Hope it ends  on a bang. England is about the only country in Europe without snow cover  

Get the cold in first

[Model output discussion - Winter has arrived and the hunt for cold is on]

Just checking....What are we determining as reliable time frame? 

D6? 

 

Almost a week away? Asking for a friend

I think the term "proper Eastetly" is pushing the envelope somewhat!

06z GEFS look good, pretty much all of them go for a Major warming event at 10hpa, the Op probaly the worst of the lot and a slight step back from the 00z.

Op/Mean/00z Op

onto the 12z we go, afterall the 06z GFS is only worthy of the Bin

Just picked up 3off tix for The Killers at St Mary's next year. Hoping for a better performance than the usual rubbish that we have to watch down there.

 

Not quite as bright as advertised here, but much milder this morning. Yesterday morning was a beaut.

Don't worry, easy game for saints this weekend

@sebastiaan1973, we expect too much of a ssw, I checked most of them since 1958 and only 1985 (actually new years eve 1984) and 2012 brought could to our region (I looked at hellmann numbers for de Bilt), most ssw  however were actually preceded by marked cold periods 

But it's not often we see a SSW in December is it, as we enter winter proper? along with entering Solar minimum and a QBO in a W to E phase.. 

I think what's key is that each SSW is different. Fascinating viewing!

400 meters may be very modest levels when comparing to world geography and topography but it is a tiny tiny tiny % of people in the UK that live above 400m, i am trying to look for the highest possible location ready for when i can afford to move, Flash was the only village i could find anywhere near here with that altitude and they wont let prperty unless you have a history of living in that area.

Or your 2nd name is Gordon..... 

The heights to our North east are extremely encouraging on the pub run...

Oh boy! shaky I fear for you this winter if you are disecting each run, full credit to you if you can keep that level of enthusiasm up for the next 4-5 months! 

That said, the GFS 06z although not nearly as good in deep la la land as it's 00z (hardly surprise of the century) is not a bad match at D8.

 

Not Sure what the ECM was smoking..... or was it?

Hope eveyone is keeping well?

Ah, there's a sign the seasons are changing locally, Karlos is back! Welcome back, are you looking forward to your new heights this year and frozen rain and not liquid rain?

I see you must have dusted off you signature too, as it looks like all the dust has made it on to your profile image

Awwww thanks DB, I know you must have missed me through the tough summer months. just thought I’d log in and say “ello”... 

found myself a new app recently called rain alarm..... I’ve jumped out my skin on several occasions Today as it warned me a shower was nearby, with its dramatic clap of thunder on full blast  

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/06/2019 Onwards]

Jumper on, jumper off, don’t you just love autumn Hope everyone had a pleasant summer.

The MAD thread are trying to write off winter already. But I think nature has more surprises for us.

She ain't finished with the cold yet!

Winter maybe, but March is often prime time for Scandi Heights. March is more of a winter month than December imo, in terms of getting snow and cold uppers to the southern UK. But if that’s winter done, I’m pretty satisfied ️

You certainly did alright there Karlos. There was nowhere near that here! Roads had cleared by midnight and it was just ice/slush on the grass and verges this morning. It's virtually all gone now.

Wow really? Amazing what just 300ft does

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

What a night and day! Well worth the winter wait!! who’d have thought an Atlantic low would bring all of this right down to the south coast! As rare as rocking horse droppings!! 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Radar says no ppn left for me, but it’s still tipping it down? WTF... some strange goings on tonight with said radars
