thanks. This is the last warning until the next one.

Seen Everything said:

This won't be anywhere near as bad as you're saying. I mean, as bad as you will be saying.

Underground Weatherman said:

How come I never get gusts? I am well exposed to the top by a shaft two thousand feet deep. I can even see the sky at noon on the summer solstice.

Dieter O'Connell PhB said:

In my vast experience, I have never seen anything quite like anything, nor would I wish to.

Bumphrey Hogart said:

We're ready down here in Mulligatawney Bay, bring it on.

Master of Deception said:

By my reckoning, this will all be over by Monday and then we can see who was right. In the meantime, assume I am.

Scared by Least Noise said:

I am scared by the least noise. Really, just when I typed this and heard the keyboard clicking, I was quite frightened.

Windy as I've ever known it here. Pubs closed. No buses.

Nacho secundo said:

Get a grip on yerself, WRL, this is just a light breeze.

Frank Lee-Bored said:

This is no Hurricane Desmond. Now that was a storm. Came out of nowhere. Killed thousands. Back in 1972 it was, or 1894.

Uncertain of Actual Location said:

I blame MT for this, he said only the south, but I'm getting it and I am certainly not south, if anything, I'm southwest of south.

Mr. Eight Post Expert said:

I'm no expert but surely a 940 mb low two miles off the coast is no big deal?

Mr. Wind-Up said:

Where's the lull? I was outside and it wasn't lulling at all.

Maiden Voyage said:

Thanks for the warning, I have called my in-laws and told them not to set out.

Maiden Voyage's In-Laws said:

Thanks to Boards weather forum, we were hoping to catch a break.

carry on then

The Aer Arran willhave to divert to New York, the baggage milk float is sliding on black ice coming out of the baggage hall.

The Ethiad can't leave for Dubai, Health &Safety say it's too cold for the operator to go up in the bucket to deice it..

Santa is on his second attempt to land at the North Pole. Rudolph's Nose went off over Greenland, so the automatic sleigh landing system is unserviceable. If he can't make it this time he will have to divert to the South Pole, which will mean emergency in flight refuelling over Area 51.Residents near that area are to be given a level 5 red warning for even more sh★te than normal.

Co . Dublin is on a level 7 alert for a heatwave, the B*ll s**t shield has failed and too much hot air and hype has escaped

The mods are going into meltdown at the thought of having to issue infractions to over 1500 lurkers ffor not contributing to the fun

So do you have actual data supporting your assertion that last night recorded the deepest snow fall in your area this July?

When can I next expect some proper snow. Not just white but proper white. I promised my son I'd show him some real snow here in West Cork before the holidays are over. I'm sure the postman and the farmer Wheshht said it would come.

The Cork snow shield is a myth.

Over the coming week, I forecast 3 feet of snow to fall on the city and county. It will start snowing at 10.23am exactly.

M.T. Cranium replies:

With the Cork snow shield myth being bust wide open, the gasp of relief from the Corkonians has added to the amount of atmospheric water vapour in the locality.

This increased atmospheric water vapour is rapidly ascending and cooling as it does so.

It will definitely fall as snow when the cooled water vapour adds to the water vapour alread present in the existing cloud cover.

Current conditions indicate that this will occur precisely at 10.23am exactly.

It can only start to fall at 10.23am as by afternoon the excess heat generated by all the computers in Cork (from persons asking "what time will it snow it Mayfield?" and "What time will it snow in Wilton?") would cause a shift in the critical conditions for snow to fall thereby causing vast levels of disappointment.

D48 said:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this meant to be the winter of non-stop blizzards? Or was that just for the UK?

Vexed in Wexford said:

You're wrong. You asked to be corrected. I am correcting you. It was meant to be the winter of non-start blizzards. Unless you're thinking of What's His Name who was quoted in the paper, he said 120 days of snow from Dec 1 to end of February, that can't be right though. Can it?

Has Calendar said:

No, I just counted, there are exactly 90 days, so it would be 90 days of blizzards, minus the 28 we have not yet had, so he could still score 62 and that's a great score in golf which you can't play in a blizzard. I was saying to people, if you think about it, winter will be over before it starts and then it can be time for spring to turn wintry so we get a winter in the spring that will surprise people and then turn to summer before spring is over. And that's because of the enormous number of blackcurrants. I saw an article about it recently. So it would be spring, then winter, then summer, then more spring, then rain, then more summer, and directly into autumn, then next winter, and so on. Ken Ring was saying it might be a wet one.

One or two could. I would have to charge a hundred euros. That would help me fix the tardis and get over there to have a look.

A. V. Ater said:

I am an aviation expert. These planes of which you speak have not yet been invented. Air travel is still largely by zeppelin and on occasion by trampoline. Wind is required to launch these craft into the air, calm conditions are the very bane of air travel. I trust that I have been of some assistance.

By the way, bring your own food as air food is not food.

They never forecast; they only now-cast. Useless lot

Be reasonable Modish
Met Eireann are doing their best, Evelyn/Jean/Gerry gave a good indepth discussion at the 27:27 news bulletin that only I saw because it is not all about the weather forum you know.

M.T. groupie
But MT is way better than Met Eireann, he really cares and he is almost always right, I always check his forecast first before I even put a toe outside the bedsheets.

Confused from Cork
Did someone say it was going to snow in Cork?

Also from Cork
I saw a post a while back that mentioned both Snow and Cork.

Up-Cork
Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anywhere but Cork
FFS just shut up about Snow in Cork - it is never going to happen

Confused from Cork
First we were left out of the purple level 4 warning, then we were back in, and then left out again and finally and properly back in. Cork deserves bad weather just as much as the rest of the country

I hate Met Eireann

Your plane can take off but not land. As such, you and your aircraft are destined to float endlessly through the clouds, a Marie Celeste of the sky.
