    Yes - I really have no idea why posts asking for caution are being shot down. GFS is showing another highly possible scenario, it's almost as though people have forgotten it exists! With the failed December easterly it was GFS that reacted first.

    It's fair to say that ECM is *very close* to going pear shaped for coldies post T120 ... a word of warning!
  3. Strider
    Finally some action!!

    People might like to cast their mind back to the ECM (actually, all models) easterly fail less than 1 month ago... GFS 12z op having nothing of the height rises over Greenland. /balance

    I hadn't seen this before until today - turned out to be an abysmal forecast! http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/pdf/p/i/A3-layout-precip-AMJ.pdf

    Dream winter charts from all models... just 3 months too late! Looks like temperatures could continue generally below average for quite a way into April.

    I prediced a light dusting for the Birmingham area with most going to the SW in our region which was correct, but I'm definately surprised how well Northants did. Not sure why people take the little symbols from the Met Office or BBC as gospel then complain when it doesn't come off. True their main forecasts were also wrong, but it was clear from quite an early stage this wasn't going as planned (and I always felt the synpotics weren't ideal anyway).

    The netweather server isn't the only thing melting. Still no snow in central/east Brum
  9. Strider
    Still sleeting in central Bham

    NAE 6z appears to dramatically reduce ppn totals, especially for E Mids
  11. Strider
    GFS 18z is going for lows of -12c on Friday heading towards -15c for Sat night! Probably over-egging things a bit but at this close range it cannot be ignored.
  12. Strider
    The NAE18z doesn't look as good as the 12z overall, really sure I'm not imagining that... My expectations remain low for all but the very SW of our region. I don't really expect any accumulations for anyone else.
  13. Strider
    I thought that too, but their internal UKV model blows NAE into the weeds ... Personally being in Birmingham I don't expect any lying snow at all. If I was in the East Midlands I'd expect maybe a sugar dusting, and for the SW Midlands potentially around 5cm.

    Giltbrook isn't high or rural :winky: Birmingham central thaw about 75% complete now
  15. Strider
    Been out in Brum city centre - got around 3 inches in total, but the thaw is definatey underway now (the snow eventually turned to rain at the end).
  16. Strider
    It's kind of been lost in the excitement of the snow but the models today have been superb.
  17. Strider
    It was an ice day in central Brum. High of -0.6c now dropped to -1.7c already.
  18. Strider
    Shocking news about Nigel Doughty, as a Derby fan this will totally overshadow tomorrow's game and my condonlances go out to his family. Looks like here in Brum there is still quite a few hours left yet, although the accumulation total is only around 2cm.
  19. Strider
    And in east Birmingham too... whereabouts are you? I'm next to Millenium Point lol

    "Ok love I'll pop round, but only because your house is 20 meters higher above sea level and I want a nice lampost to stare at all night..."
  21. Strider
    So when they were talking about deaths from cold weather I presume they were talking about GFS-induced heart attacks right?
  22. Strider
    GFS still keen on sleet for quite a lot of the Midlands actually
  23. Strider
    lol GP is obviously intrigued about the Midlanders thoughts! GFS has the rain turning to snow slightly further west too
  24. Strider
    Is it me or does NAE have the front passing through at rocket speed?
  25. Strider
    The other thing I don't get about times like these is why people treat the BBC and Met Office ICONS like they're the oracle of all weather knowledge. They're probably using out of date UKMO/NAE data.
