if the gfs is right could get very messy later in the week!!!
Vast majority of the time the GFS isn't right though and always over does the strength of winds...but a windy spell does look on the way.

Ooh - 100mph winds! Burns Night 1990 or 1987 Michael Fish 'hurricane' redux?
Amazing the time wasted on posting these GFS maps that show hurricane force winds at day 8+ with the following apocalyptic warnings - a couple of times this has happened and nearer the time absolutely nothing like what was shown. I suppose it keeps some interest in this bore-fest winter.

13.3c today...but it seems like it's becoming a regular occurrence in February now days, daffs and crocuses are out and a few roses! saw a few big bumble bees fly past as well.

Going put this winter down to one of those freak events,like when we got a winter of the severity of 1962/1963 that was a one in 250 year event.
Why?...3 of the worst winters I've recorded have come in the last 7 winters, and I've been recording since 1983/84.

If there is anything to take from this winter, it's unlikely that next year could be much worse?!
I wouldn't bank on it...just as much possibility of getting another similar winter, maybe with a milder December? - 2013/14, 2015/16 and this winter have been absolute stinkers!!

If we can't get any snowfall next week in this region (which looks unlikely) from the brief northerly which looks more of a north westerly now then the rest of the month looks like a write off for any form of settling snow - can't remember the last time we had settling snow from a Pm air mass on a westerly or north westerly? (maybe back in the 80's)... which looks like the only hope here.

A year ago today it started snowing here, it snowed relentlessly for over 24 hours leading to this. 12 months on and we're still waiting for autumn to end and winter to begin. Oh how I wish I had a time machine.
Lucky you got that!...the synoptic situation didn't look that fantastic with a front sliding SE but you were on the right side of marginal. Where I am we had a brief slush fest overnight on the 29th of a cm and that was the highlight of the winter.

I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad....it’s 30th of January and I’ve been working in a t-shirt all day. How we laughed at a certain Ian Brown all those years ago when he talked of the christmas pudding ? Come back and bitten us on the ass now
bloody filtered words

Yep! 10 years premature it seems...but the 'large teapot' is well and truly with us.

2019/2020 contender for worst winter ever?
Contender for sure but someway to go to beat 2013/14 which was awful, I haven't even recorded an air frost this winter which has never happened!

Well, I logged in tonight to see that things are looking pretty woeful! I think even a late Feb cold spell is looking unlikely now and are ever more looking to March for cold. However, I’m not holding my breath. This winter just refuses to play ball.....
No this can't be so!!...Tight-Isobar said we were 'triggered' for UK cold

Katrine Basso 31st JAN 33/1
Froze Were The Days 9th MAR 50/1
Really Tom?...Katrine is shorter odds than myself and the 31st is Friday and absolutely no chance of the white stuff on that date (13c predicted!!...I'll use the double exclamation mark to illustrate my point like someone on the mod thread), personally feel with the way the models are going and the continuation of the 'watered' down blink of the eye cold snap late next week and then the old proverbial high setting up to our south it could be more of the same of what we've already experienced this month.

Got up to 7.5c here today...the coldest day experienced here on the Essex coast this winter has seen a max of 5.4c which by any winters standard is pretty poor, though expect to beat this if any day verifies on the latest ECM/GFS 12z run (obviously towards day 7 onwards).

Tight Isobar in the model thread thinks current outputs are showing the trigger to cold in the UK 'big time'...you heard it hear folks.

is this the cold spell everyone in the Mod thread was getting excited about? It's a bone chilling 8c lol
Exactly!... the Look East regional forecast lady at 1:35pm had quoted 'a maximum temperature of 5c today' but that's wrong...it feels colder but it's really due to the breeze but is STILL above normal, in fact colder when we had those run of dull calm bland days.

Currently looking like a cold northerly followed by a brief north easterly and then back to the old UK high pressure...that's if we get anywhere near that point as a good 7 days away...could be the highlight of the winter.

A day 10 tease on tonight's ECM and just watch it disappear like that rogue day 10 northerly a week or so back.

Yet another gloomy day (4 in a row now) making a total of 19 gloomy bland days this winter (not including ones with rainfall)...mommy please make this winter stop.

What happens if it snows say just a passing shower and a dusting on the coast (I should be lucky) does that qualify? I take it anywhere in the 'South East' which I take as London, Surrey, Middlesex, Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire as well as Bedfordshire?

2013/14 just as bad if not worse...but probably more interesting due to flooding and various wind events, this winter so far counted 18 days which have been dull, cloudy and fairly calm (non-event days) and this isn't even the rainy days so shows how terrible it's been.

our turn for unseasonably cold weather will probably happen in the summer again,with HLB taking over.Watch this space..
Really!?!...the 'unseasonably cold' you refer to was only a week/5 days around 10th June if memory serves me right, the majority of the month was near normal with a warm final week and the rest of summer above average, let's not over exaggerate and the HLB in July and August (was due to excessive heights in the Greenland area, didn't effect this country).

Hey anyone fancy a competition?
When will it snow next and settle in our SE region? Even a dusting counts but not sleet or hail, must be snow.
1st prize for who gets closest wins a pack of 4 Cadbury flake chocolate bars, offered by me.
Entrants have until 12 noon tomorrow the 23rd of Jan to submit a date.
Good luck everyone.
No settling snow throughout February...at best the odd wet flake/sleet passing in the wind.

ECM is quite different to the others with amplification to our NE forcing the lows further south
But then dreadful at day 9/10 with a reoccurring theme...
