Spaniel Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 The best way is to get up in the morning look out the window and make a decision, relying on that lot is a waste of time We had snow forcasted yesterday.......didnt see nothing but blue skys and sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soreshoulder Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I agree Got the app on my I-phone. Looked on there the night before i was going to go shooting and it predicted strong winds 13-16 MPH from 6-9am. Great i thought, woke up next morning not a breath of wind, Hang on i thought, and when i checked the forecast again the cheeky bastewards had changed it to make it look like they were right :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrycatcat1 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Flippin waste of space that BBC forcast said it was going to be ok today and snow tomorrow.

Breastman Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I can only assume that China has shot down the weather satellites and we're back to squeezing seaweed. It seems in the last 5 years they just don't know their **** from their elbow :blink: Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah you should have checked my facebook page last night I was forecasting snow. Mind I got my info from Metcheck between them and the beeb I get a reasonable idea of the trend.

wymberley Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Agree entirely. Some years ago our (East Devon) forcasts came from Plymouth and when this changed to Bristol it all went pear-shaped. Don't want to shout too loud because I've only just found it but so far in those few days it's been pretty good, so try www.xcweather.co.uk and whack in your postcode.

We have had at least 3" of snow that wasnt forcast so why does all the media listen to them when they hardly ever get it right?? It does not surprise me. These are the same people that forecasted a WET and MILD winter. I have looked at wednesday's forecast a few times today and it has gone from rain to snow to sleet. It will be partially cloudy or foggy later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyr8 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 i,ve a book called weather law,the author did a long study of the old farmers/sailors weather folklore.he worked out the percentage of times they were correct and some are better than met forcasts.the forcasts in the fiftys were better than todays with the billions of pounds worth satalites and computers they use.i,ll stick to my trusty weather cone.

Frenchieboy Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Round our area the weather forcasters use what is known as a "Weather Stick" to predict the weather. A "Weather Stick" is a piece or rare tropical wood that is only found in the rain forests about 2 feet long and 2.5 inches in diameter. The way they use it is as follows: They hold it in their right hand and open the window with their left hand. Then they hold the "Waether Stick" out of the window at arms lebgth for 45 seconds. They then bring it back in and carefully inspect it! If its wet they tell us it's raining and if it' dry they tell us that it is going to be fine. They do have a bit of sea weed as a stand by in case they lose their Weather Stick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berettaman Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 As usual we are plodging around in snow in the north east but we are used to it, saying goes if you can live here you can live anywhere,all four seasons in one day usually as another cotributor has already said "want to know the weather, look out the window" its as reliable as owt else!!
