Hello Gavin

Couple of points

1 Your videos are brilliant always - in fact you do a far better job than some weather folk on TV - your videos are of such professional standard - excellent work

2 Nice to know you have said in the most recent video that you are going to do a lot more historic videos - look forward to it

3 Do you have any historic weather TV forecasts on old video tape from your classic spells in your historic video section ?

3 How many years have you been interested in meteorology / weather ?

5 Have you done a degree in meteorology - you knowledge is immense - how did you gain all this knowledge

6 Ever thought about a career in broadcast meteorology - you are definitely good enough - I am 100% sure of that

7 Do you have a day role - hope you don't mind me asking



Best wishes to you and your family

I'll try and answer your points as best I can.


1. Thanks very much. I personally don't think I do a better job than Met/BBC, infact I'm sure I don't. I never set out to compete with the professionals, I just get on and love doing what I do. But thanks very much for your lovely comments. I get some negative comments, so the nice messages are the one's I always treasure and think about.


2. Yep, more historic vids will be on the way. I can tell you that winter 1947 will be coming up over Christmas. The next historic videos will be summer 1995 and winter 95/96.


3. Similar to Kevin Bradshaw, I actually have ten years worth of weather forecasts from 1995 to 2005 on VHS. So far I've not bothered converting them to DVD and uploading them to YouTube/my website. However, I have certainly thought about doing this and while the project is on the shelf right now, one day I might well put them up to my website.


4. I have been interested in weather since I was a small boy - My earliest weather memories are of the severe winter of 81/82 and watching BBC forecasts in the evening with my dad. Those cold winters of the early and mid 80's were VERY important to developing my love of the weather.


5. I have not got a degree in meteorology. I am entitely self taught and this has come primarily from watching BBC forecasts when I was a kid (and they showed synoptic charts back then) Studying weather charts since 2000 and watching many of the posts on here from folks like Retron.


6. I've never thought about going into broadcast meteorology to be honest. I'm my biggest critic and I really don't think I have the voice, the looks or the knowlage to appear on telly. Of course if the opportunity ever presented itself I would obviously be interested but,


A. I'm not expecting it to ever come up.


B. I'm happy doing what I do with GavsWeatherVids.


C. In some ways GavsWeatherVids gives me more freedom than broadcasting on the telly would do. For instance if I was on the telly I wouldn't be able to do yesterdays CFS video. Or the seasonal forecasts. Or the historic videos.


7. I do indeed have a "day job" working for family business. With the way GavsWeatherVids is going though, it's increasingly becoming my full-time job - Which is something I never expected to happen at all when I first had the crazy... "Wouldn't that be cool" moment during the December 2010 freeze up.


The fact the website and the videos and the forecasts have been so successful is entirely down to all of you and to the support I've had from Brian Gaze and TWO admin team who have embraced the idea and given me tremendous support and lee-way within the community.


I also couldn't have done any of this without the much maligned social networks Twitter and Facebook - Everyone has been lovely to me on there.


Incidentally, if you would like to send me your messages or connect socially my website email is: [email protected] and I'm on Twitter as GavinPartridge and Facebook as GavsWeatherVids.


Thanks Sriram and thanks to everyone else from the bottom of my heart.


Gav
