A transient spell like 11th-14th Jan 1987 would be ok though

Yup this shows that once you get a very cold pool of air in place things usually take care of themselves. (even if not shown to on the models)

Met office going to have egg on there face tomorrow if disruption in London caused by snow with no real warning. Quite incredible how poorly forecast this event was both by met and by models.

Was definitely going more SSW till last few radar frames (between 20:45-22:00), now seems to be going more SW again (22:00-22:45)

It looks quite marginal though for settling snow

London Heat Effect may give a kick to some of these showers so don't be too surprised if you see a flake or two in that area soon.

I think most ppl are talking about tonight when conditions will be ripe for snow. Note also chance of lightning today http://www.estofex.org/

I think the next week will be a lot more noteworthy for its temperature (specifically wind chill) than its lack of precipitation

ECM very good for the UK with some wintry potential even down south, but for the US that is just plain ridiculous -24 uppers down to North Carolina!!!

Doesn't look too bad for me, going to Budapest from Wednesday till Monday and the latest gfs looks like I might get some serious snow action especially Saturday/Sunday :-)

I am flying tommorow from Luton should be a bumpy flight

This is from the US airforce (from my simplistic reading of it, it looks better than the FAX)

Don't think there would be a breath of wind in the whole of europe here (where are the isobars!!!)

oh yeah just look at this

GP's scandinavian high showing up towards the end of the GFS and at 144h the UKMO looks pretty warm
