Since 2013 combined snow totals in winter 13/14, 14/15, 15/16 (leeway here). I've barely had an inch or two that is unsettling, yet those yanks have probably seen in one single event more than what I've seen cumulatively in over a decade sorry state of affairs, exceptionally mild again currently registering at 15C, overcast & damp as well! I must say the past 3 winters have been appaling three's a crowd!

This would be a disaster for parts of Scotland I do not use that language often, a different league to Braer Storm...extremely sharp gradient, unfortunately it may well happen with PV wanting to trundle nearby, energising these storms.

Near whiteout conditions in DC -

NYC is getting very badly hit by all accounts.

Blimey that was a quick reply, ahh well Spring is looking like a late one. Sucks for some.

Seek help Scott, it's not too late to fix your wrongdoings.

Repulsive putting it lightly... Well here's your torpedo, I must say I like these red colours

A little patience is needed, some silly posts creeping in. February is ripe for the taking. I'm no strat expert but the chart below shows a significant warming on Eurasia side off the scale in fact! They do not come often At 10hPa level on latest GFS, it would reshuffle the deck' imo.

I hate the British climate it is utterly mundane.. Being out and about it feels like a winter heatwave after those cold temperatures I'm afraid it is going to get worse before it gets better quite dispiriting. Great photo @kentcloud Not checked but I think it reached 12C here back to December shenanigans

Tentative signs of that mid Atlantic ridge, with jet stream seemingly wanting to take a more meridional flow 12z was as flat as a pancake, interesting let us hope this trend builds.

Very underwhelming GFS 12z so far, the Kara Sea high just a murmur compared to its predecessor.

'twas a hard frost. More please!

A cold one -2*C at the moment not a drop of wind, cold for an inner London borough. In the suburbs it must be -4*C or lower, Benson is nippy sitting at -6*C I think we could go lower than -8.4*C? If there was some snow-cover without question I'd say double digits for that part of Oxfordshire, I'm sad to see this weather disperse after Wednesday back to mild SW'lies.

Cold here not gone over 3C, in the shade the frost looks to have lingered on all day with ice still present in the bird bath. (The first proper wintry day of the winter). From this morning, doesn't really seem to do it justice...

Not at all it's featured in the week ahead forecast by Tomasz S. stressed the possibility, I think we're on a verge here and it's all going to come crashing down in a good way! I really do think this current cold spell is the appetiser to the main event.

Proper cold out there.... Temperatures already widely at or below -3*C in the Southeast. Tomorrow soon to be today looks to be a very cold day the Met Office app has a max of 2*C for me which for here is v cold, Wednesday is also set to be a cold one.

I'm afraid not Paul I can only upload through URL address thing quite the mystery.

Just for fun, but what a superb synoptic that is for us -18*C isotherm covering us just think of the lake effect pilling in from North Sea....although it is the dangerous cold for vulnerable folk.

The Atlantic advancement has been pushed back a little, the BBC had double figures for London on Friday based on this particular run max temps of 3C are being shown. Cold southeasterly a lot better for our region with short sea track, although no snow to speak of aside from coastal fringes, famous last words. Let's hope we get this thread buzzing again like yesterday despite being quite a poor show - it may well do by the tentative signs I'm seeing early days....JMA end frames in reality would cause netweather's servers a real problem.

Yep Steve those showery bits and pieces seem to have perked up once they've made landfall.. DP & temp as of 20:20 -

I tink I have snow flurries oddly the temp is 3C+ however the wind is coming from SE, from cold continental Europe.

A consensus of shunting the cold out to North Sea and beyond by end of the 'working week' for SE. It is assured the UK will experience some familiar south-westerlies, although I have an incline it will not last that long ie. swallowing up January, looking at ARPEGE at T+114hr we can build on from here, with WAA going polewards. Anomalies suggest stubborn euro high is set to establish again, but we may require some patience here, but I think the eventual outcome will be a very good one, Winter 15/16 will have a sting to its tail I sense. Here is what is possible with a grossly worse profile to the far NW... Food for thought?

Well the GFS show some wintry precip around our region in early hours of Monday that explains that.
