Just an observation from a total newbie here (who loves snow!) If 3 days ago the outlook was almost set in stone for cold and now it's mild, then surely the same can easily happen to the current "milder"charts being shown. No point getting disappointed! It adds to the excitement in my opinion!

Hi all, I discovered this forum during the cold spell in 2010 and I have been hooked since. I can safely say I'm addicted. Although emotions can resemble a rollercoaster at time, I know there are lots of people who are very passionate about weather and I want to say thanks for all your analysis and opinions! With regard to the upcoming (potential!) cold spell, the approach I take is to find a middle ground, if they are predicting patterns that are too good to be true, then they probably are! There is no doubting that there is cold weather on the way but I remember the same ups and downs before Nov / Dec 2010 and look how that turned out. I think we are very lucky to see charts like these so early in the year and if Jan or Feb turns out to be mild, I think people will give a limb to see charts like these and the possibility of them materialising!! My advice is to sit back and enjoy. Personally, I think we might be in for an exciting 2 weeks which will make the run up to Christmas very seasonal! Ryan
