    Storm Ciara produced a maximum gust of 64mph here on the Sussex coast with elevation.

    Way short of the touted 70mph and 80mph.

    Nothing more than a standard winter storm for us.

    GFS touted maximum gusts of 72mph for last weekend.

    This morning it is calling for 75mph.

    So my point is,rather typical that all the talk of Dennis not being as severe wind wise could actually be unwise.

    I reckon I stand a good chance of the same here in Ipswich.

    Ciara only managed a top gust of 57mph and squall lines were tatty and weak at this location.

    It certainly wouldn't take much.

    A poor ECM run.

    By day ten no energy heading se and a lack of trough disruption to the west . It’s currently like pulling teeth to get any ridging sufficiently ne .

    The last chance saloon is about to close down!  If it wasn’t for the MJO I would already be throwing the towel in on any meaningful cold and snow before winter ends.

     

    All eyes on the green line, needs a kick up to see ECM respond i think.

    not going to make it on this run the block is slap bang over the UK  unfortunately is a dirty high

    Whats clearly coming into view is the mjo push, now will it be enough push, i'm not sure who has performed better on levels of amplification this year, but we need the gfs to be more in line with its slightly better mjocast. A big eye on what the heights are coming up against now aswell, lots of clutter to the North right now bringing it to a halt.

    Or if only the cold was coming directly where it’s from instead of taking a lads on tour in Rimini on the way to us!

    A straight easterly or even better ENE/NE is what we really need.

    It doesn't look too bad, even though the cold is flowing into Eastern Europe it looks to get cut off in an ok position for a fairly good feed.

    This is mirroring what we saw last year nearly! It did get very mild towards mid feb beast from the east hit! Maybe it is a sign! If this is what happens again this year then we can use this as a strong signal potentially for future winters!

    At my age I've seen it on numerous occasions, warm to freeze.

    Like a few have said it's the small difference between wrong side and right side, again in my years of models imo I would rather see crap synoptic for cold at long range slowly nudge towards something in better favour than the continuous glory charts slimming down to a sudden fail. When people say look for trends in the models, it's hard to see it but that is a trend and not for good, so again the best hope is for something to buck that trend.

    So as it goes will we get from warm to cold or not enough push and stay mild, I use the word push because just at the right moment the mjo push begins to show.

    Now we really begin to have hope.

    Given the performances this winter I'm surprised more aren't shouting game on, this is probably the best chance yet of seeing a big flip to cold

    I'll go for a punt, 144/168 on the 12th/13th

    Still stands, maybe more 168ish

    Looking at the 6z gfs the euro high is doing what we looked for the Siberian high to do a few weeks back.

    Inadvertently the Euro high could do the job better imo when heights build west.

    Unseasonable warmth to cold??

    I guess a stopped clock is right twice a day....

    00z runs holding zero promise in my eyes. Once this weeks mildness is blown away it looks like a return to wind and rain. Nothing to whet the appetite in this busted flush of a winter.

    Even the analogies in here make no sense

  8. A slight dusting In West Ipswich from a couple of early morning showers. Some absolutely stunning photos and reports from the South of the region. 

    What an amazing 24 hours of weather, that's what the model watching is all about, getting something to the top of the ladder and then getting to see it unfold in real time, and yes I say that with just a mere dusting.

    Another post just landed from me in the ramps and banter thread...another positive one from me :oldrofl: (just for you)

    Between you and me I've been recording winter weather since 1983 (have a stevenson screen for recording temps, dew points)...I think by and large it's the amount of 'weather let downs' that has sculpted me this way)

    No that will be Norfolk thats done that

    Think we may as well sign off north of zlondon before we depress ourselves listening to these people getting their snow fix 

    The secret is not to let it depress you, if i get nothing and the rest of them South of me get buried then good on em, thats just the way it was meant to be, if it really feels that bad then maybe meteorology might not be for you.
