Looking at the GFS 12z, the WAA into Eastern Europe means the easterly is weak in terms of cold uppers. Cold surface but i’m seeing mostly sleet on lower altitude. Longer term we get a cold northerly but mostly dry away from the coasts due to the normal wishbone effect. Still much better than last year and chance of something more exciting in the longer term.
I think the models are showing a week or so of below average temperatures with some wet snow and sleet but mostly cold rain. A chance of something better/colder in the new year.
As a complete novice, is this summary correct?
