The Great North Sea Storm- Feb 2011

[Cod,cod,cod!]

been doing some googling on this guy...

early in october he drew charts for the end of november, predicting a very slow moving low pressure system fed by artic winds dumping huge amounts of snow, followed by a weak high, again fed from the artic producing fine conditions but very low temperatures

sound familiar? that was a month in advance

just been looking at the pressure charts on various sites for the end of next week and its gonna get breezy, at the minute the are west/NW forecast, wouldn't take much for them to shift a bit further north

Are you trying to scare us?!

must tell the mrs there will be a couple good drying days early feb

[a.g.]

58 mph winds predicted for fri by met office.

Looks like a case of "close but no cigar" for the lads predictions! The low stays to our West and doesn't make it North. We are going to get some strongish winds, but they will be South Westerlies and not the storm force North Westerlies he predicted.

Perhaps the low pressure may bring a few fish close to the shore?

[DUCKY]

180 mph winds down under, poor sods

[brash1]

just heard from mate on oil rig in the north sea he saying there are 50 foot waves and wind speed measured at 100 mph?

[johnf]

180 mph winds down under

Your keks must be in tatters!

Met Office warnings issued for strong winds. All in all I don't think the lad was too far away from getting it right. Just the position and the depth of the low pressure was out a bit. Not bad for a month ahead!

Met Office: North East England: severe weather warnings
