    Can someone remind me what the long range models were saying for Jan Feb on last months updates? I might be wrong but didn't some of them look promising? I'm beginning to think that they're really not worth the bother looking at whatever they say. They have an input of starting data that is subject to so many variables that multiply as each day passes.

    Yes this is something that has been signposted by yourself and others for some time, although perhaps arriving a little later than expected? I suppose the worry is that the possible return to opportunities for cold will be delayed too. Most people - me included - will be hoping for a cold Christmas. Should something like the 240hrs ECM chart verify on the 15th it looks a long way to cold from there?

    It's a fair bit north of Tan Hill and Swaledale. Looks to be in Cumbria just below Brampton. It's definitely a glitch though.

    Didn't the long range models go for a stormy November? Wet and windy in November is great, especially if it's chilly too. I like it.

    Some surprisingly big differences in the models this morning even at 96hrs. UKMO offering the best weather for the weekend with ECM the worst, GFS and ICON somewhere inbetween. The ECM really piles the rain in on Sunday providing a country wide washout.

    I hope you're right CC. This has been a very dry 'unsettled' spell following on from a completely dry settled spell. May and June both massively below average rainfall, July starting the same way and nothing much showing in the precipitation charts on the models.

    It's not rained here since the 12th of May so I'm happy to see the charts this morning. It really has been an exceptionally dry spell here.
  8. Northern Sky
    Yes I've got fingers crossed we'll get some rain from Sunday. The last rain here was on May 12th! There doesn't loo much for Eastern parts though and even here right in the centre of the country much of it looks to be to the West of us.

    I've had enough of the dry weather. Is there no rain at all on the horizon?
  10. Northern Sky
    Yes fair point but it's only a couple of weeks since we had a significant snow event here and then another covering on the 14th. The last week has been mild but only a couple of those days have felt 'Spring like' as the others have been wet and blustery which despite the temperature have certainly felt rather chilly. It's the kind of calm, sunny weather that enables you to feel the strength of the sun which has been in short supply so far here.

    Perhaps avoid the GFS as well which brings a Greenland high and snow before Easter. Certainly nothing settled or warm on offer just yet and the warnings of an extended cool Spring due to the SSW look accurate as things stand.

    Only 7 months?! That's more than enough thank you very much . The time I love settled sunny weather the most is in Spring when it's not too warm but that doesn't look likely just yet. At the moment the models - particularly the GFS and GEM - are hinting at a possible rise in pressure as we head towards Easter but it's pretty tentative at the moment. It's been fairly wet here but nothing out of the ordinary and I suspect we may well be due a very wet month at some point soon.

    Which models are these Don? It's not the news I wanted to hear at all. I hate heat and I hate drought

    Ah soz, I must've read Leeds/Bradford in your profile and my brain just linked it to the airport! You've done pretty well there then. From the top of the hill at Cookridge you can see right over that way and I remember feeling jealous looking at the white hills in January. Usually we do ok here but we just seem to have missed out until this one. It's been a frustrating Winter with some nice frosts all we've had, this makes up for it a bit though

    Are you in a different location than Leeds/Bradford Airport SB? I'm not too far from there and this is the first snow I've seen all Winter.
  17. Northern Sky
    That might be for a different thread Grey...
  18. Northern Sky
    That was a great snowfall. We were so lucky here that Winter.
  19. Northern Sky
    I'm at 124m and house roofs and garden is covered but only just starting to settle on pavements and the road.
  20. Northern Sky
    Let's hope so. We closed school an hour early today so just got home. 3C and raining in Castleford when I left so I was glad to see there was still some laying snow here. I haven't been able to keep up with anything at work today, could anyone tell me the latest forecast are we still in for more snow into tonight?
  21. Northern Sky
    That chart is for Wednesday, wasn't Wednesday dry anyway? The ECM delays the snow on Thursday but overnight into Friday we get battered - by we I mean Yorkshire. Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick regarding your post. Edit - seen your reply
  22. Northern Sky
    The ECM doesn't bring the precipitation in at all during the day on Thursday. Such big differences at such a short time. Who knows what will happen?
  23. Northern Sky
    It's not looking great for central Northern England. The showers on Tuesday don't look to be pushing in land and the frontal snow is too far south. Absolutely no snow here at all this Winter.
  24. Northern Sky
    A 5 day cold spell with snow would be great. I'd love to see a bit of snow then let's get on with Spring and a nice warm up. Regarding the ECM isn't it just a case of us seeing two options at either end of the envelope which sometimes happens? The 0z at the coldest end, the 12z at the warmest? What I really don't want to see is one of those never ending cold Springs, where things take ages to grow, grey, damp and totally dispiriting. I'm worried that's what might happen.

    We've just had storm Otto?
