Wet wet wet was never invested in this spell burnt to many times and teleconnections and long range models will never be looked at again one big massive fail this winter along with SSW not looking forward to a cold miserable spring thankfully I'm off to Philippines just after paddy's day.

Same has happened here.
The shower band survived intact to give North Belfast a covering but has died a death as it crossed the Lagan valley.
This cold snap gets 3/10 rating for providing one decent fall and a couple of hard frosts.
I'm not expecting anything cold again until at least mid February.
December 2017 cold spell delivered everywhere much better lasted over a week if i remember rightly proper snow shower spreading inland.

This is somewhat misleading. Prior to some past notable colder spells the charts suggested a long route to cold, but as those cold outbreaks proved it can happen quite quickly. Also sometimes the GFS Op run can lead the way against the ensembles. We saw this last week. The GFS is sometimes good at sniffing out trends that the other models don't pick up on. We could end up with heights towards the North East during the first week of February , but whether the high is far enough north and orientated the right way to advect cold our way I would be much less confident about.
That's my take yours is different enjoy the chase if comes earlier its a bonus.

At 12pm I had a fantastic covering of snow about 4cm deep, at 4pm, all gone.
What a disappointment.
If there was no mild sector would of been looking close to 1ft of snow

Yeah outlier at the end but all other models have collapsed as well and brought the breakdown in even quicker. Shame really.
Gfs Op been leading the way for a long time don't forget which your not allowed to say in here it's a swear word.

Just now, mountain shadow said:
What I find interesting with the MJO is that when it gets into so cold favourable cold sectors for us, that we just get a mid latitude block or brief cold spell like next week.
Yet, now that the MJO is moving into unfavourable sectors for cold the NAO goes rock solid positive for weeks.
The opposite never seems to occur.
It seems just above zonal wind speed is enough to set the zonal express train kicking in happened last cold spell to back in the start of December everything looked rosy but quickly turned on its head like a flick of a switch.
Ps Maybe it will all switch back tomorrow and we see these wedges that's been talked about yea never know
