I’ve spent years model watching craving the winters from my childhood.
I’ve accepted they seldom materialize in the uk,2010 being an exception.
The models are mere cogs in the larger forecasting machine and mustn’t be taken too seriously past day 4/5.Too many hanging on there every run only to suffer when the inevitable happens and the output is watered down,when it comes into the reliable timeframe.
Cold winters unfortunately are becoming a thing of the past.The models merely indicating what’s likely to happen,not the driver.
