  1. There was still a rather strong warming which would have led to a SSW, if the vortex had not already been split at the time. I think I said at the time that the SSW may not matter because of the volatility of the vortex this winter and that may just prove the case with the Atlantic and Pacific sectors possibly reversing in fortunes. The weakening of the vortex shouldn't be dismissed though Barry just because a SSW didn't occur.

     

    I'm not dismissing it, obviously the vortex is nothing like it was last year and it being weak is certainly helping. There was just a few posts last week of people writing of weeks/months of the winter for cold because there was no SSW.

  2. Thursday looking interesting for the Southeast and South West of Ireland, possible snow even in West Cork!!

     

    My parents are in west cork this week on holiday, (my mums irish) and it does seem to snow very rarely there, especially on the coast. But Tuesday is looking interesting.

  3. The cold and snowy theme continues on the models today, with no mild weather in sight. A week ago today, people were talking about how it was going to be mild and zonal for the rest of January, and were writing of cold as we didn't have a SSW. There is still no SSW and yet we are looking at a week at least of cold and snow, possibly longer than that if the GFS is too be believed. It goes to show how predicting more than a week out in the UK is very difficult, and the people posting day 10-16 charts last week as proof of the mild zonal weather continuing, might finally realize this, can't say holding my breath though  :nonono:

  4. Further ahead, 36 of EC members by 25 Jan have W/SW mobility (albeit by differing mechanism and with no discernable signal by then for vigorous cyclogenesis); the remaining minority anticyclonic, centred over or just S of UK. So, for now at least, continued support for the broad theme late Jan yielded in the most recent EC Monthly update.

     

    Plenty of time for change though Ian, since it's 15 days away?

  5. No chance of snow below 200m. Even then a wintry mixture between 2-300m.

     

    I've had snow and I'm at 130m

    Yeah showers are just not happening. Hardly getting below Cumbria. Barry, ive heard Tuesday mentioned a few times, is it a possible frontal event? Hope so. A repeat of Boxing Day would be magic.

     

    yeah it looks like a frontal event
