We were close .... Blah blah blah.
Only 100 miles away blah blah blah!
Facts are - when the fcs are put up - they call out ireland. Not 100 or 300 miles away. This might seem harsh but its facts!
So when they are wrong by 300 miles then people have a right to be frustrated and not have the same ........... But it was very close when you look at the size of europe nonsense answers!
It is also a fact that weather forecasting is not an exact science.
People get hooked on looking for certain weather conditions but to paraphrse Joe Bastardi 'enjoy the weather, it's the only weather you got'.
We might all complain about not getting the weather we want. The fact is if you lived in Britain you would have experienced a relatively harsh winter.
Overall we got quite good forecasts from Met Eireann, maybe people were relying on long term forecasts, the weather models, postmen or whatever. We can all look and want to accept what we want to hear rather than the reality.
Some people looked for too much and believed too much what they wanted to hear or see, then of course they get disappointed when it doesn't turn out the way they want.
I find all weather interesting, the obsession some have with snow just bores me, and I did get attacked on the forum (the mods dealt with it) for liking mild weather. This is how ridiculous things have gotten and it is why some people chose to leave in my opinion.
We were close to the real cold and snow in geographical terms, it didn't happen, still could, we should just embrace the weather we get, if people are weather enthusiasts, they will find all weather types interesting, not just snow, and then won't feel a need to be disappointed if something doesn't happen weather wise.
The weather never stays the same, it can be very frustrating but we have to take what we get as we can't change it, maybe all the ramping just adds to frustration.
Notice there is no ramping in the mild thread

The blame game post mortem of winter 12/13 was never going to be easy (unlike last year) Yes, we were close to cold with blocking to the NE a feature of this winter but snow from the east in Ireland is as elusive as ever.It is also a fact that weather forecasting is not an exact science.

Don't forget that the second coldest Feb of the 20th century (1986) was bone dry so even that was a let down.
Excuse my ignorance but how do you ramp mild weather in Ireland?
That would be a bit like ramping cold and snow in Siberia.

Look for charts with temperatures in the teens, which are in FI. Then build it up and it does turn milder but temperatures reach a max 12C :P0 -

If only you practise what you preach Min! Many a times I told you to embrace the snow

Notice there is no ramping in the mild thread, but you are constantly on here talking to everyone as if snow is the devil itself. The mods had to deal with you yourself in this thread I hope you dont forget.
Nobody ramps mild weather because it is always around us, usually. If there is a ramping beach weather thread in the summer then Il be there , or a storm ramping thread but for now its winter and in snow territory so the cold ramping thread is here.
There is two separate threads why people who dont like cold keep coming in here giving out about snow being boring is just really itching for some snow robbed person to reply angrily. If people want to ramp what they like let them . People need to embrace the fact that there is more interest in snow than any other weather on here and instead of giving out about all the hysteria about snow. Hysteria adds a bit of spice to the forum.0 -

Weathercheck wrote: »March, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
This is the point i imagine weathering is trying to make, posting up these fantasy charts that count for nothing. Its like somebody saying that West Ham United will be top of the premier league in March! Nonsense.
These charts get posted, and ramped up, and has everyone on false hope. Can anyone tell me the last time a chart 2 weeks out in winter actually came true??0 -
