  1. Yep. Insane snowfall intensity over the midlands and heavy rain for the E and SE.
  2. Depends really, the GFS is looking encouraging with the Euro/Scandi heights building towards the end. Yes it's FI and will change but this is not the first run to suggest this outcome.
  3. I wish you all could see the hefty flakes falling out the window. 5cm tonight with -20 expected tomorrow. ahem.. back to the models: As we watch the rollout of the GFS 0z, the 18z is showing promising signs of holding on to the initial block with more flip-flops expected I'm not banking on calling anything beyond thurs/fri at this stage. Same time period on the 18z/12z/6z just to show how haywire it is.
  4. Agreed. I also think MetOffice website forecasts will start to fall in line which will come as a bit of a surprise to some. With these charts i fail to see how it would be 7 in London on Sunday.
  5. Agreed. This is what stuck out to me too. Flow coming from Italy rather than Scandi. But impressive charts all the same. Especially this early on in the season.
  6. Yeah, you only have to look at the US and Canada to see a raging polar vortex at play. Albeit not as strong as 13/14 but it's pretty close. Some record cold in the west and heat in the southeast results in a super charged Jet. So it's not surprising it's going to get so mild.
  7. That is one raging PV! even the persistant feature of the last few years, the aleutian/NE Pacific ridge is nowhere to be seen.
  8. I wouldn't get too downtrodden. There will likely be a string of cold winters again in the next years just as they were in 2009-2012. I mean just look back at 1895-1928. It probably seemed cold winters wouldn't return but they did. Global warming will change things but not as dramatically over the next few years.
  9. Well tickle me silly.. what do we have here It's not over yet folks
  10. It's a wonder the GFS ever bothers going out to 384 anyways...Entertainment value at least
  11. I've noticed a garden path emerging from the 11 onwards. Even a scandi high a couple runs back
  12. Firstly, Merry Christmas to all perusing the forums this evening... Secondly, It is disappointing seeing those height rises further south from a cold seekers perspective but it is so desperately needed. Ideally a high sat over the UK would be even better. Eyes down for the 18z...
  13. Amazing to see this ridge building only a few days out now where we didn't before. beyond 25/26 is anyone's guess.
  14. Definitely been a while since this type of huge disagreement. ECM not looking to back down so let's hope GFS falls into line. Would be a very nice frosty christmas.
