Gfs getting less keen on Greenland heights... 2 runs of downgrades by the run next week on that part.. I think a slider trend next weekend is the more probable atm

Been waiting for as long as it has been modelled to cover us... impatient I am lol Thankfully I doubt they are reliable anyway

Hopefully. UKV Yesterday update didn't suggest rain unlike BBC forecasts recently that is a start

Really annoying it is Allergic to cover the South West you'd think it be in a good spot.. 3rd January great chart except for the South West.. mmm always get warm sectors if there is one.. must be a reason we attract the unattractable

Gfs is basically in repeat with Greenland Heights never really getting going before the next slider.. cold not never gets colder through out the run.. sliders taking into account other then 850s etc with a more expert view look at it and go widespread snow but my view is it be marginal at this stage.. nothing mild anyway close on that output though

I believe it is a slider basically a repeat of the pattern this weekend continuing.. not as good for colder but still cold way out until 6th Jan at least with snow chances still.. good but not ?? It's a lot different then last run.. it's Christmas Day historically a bad day for cold weather output. As it is very different, easy erodes the Greenland Heights and doesn't show what we want.. it probably is not correct you see.. I prefer undercuts rather then sliders as I live in the South West preferably but it will give snow somewhere that slider maybe a lot!! Hmm long term I can't see any mild weather for a long time at the min! Very unusual feelings towards the way the weather is heading over the next month

Fingers crossed for a flake next week!

fI is actually more interesting going from 382 hours to 300 hours..on the 500 height charts.. check it out before you know it is going backwards!

That low over the Atlantic is going Nw or W direction... unusual.. not helping the block go the direction we want! The way that low has behaved I am not taking the run that seriously from the start looks funny to watch from 200h

210 hours build of heights to the South West building north towards the Block.. I dunno if that is a good thing. Very good I hope!!!! That is nerve racking.. hmmm looks good up to 275 abit to far east maybe.. way different to 18z so no doubt will change again. that low to the South west goes more Ne when more high pressure joins up with Greenland then North and then NWly..getting pushed around quite easily that low like a wave crashing through lol

I dunno but I think it is better upto 195 h around Greenland though less cold uppers around in comparison.. should be happy about the first part

The low maybe slightly further west compared to 18z and up to 171h looks better around Greenland

Do you have a link? It has been a wash out for the South of late but that is what has happened not a plan

I think we can expect a mix of rain, sleet and snow throughout next week.. very hit and miss in this set up but better then Westerly nonsense

Needs the be south of the UK not over Iceland.. It is quite warm over the Poles even as why I suspect the Jet is so weak as well.. Not looking great if you hate hot weather in the future... This hot I mean

Thank you very much, very helpful.. Jet Stream needs a kick in the ass.. Way to hot mate, it's not how the UK roles..

Actually a general question as I don't actually know how the current hot spell is happening and why it keeps happening then can crack the problem

Where is this heat keep coming from... Just get that Jet South of the UK..

Video shows when REAL snow covered Yeovil 40 years ago - Somerset Live WWW.SOMERSETLIVE.CO.UK A blizzard in 1978 caused all sorts of problems for locals and one Yeovil resident remembers it well Found this footage of the February 1978 snow storm which I'm sure effected South Wales too..

Video shows when REAL snow covered Yeovil 40 years ago - Somerset Live WWW.SOMERSETLIVE.CO.UK A blizzard in 1978 caused all sorts of problems for locals and one Yeovil resident remembers it well Anyone got any memories of this February 1978 snow storm... Looked into it and most places in South Somerset got over a foot of level snow according to met office Would recommend watching the video as it shows Snowfall we seek endlessly

Great when you walk up a hill and the cars coming down get snowier like on the way to Uni of Bath this morning from 30m to 200m the cars were getting whiter every 5 yards walked up it..

BBC graphics have white showing for parts of South west on Thursday... That's good enough.. The GFS 00z doesn't look promising though..

240 chart looks exactly like Summersun (Gavin) profile picture or a previous one. He will be happy..

240 the high is edging West not South and that is that for the cold hunt
