Don't write anything off just yet..

Never seen anything consistently modelled long-range in winter. That's why long-range forecasting is not accurate. And forecasters describe as having low confidence. Because cross model consensus doesn't happen a long way off?? Only in the shorter term do they start to singing from the same hymn sheet. That's why nobody in there right mind who knows what they are talking about really makes any statements of fact untill only a few days out. If even then. To say somethings not going,or going to happen 7 days out is nonsense. Particularly with these set ups. Models never get to grips with them. You really don't know untill you look out the window if I was honest. Far too many on here ,making statements and it's just too soon to be making that call.

Cannot believe the utter tosh I have read on the mod thread today. Daft lot calling it a day ,or nailing everything on so early on. We surley know by now the models struggle with these set ups time and again. Luckily I have been on here long enough to know who to take notice of and who talks utter twaddle. Have to say it's been exciting model watching this year leading up to Christmas. And it's not over untill I start to sing Enjoy!

Love the updates. Thank you cap

Oh wow

Your not wrong.!

It is insane the flip flopping is unbelievable

I want to get off! But wait Its looking better again... I'll just wait for 18z

First time I have followed the winter models since giving up smoking. First time I have craved a fag in mnths!!

I suspect more exciting weather on the way It's very boring at present that's for sure. We are sitting in the firing line for a beautiful easterly. Will be getting busy in here soon I think.. ❄

Love to go to the highest pub in Britain. Get snowed in Does anybody here actually travel to get there snow fix?

Is that beast really going to wake up?? All eyes on the models to see if the idea is binned ...again...

Was blowing my Woodburner out

Hoping that will change!

Cold rain is horrible

The whole storm idea been dropped. It's all getting interesting again for coldies. Transient snow Sunday. I do hate snow to rain events . So disappointing

Why does that lot have to be over the north Sea! Cone here!!

Hello! BBC just said wintery showers possible on Thursday...

If you see any cold in fi ,then it's in fi and too far away to take notice of. If they see the Atlantic rev up in mid Dec on the models it's a given?

I always believed the ecm was the pub run?

Definitely more precipitation than I thought. Shame it's not a tad colder. I often have snow here when the radar is showing green. Still a possibility...

Sleet in colchester at around 4.30pm today. Nothing since As past yrs have proved. You just don't know with the white stuff!

Lovely sunny crisp beautiful day !

Feeing very chilly today. Looking like we will get a very windy sat and a touch of the white stuff too. Interesting weekend ahead

We have an outdoor Christmas fete with lots of gazebos on Sunday...
