Damned thing developed a break in the line.....The gap passed over my town 🙄 Story of my life when needing rain. ** ** except for the past fortnight when we've had between fifteen and twenty inches. #1 son lives towards the Southern end of the Gold Coast. The nearest BoM station, Coolangatta, has recorded twenty-five inches from 4th -> 14th Feb. Sunshine Coast (North), Maroochydore, recorded twenty inches. BoM is prediction showers, possible storms for the next week. Admittedly, didnt need that rain, its rained for 48 hrs straight at this point. However, as i knew the evening before this squall feature which had featured lightning and 80mph gust elsewhere, was due to pass me in early hours AND i happened to wake so deemed it worthwhile staying up watching it approach on radar. Only to see it evaporate, briefly, only a few miles either side of my location.....yeah... We've had nothing approaching your totals Ratty, maybe 3-4" where i am in Ciara and Dennis.

This cold front is actually huge, spanning the Atlantic! The last time this happened, 2009, was a similar point in the previous solar cycle...

The Force is with you. You mean against me?? 😁 Only if the gap is a Croatian bad luck charm. Or you wanted the non-gap results.

With all the flooding in the British Isles from winter storm Dennis how long will it be before the usual suspects demand action on climate change to prevent this clearly avoidable scenario? My guess is the articles are already written and will be printed up by daybreak in the UK.

Glenn, they were written in 1988 and used like a Micro$oft Word mail merge with placeholders to insert variables.

True they insert - heat/drought/flood/ dependent on the weather that week even snow is used as a symptom of warming now

I forgot the narrative has changed from Man Made Global Warming to Climate Emergency. From "The Guardian" "Why are there so many floods? The recent floods have been so widespread and damaging because the ground across Britain is saturated. It has been an exceptionally wet winter so far with autumn rainfall records being broken for South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. England as a whole had its fifth wettest autumn on record. Why? In large part, this is due to the climate emergency. Evidence from the Met Office shows the number of winter storms has increased in the north Atlantic and that they are getting stronger. Heavy rainfall events are also becoming more frequent: warmer air carries more moisture, which means rain falls in heavier showers." www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/feb/17/storm-dennis-floods-everything-you-need-to-know

Thinking about it, the use of term "Climate Emergency" is a smart move on the part of the AGW crowd. Words have meaning and connotations that sometimes magnify the effect. "Man Made Climate Change" does not sound nearly as scary or urgent as "Climate Emergency". I can sleep just fine knowing that man is changing the climate. But Climate Emergency keeps me up at night. Sounds like if we don't do something my kids are going to drown in the more and more frequent floods.
Think of the Patriot Act. That sounds so much better than the "We are going to use fear to screw you out of some of your rights act".
Or one of my favorites they use a lot in Europe. The "Value Added Tax" Just what "value" are we getting paying this extra tax? But it sounds so much better than the "bend over and take it tax".

The value added tax which is mostly 20% was bought in to pay for membership of the EU, what's the betting it won't end now were leaving?

I throw this video out here because of the Middle Eastern snow images. Didn't see any of this on mainstream media. Having spent several years in these desert climates, this appears WAY beyond normal. Not to mention the floods.
