    17 days on and your opinion looks to be gathering strength 

    Transient snow for most northern areas of England and Scotland Saturday before temps rocket back up to close double figures,  but apart from that no real cold in the reliable, but perhaps January can deliver, the beginning rather than the end 

    I'd say average rather than mild:MT8_Aberdeen_ens.png

    PLenty of colder options, but no serious cold in the immediate and reliable future beyond the weekend event.

    Surely no one actually thinks the block is going to hold and we are going to get a proper cold convective easterly ? Best case scenario is that the low slides under slightly more and there is colder air is ahead of it so we can get a snow event before the inevitable Atlantic period? We then look toward Xmas and beyond for blocking to set up 

    spot on!

    The jet is too powerful and, unless the energy goes under, we are looking at a wet and potentially windy period of weather for 7-10 days, i think

    He's a bit more than that but it's not my place to say. Let's just say he makes a living out of meteorology 

    so does Piers Corbyn... it's a forecast, same as any other. May be right, may be wrong.

    Meanwhile, looking like height rises pushing North and lots of options thereafter.  Too early to tell whether we will get the retrogression being suggested, I think.

    Let's keep it sensible-and friendly please folks.

    There's humour and there's unpleasantness and we don't want the latter ta.

    Now back to the cold hunt,preferably with some model content.

    Cold Hunt sounds like a spoonerism from Donald Trump... Moving swiftly on, so much uncertainty on the lows developing out West, I feel we are a few days away from resolving which model has it best.  At the moment, none of them are dealing well with the current scenario.  I can still envisage a Northerly or NE flow in the not too distant future.

    The main prob is the A7 north, it shuts at Middleton Moor very easily in snow. Gala itself is low lying and not usually bad - but last week it was a mess. They seemed to take forever to clear pavements and roads in the town. But I don't expect this Sunday will be nearly that bad. How are you getting to Gala?

    Thanks for responses

    by car (4WD) to drop one of the Diddys to a dance thing.  Due to be picked up later in the day by a small hatchback, so I may bite the bullet and stay for the duration so that I can make it back to Diddy Towers safely.  .

    Dry here for the time being. Radar indicating snow. Thaw appears to have stalled overnight.  Grey sky and a biting breeze from the east. Temp 0C.

    Nothing to do with the weather, but was checking my bank a/c this morning to discover HMRC has refunded all the IT paid in January. Anyone else affected in this way? Could it be due to the devolution of IT tax matters to Scotland and associated changes to tax code etc?  I don't have time to deal with this today.:cc_confused: 

    Quickest way to deal with HMRC is to use the live chat.  I also find the staff covering it are better than those on the phone

    Genuinely.. I think the red was put in place to make folk actually go home.. 

     

    If the Amber stayed in place yesterday, not as many folk or workplaces would have taken the advise as seriously as they did. Can you imagine the carnage if everyone left work at 5 last night. 

    My caring employer sent an email out saying "yes there's a red warning, but we remain open".  Now there's a red in Englandshire and everyone told not to come in down there!  And I speak as an Englandshirian...
