[GUNTER]

If you want to be REALLY sad, you can debate the weather to your hearts content with some REAL anoraks right here:

Saddo's of the world talking about the weather quite passionately....

[Uncle Spielberg]

Tom

Plus 2 c tonight
Plus 4 c tomorrow with long sunny spells.

Wheres this " big freeze " and snow mate ?.

Cheque book needs an airing.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Well it might be plus 2 c tonight on Planet Gareth but here in the BN1 postal district it's somewhat chillier. And as the big chill has been put back 48 hours by the Met Office, it only makes you even more of a sure thing to lose your twenty quid. Be afraid, be very afraid...

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Tom

The forecast was + 2c tonight, + 4c tomorrow and + 6c with the " big freeze " over by Friday, by Saturday at 5.35 pm at the Withdean it will be + 7c my friend.

Cheque book and coat Tom.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

'What! Yes! There will be no infidel Big Freeze! Gareth will roast it's stomach in Southwick!'

 

[rool]

what are those two soldiers wearing the bear skin hat thingies doing to him?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I woke up this morning to find it difficult to open the front door because of the snow drifts outside !.

It was plus 2c minimum last night and up to plus 5 c today and will stay above freezing tonight.

Still waiting Tom ?.

It's snowing in North Yorkshire, and heading south Gareth

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Yorkie

The temperatures are much warmer than they predicted. Plus 5c today and plus 1c minimum tonight. Basically the Met Office have f***ed up and are looking rather silly now after such ridiculous scare mongering of a big freeze and - 15c by night and -7 c by day.

The snow if there is any will be confined to hills and mountains in Scotalnd and the North.

Down here the weather has been the best it has been all winter with sunny weather and dry and not very cold.

 

[Yorkie]

Turn on BBC1 if you are near a tv. The weather girl is in Pickering (near York) not hilly there - that is the Vale of York, not high above sea level. The snow is coming down and laying.
There has already been a major coach crash near Driffield this morning with fatalities.

The sky is very clear here too. It usually is when there is a high pressure area but the winds are starting to come in from the north.

I'll keep you posted from Huddersfield

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

A few flakes of snow and a dusting on the ground !. We were told too expect arctic temps of -15c and heavy snow up to 6 inches. The bottom line is the Met Office fecked up big time and are trying to save their embarrassment by filming in Yorkshire with a few flakes falling !.

 

[Yorkie]

Give it time, give it time

(btw the crash they have blamed on icy roads not snow)

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The " big freeze " will be over by the weekend. Thank god for that it really has been a severe cold snap !. NOT.

 

[FG aka Football Genius.]

im wondering weather its Jon Snow at the BBC that first reported all this white stuff falling or weather the BBC have it wrong again and we are about to see a heatwave as its definately got warmer today

 

[Spiros]

Gareth's weather forecasting appears to be better than his racehorse selection if you look at the 5 day forecast for Shoreham http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=4899&links there is no evidence of a 'big freeze'. Ever since the Michael Fish 'no hurricane' incident the BBC and Met Office have repeatedly overplayed any impending bad weather. The 'violent storms' of a couple of weeks ago and now this being just two recent examples.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It was plus 2c minimum last night and up to plus 5 c today and will stay above freezing tonight.

Still waiting Tom ?.

Shame we ain't got a match at Withdean tonight Gareth, then we could all bask in this unseasonably mild spell. On the other hand Gareth, one could advise you to wear a woolly hat as 70% of your grasp on reality appears to be escaping out the top of your head...

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Tom

What about " the big freeze has not happened " do you not understand.

Or is it - 15 c with 6 inches of snow at Preston Park at the moment ?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Tom my friend just get that cheque for £ 20 payable to the REMF in the post and we will say nothing more about it !.

Au contraire Gareth, there's plenty of laughing at GG to be done yet this week
