Winter Model Output Discussion 01/02/2013 12z onwards
Yarmy replied to Coast's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
But it's just speculation: you haven't offered a physical reason why that might be true so it's worth no more than a horoscope. If it's just pessimism, well, anyone can do that. Contrast with Nick Sussex, Phil n' Warks, Ian Brown, etc. I look to this thread for light, not heat. -

So it's poor despite the objective unbiased fact that it isn't? -

Sincerely hope not. One of the worst natural disasters in the history of Great Britain, yet barely known outside of my region. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_flood_of_1953#United_Kingdom (Apols, Mods: back to the 12Zs) -

Thanks. Outside chance IMBY from the Northerly then, I suppose. -

Most things I can deduce, but 'wishbone'? Definition anyone, please? (BTW, don't google it for the love of God. There are things in this world of which it is best to be ignorant. :-o ) -

Confused. Isn't all 51 members showing the same thing the very definition of consistency? -

Apropos of nothing. 1. The London GEFS ensemble mean is almost bang on the 30 year average (as per Gavin's post that everyone ignored). 2. By this weekend I will have had -as will many others- nearly 2 weeks of thick laying snow and a few double-digit minus temp nights. 3. Verification Stats (real numbers, not anecdotal 'such and such model is rubbish') show that the major players on average hover around 0.9 for 5 days and 0.8 for 6 days. After that we can surmise they probably decline rapidly (UKMO don't even bother beyond 6 days). Still, 0.9 at 5 days is a staggering intellectual achievement and is improving every year. Lorenz famously suggested calculated 14 days as the limit beyond which (detailed) forecasts would be impossible. 6 days takes us to Jan 28. 4. February is usually the coldest month of the year. -

You can tell the medium term model output ain't great when this thread actually gets shorter each time I refresh. Anyway, three GFS runs in a row with Greeny Heights in lala land. Shame the other models don't go out that far. -

So FI starts at T72 but ends at T384 just in time for a monster Greenie High? All good fun, and the pressure is off about after a decent cold spell for many. -

Before the ECM rolls, it's worth remembering what Matt Hugo said about the ECM 32 Dayer on the 18th Jan: "The EC32 model does signal a milder interlude by late Jan before a renewed risk of northern blocking around Greenland and colder into Feb" Something to look for in the ENS perhaps although a lifetime away. -

Nada. Zilch. Zero. Nul points. NW forecast tells me it's been snowing since 3pm though, so who am I to argue.- 767 replies

I've come to the conclusion that I don't actually live where I think I do. Either that, or the Radar isn't entirely accurate.- 767 replies

Yarmy replied to chionomaniac's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Doesn't the UKMO run out to T168 internally, but they don't release it publicly? Those frames would be interesting to say the least. Meanwhile, steering my raft away from FI, Sunday looks interesting for a decent chunk of the country. -

West Winch. Accumulating is an exaggeration. More like a light dusting on the surfaces not already covered in the snow from earlier in the week.- 796 replies

Very light snow started about half-an-hour ago here. Accumulating nonetheless. Will that pivot envelope us, or will it peter out?- 796 replies

Well I'm not going to stare at the Radar all day imagining that the front has moved a pixel eastwards. Oh no, I'm definitely not going to do that.- 796 replies
