Title: Forecast
Post by: Jack Wallace on January 07, 2010, 11:42:23 am

Hey Guys.

This weather is a real Pain a we all know, Does anyone have any idea what they are predicting ? I have looked at various souces but they all seem to be different.

We have no choice but to ride it out and then work like crazy afterwards but I think its the "not knowing when" that is the most frustrating.

I am using the time to be constructive, like re organising the office, improving equipment, and installing heating for the water, but feel like a horse at the starting gate lol

Did someone say "Happy New Year" ha ha


PS before anyone has a go....   I am NOT moaning   ;)

accuweather.com seems quite good. (The forecasting not what they have forecast.)
Weatherunderground.com is ok ish as well.

accuweather go up to 15 days, but liable to change that far ahead.

From the various sources I've been checking out the freezing spell will be with us for a good week or so.Mind you it was predicted as -4 in NW Kent today and it actually seems quite pleasant out,compared to previous few days.Definitely working tomorrow if its like this.Sun shining and snow seems to be melting,slowly.

It's melting quite hard here at the moment in the sun, however I think tonight is going to be really cold.

Sell the van and buy a sledge with a team of huskys. Maybe cheaper to feed than buying diesel for the van.

I use the met office website for here in Taunton www.metoffice.com/index.html
seem to be very good, but like them all, they to get it wrong from time to time.

As my old flying instructor once told me "forcasting the weather is a science all of its own, if the wind changes 10 degrees one way or the other, the weather will change to"
