Looks that way & to think (open to correction on this) that it was Deep Easterly that introduced MT to boards

Was he banned from Weather? He posts on a lot of forums and always is provocative, mostly within taste. Maybe he stepped over the line somewhere else.

Might have something to do with getting stick over not ramping it up and posting how he see's it, like Su.

If that's the reason it's a pity considering Deep has called it very accurately over the last few days among some major ramping on here. Great poster and one of most level headed guys on here.

Come back!

No loss with what was coming out in the last few days,how could anyone complain about someone saying Gerry's Wed night forecast was an absolute shambles.Su is a different entity entirely.

"No loss" shows how little you know. Pathetic.

I hope Deep Easterly returns sometime, always liked his posts and he has great historical knowedge when it comes to weather, as others have said, a real loss but always welcome to return

BEASTERLY

Ah feck, not another down. We have a small pool of people but a large pool of knowledge, sadly now a dwindling one. The closed account phenomenon is a strange one. If you were just fed up of the hype or such you would just stay away for a while. Closing your account is a deliberate message.

If any of ye are reading, we would love to have ye back.

Jesus lads they'll all be gone soon if it keeps up like this.....great poster will be missed on here anyway. But you cant really blame them with some of the ****e they have to put up with because they give there opinion....witch by the way is more often right than wrong.

Weathering

Sad people are closing their accounts but if they want to it's up to them
I think there is trend,when interesting weather comes along they seem to close them around that time
Very unusual for it to happen in benign weather
Maybe their heads are that wrecked/fried they have no option but to ha

Lucreto

Deep Easterly and all the other will be missed.

But if you don't have a thick skin you won't get throught life. People will have a different opinion than you on everything and you can't convince then otherwise. But taking the ball and going home will not convince them only hurt the people who find what they say interesting.

whiteandlight

Agreed, I don't get the closing account idea. I take a few days off every now and then but closing your account is such a final step. So many of these posters have done it without any obvious reason.

I really miss the technical discussions that so many knowledgeable people had (not saying those who are still here aren't good!!). Albeit that I never understood half of it

I'm pretty sure it's this one, it's been a few years since I was up that way. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=stepaside+dublin&hl=en&ll=53.257897,-6.232338&spn=0.020102,0.038581&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=53.87374,79.013672&t=h&hnear=Stepaside,+County+Dublin,+Ireland&z=15&layer=c&cbll=53.258117,-6.232409&panoid=lyI6F_heSyYELy6O0elZkA&cbp=12,2.67,,0,3.9

How could anyone get banned from a weather forum. Beggers belief.

Jesus Christ, Deep Easterly has been an excellent contributor to this forum over the last few years, I don't post often but after reading a comment like that it no wonder he left with the bandwagon type like you only here in winter

O..You'd be surprised
It's like a football match in here half the time

Snow is ruining this place, it used be fun to see the debates over the charts, even if sometimes it got heated it was always fair and everyone made up.

Hopefully the people with good knowledge that are still here stay, and those that left come back.

Very good post B. I was thinking the same - the "will it snow in my backyard" stuff that is to be expected around here at times like this is not a valid reason for closing an account. A deliberate message as you say. But who knows??

Saganist

Listen lads. The models this week were imo +24/36 is FI.
Everyone here, including DEEP, did their best to provide updates, forecasts, opinions etc...
We should be glad that this knowledge is available ( for FREE ).
I hope it snows.
Come back DE.

It's because this place turns into a shíthole whenever the weather gets interesting.

I think this thread has gone over the top, we should be talking about the weather, yes a little banter is all well and good but some posts on here are non weather related, we're loosing good knowledgeable people who have been on here longer than most. yes opinions will differ but that's the nature of weather forecasting, we chew the fat and give our opinion whether it's right or wrong we should respect that.

Oh for goodness sake there's quite a bit of "forecasting snobbery" on here but it's just an amateur weather forum and it's ultimately just for fun! No need for sulking!

There's a good few of them along that road. On my phone at the moment so csnt post anything up but the easiest one to describe is about 50-100m before the Blue Light (coming from Lamb Doyles) a steep side road that goes up to the quarry. There's probably even a signpost for the quarry

You should be able to find them google maps though. You can easily see the trails.
