well the mod thread has been locked because of some frankly shamefull troll posts designed to provoke heated response, there are, to my mind. at least 3 regular posters that light the touch paper, to be honest, if they have nothing better to do with the life then i feel very VERY sorry for them. if the admins deleted every nonsense post there would be very little to read. anyway fingers crossed for much snowy love in the coming weeks

From what i have been reading over the last couple of weeks, it seems clear that certain people have an agenda in this thread, i am in no way a model expert, in fact i am a complete noob, which makes it even more frustrating trying to learn, when conflicting posts and bickering occur. The way i see it is, the GFS and ECM seem to be the big 2, and if the ECM has more backing from the "lesser" models for a cold(er) soloution then surley that carry's some weight? I agree that if the GFS is constantly showing a milder set of runs then it thinks it is on to something, but it has to be said that the backing for it just isn't there, and as has been pointed out already it is moving a bit towards the ECM. Respected posters and media weatherpersons have said that they expect a cold few days, followed by a brief milder incursion, then back to a colder outlook with the possibility of wintery precip, i know anything is possible, after all this is the UK weather we are talking about! I know i will get shot down in flames for my post, but hey ho, I just really hope that this thread can get back to pure disscusion and not squables with objective posts, based onwhat the charts show, and not what people WANT to see. regards lee

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday: Sunday cloud and rain gradually clearing southwards, colder and breezy conditions with isolated showers will follow. Monday windy, cold, dry start then rain later. Tuesday sunshine, gales and wintry showers. Updated: 1526 on Fri 9 Dec 2011 hi to all, back for the winter madness, looks like tuesday might see some flakes/sleet

wonder where they are getting the info from!!! lol, seems odd considering the model thread are progging cold temps, but Mr Fish did say wet and unsettled, hope he is wrong!

better make the most of it, according to the local weather, milder, windier and wetter as the week goes on, hope its just a blip and winter goes out with a bang not a whimper

light snow here at the moment

hi, 1st post from me , have to say that i have been teased today, loads of nice dark clouds, but hardly anything fallen, never mind. Funny how this morning there were hardly any warnings and now half the south east is orange! lol. Things hotting up on the model thread, so fingers crossed we will get hammered over the next week
