  1. indeed, and potentially for the east next weekend, there could be an absolute dumping.....
  2. there is a simple explanation of why 13 hours of snow only produced 4 inches (assuming the snow was fairly heavy) The milder it is the more water snowflakes hold, however the colder it is, the less water and more air they have. So a mildish heavy scottish snowfall (0c 1c) would not accumulate as much as say a lighter -10c snowfall. The water compresss it more, and also as it’s not overly cold will melt a bit. As opposed to a very ‘dry’ fluffy snowflake at -10 which piles up easily
  3. has the wind to pick up with the snow? this has to be the most pathetic storm i’ve been in.
  4. so latest gfs shows a very potently cold and snowy 4/5 day spell , after that, heights diminish to the north west, which allows the more common south westerly regime to kick in.
  5. Although there is a lot of divergence in the models, it seems however, around the 18/19th there is more and more agreement for us to be in a north easterly flow, with high pressure to varying degress to the northwest , and a low over scandanavia somewhere. Although this is far out, the similarities are quite stark, i mean, how close are we to saying, there is a ‘more than likely chance this is happening’
  6. The trend seems to be for a rise in temperatures and somewhat drier weather from day 5/6 onwards. Nothing overly mild yet on the horizon, indeed temps perhaps a touch above average would be a better term to use perhaps....?
  7. it’s the opposite, hence why the models are showing a much more typical UK winter setup
  8. decent consistency from the last few runs via the gfs. Basically a marked rise in temps, winds veering south westerly from day 8ish onwards. I don’t think it would be overly mild due to the strength of wind, but the longer the flow lasts, the milder it would get. Eastern areas seeing the best of dry weather, although showers or organised spells of rain couldn’t be rules out. Moray firth area could very well see some of the higher temps with this setup.
  9. gfs is fairly consistent in ending this cold (ish) snap past day 9ish, shown up on a few runs. As per usual, south and west would feel milder air first, with northern and eastern seas clinging on to the cold air longest.
  10. indeed i think the ‘cold’ interest in next weeks is done, it will be slightly colder than average, with a bit of wintryness. It seems day 9ish onward is where any deep cold COULD lie, ecm makes for interesting viewing if it’s cold you want in the latter stages.
  11. The whacky curvy system over fife just now, will that’s effect edinburgh later?
  12. Latest gfs shows as of the 4th Jan a new pattern with South Westerly winds taking over until the end of the run. Not overly mild, but the South West and South coast would see temps nudging into double figures. Further North, the temps fall away as you would imagine
