    Crazy Run Steve

    Any views on whats driving the Friday 8th Snowfest on the GFS ? Also seems to be siding with the Met Office;s thoughts from a few days back where attacks from the South could come into play coming up against the established cold pool.

    Thoughts ?

    The models originally just tried to shunt all the energy south, however as now T120-144 has approached so the energy coming south  is a bit weaker because theres a wave of cold pushing west- Net net the 2 entities meet over the UK Fri, in order for the UK to get snow from the front edge ( & indeed all a front sweeping down ) we need entrenched cold & ideally sub -6c uppers from the continent > on this run the parameters are satisfied...

    Yes in the short term looks a bit more encouraging but dew points look a bit iffy certainly where I am nearer the coast...MetO look pretty adamant that there will not be much in the way of snowfall for next week (Mon-Wed), by the way not referring to you about the hype from certain posters and also largely referring to the NH pattern after this easterly.

    No I get that-

    Whats happening which is good news is the low over the countries is being modelled further & further South East & Slightly more acute

    That helps us 2 fold because the -8s / -9s are nearer but also theres less sea fetch to modify the air but enough to keep the streamers going ( I think you need 25 miles over sea to get enough track for a streamer )
