Don Fry Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I read about it. Something about the jet steam has shrunk it the heat, and lost its wobbles, and retreated north in disgust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cooper Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I don't mind the wind, but I can do without the rain. My local flying field is flooded, and other fields at other clubs are not much better. Fingers crossed for an improvement soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Richardson Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Don't feel bad it's not been great this side of the Atlantic either, not too bad up to Christmas but then it turned windy and rain here on the Island even had a week or so of snow, usually on the Pacific coast its relatively warm 6-10c daytime 2-5c at night, it is only just starting to moderate, luckily no floods - so far.. good luck to you all hope the weather gets better soon.

Glyn44 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just opened the curtains. Guess what, it’s chucking it down. Not so worried about the flying, I’ve got two dogs to walk in the mud. There’s no pleasure in it. On a brighter side it’s Leicester beer festival from Wednesday, it’s inside so might stay for the three days and “drown” my sorrows!

Robin Colbourne Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Romeo Whisky, I love the DUKW. If I ever won the lottery, which, given that I don't buy the tickets, is rather unlikely, a DUKW is what I would buy! I blame Airfix for this particular obsession. Going back to the weather, given that there are only two types; building weather and flying weather, I'm looking forward to this being a truly classic year for new models, particulalry scratchbuilt, from plans and 'proper' kits. Even some of those ones lurking part built in the roof or on top of the wardrobe stand a chance of getting finished and flown. All that is needed now is some good excuses and artful dodging to avoid the wife/girlfriend with the household 'to do' list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Beautiful morning here today, bit of breeze as well, garden drying out, optimism rising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Started off bright sunlight as I scraped the ice off the windscreen and the sun even felt warm out of the wind. LUnchtime forecast, Snow by tomorrow morning. Ah well, put the gas on full in the workroom and stay in door. The long range forecasts on the internet (Met office) said at least 20th of March.

i12fly Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 March is either "in like a lion, out like a lamb" or "in like a lamb out like a lion". Looks like it will the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 All the long range forecast sites I have are showing from the 7/8 March onward there should be a week of fair weather. Still might be on the breezy side at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Fraser Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 We don't have wind and rain in Flintshire! OK ok, I took this the last time I got out but missed the squadron of pigs that flew over on 6th Feb Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cooper Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The storms are supposed to be named in alphabetical order. . We have just had Storm Dennis, and now we are going to be blown away by Storm Jorge. . So what happened to Storms E, F, G H and I ... ????

Don Fry Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 You have left the EU, but not the storm naming system. This one is south, and Spain spotted it. And named it. Be grateful that Storm Gibrater is no longer available. Happy wet week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, Spain had it first and named it Jorge (pronounced "horhay" ). Once named, the name is used by other countries.
