    Been reading through York/Lincs threads from 2011/12/13 earlier today getting all nostalgic! Its amazing how many of us come out of the woodwork and onto this thread when there's a bit of white stuff about. Hoping to see the gang soon :p

    They could be here next week!

    Promising early signs for cold and maybe snow.

  2. I've been looking at the GEFS ensembles over the last week and the signal for blocking to our NW has just been getting stronger and stronger, nearly every single perturbation has the block retrogressing to the NW, as well as a completely beaten up vortex, and as Steve Murr said this is starting at just day 7

    I'm starting to think this November could be special!

  3. The trend has been continuing to build throughout October for significant blocking over Scandi. The latest ECMWF monthly and GLOSEA5 confirm this trend will continue into November. The PV looks a totally different shape than it did this time next year and I remain convinced this winter will be far better than last year based on the models and background signals

  4. I was rather optimistic about this cold spell a few weeks ago, and for Northern England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and parts of the Midlands, this cold spell has been pretty good. We've seen lying snow and we've struggled to get above freezing. It's certainly not a bad cold spell if you can achieve ice days in the UK.

    The signals are their again in the models in the mid/longer term for another cold spell, with heights building to the East. My take on it looking at the models is that the Atlantic will break through by the end of this week/next week temporarily before we return to cold temperatures as we get a East/SE flow during the last week of January and into February.

  5. The GFS 06z backs up the thought that this may be a prolonged cold spell, next weekend is looking very cold for everyone with -5 uppers at worst, snow could fall anywhere, including the south.

     

    Friday

    Friday will be bitter with max temperatures of 0-4C. Much of Scotland will remain below freezing. So any precipitation should fall as snow.

     

    Saturday

    198h.htm

    Saturday is also very cold with temperatures between 0-5.

     

    The medium range is not looking bad at all, many of us will see snow, and Scotland/parts of Northern England could even get ice days, which are certainly not to be sniffed at living in the UK.

  6. I think I have a better handle on my own weather preferences than a random stranger on the internet - for your info I certainly wouldn't be sick of it until at least February. A shovels all that's needed to make sure you still enjoy it all, but thanks anyway.

     

    Have you ever experienced cold and snow for months on end? if not you can't possibly know.

  7. Hello everyone, my Dad's friend works as a cleaner for the Met Office. Apparently they were shocked to see their new £100 million super computer predicted a winter similiar to 1965/1966. The Met Office weather forecasters told him not to tell anyone, as they didn't want the public finding out.
