What a stunning stunning Morning this was, couple of days just after Christmas, woke up with temperatures at -6'c, the frost and the freezing fog made everything look so so beautiful! -

Same Evening 2/01/2015, wee looked the other way as the sun was still setting, the moon and the redish skies to our North or NE made things look really nice, so thought I would also use the monument and the houses in the shot with the moon. -

This was from Friday 2/01/2015, The high cloud and some small cumulus made the sunset look rather lovely, and was good for some decent photos, I remember at the time it was quite cold with Temperatures around 6'c -

People may think im crazy but as a neutral weather enthusiast , I love all this chop and changing with the charts, be it showing mild or cold. Anyways, Next couple of days, nice ridge of high pressure over the UK to give some lovely sunny days and harsh frosts at night, I for one am not complaining! Coldest bit of weather in 2 years! Nice crisp frosty weather with this chart All change as we head into the weekend, with some weather fronts bringing some more wetter weather, which i dont mind at all either! Things look to be going really unsettled for a time by the looks of it as time goes on, but after this weekend i think is all up in the air, so im not worried about anything, still not even in January yet! This would be rather nasty though :O -

Coldest and frostiest night in 2 years! Some places on the IOW reached -5'c wehre alot of others averaged between -2 / -4'c, woke up this morning to pure frost and ICE everywhere, looked amazing! and looks like the same tonight! -
Well then todays 12z runs are rather different indeed, for anything remotely cold the GFS P looks the slightly better option, but still not great to be honest, This weekends cold shot looks on the cards still though with all models trying to come to some sort of agreemant. However after that really is all up in the air. GFS P: GFS OP: UKMO not as keen: GFS OP seems to go into almost Bartlett territory, looks rather mild indeed and very flat, but is all in FI so time for change! GFS P: Looks very unsettled with some very nasty looking lows right through FI. Everything really is all over the place at the moment, though as a neutral follower of the weather im enjoying this roller coaster ride!

Model Output Discussion - The Run In To Christmas
Stormyking replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
That low at 180, would sure to bring snow to quite a few places, even as far as the south coast as passes through as the colder air gets sucked down all over the UK! very interesting run indeed! -

Stormyking replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Hmm the heights on this run over Greenland isnt as far west as the 06Z, if anything its slightly further east and sort of South, interesting run so far, this could go anywhere! 12z 18z -
Model Output Discussion - The Run In To Christmas
Stormyking replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Hmm I dont really know what to think to be honest, see the GFS normal and GFS P went through a dodgy little patch the last few days, and have decided to go back to more colder and better heights again over Greenland, where as the ECM was the one showing better signs for colder weather the last few days when the both GFS looked dodgy for a time. Now all of a sudden, they have swapped round and its now the ECM that doesn't want to come back on board with colder weather. Admittedly in my eyes the ECM does look the most strange and not as plausible as the others, but I can't discard it as easy as some others, due to the fact of the GFS norm and P had been like recent days. However personally I reckon it will be more of a colder and drier theme over more Southern areas, but better risk of snow over Northern and Eastern areas just after Christmas, but we shall see, this is just my opinion from ive been seeing this last week. Lets see what the GFS 18z shows this evening. Come on Pub run please be drunk! -
Model Output Discussion - The Start Of Winter
Stormyking replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Some very interesting and eye candy runs of recently, GFS P have noticed keeps coming up with all different ideas, from Greenland highs, Strong Atlantic Highs and now a 2013 style looking Scandi High with Easterlies. Either way there does seem to be trend of something colder after Christmas. Still a while out, so am not getting excited about anything yet, either way its very encouraging. ECM too showing good signs building north towards Greenland, nice too see good agreement on things from most of the Models. -

Just got in from a very eventful night of lightning watching! Left the house around 10pmish and headed down to ventnor, however the road to ventnor was shut so we had to back track to go to Shankling sea front instead! We got hit by a very potent cell, with 2 extremely close positive CG'S and explosive thunder, one of them pretty much hit directly about us! It produced some torrential hail, and the roads went white from the hail! Anyway that was it for then, but we decided to go to the downs and keep an eye out to sea, as we always can see whats happening for miles! Anyway it was a slow start, there was the odd flash here and there. Then got to about midnight and we almost gave up and came home, but as we was about too, this storm to our South and South east decided toe xplode into life, with lightning every 20 seconds. There was loads and loads of Double CG'S multi flashes and the odd anvil crawler! We decided to change location because there was yet more cells coming to life, and int he end we was looking at about 2/3 different cells which was all producing, with 2 of them close enough to here some decent thunder! Great night yet again for storms this year! -

Quite an unsettled look again on the charts this morning, especially going into the end of next week. Though at the start of next week, there still some chilly nights showing with the risk of frost in places
