  1. I think the government should put a ban on the express for leaking this rubbish, not only does it affect the economy with people maybe panic buying, but if people plan ahead and they think there's a bad winter coming then they may cancel plans ie holidays, trips etc which then has a knock on affect on our economy. Also I think this point is massive they put fear into people... Worry about rising house bills, therefore can't afford heating, also the elderly who sadly have a higher chance of dying in such extreme cold. The express and it's followers need a long hard look at themselves and stop this scare mongering. If we have severe weather coming then report it and let the uk know then we can prepare, but these latest story's would even have some parts of Canada on alert.

  2. Hmm, I live on the south coast and I think that Northerly would deliver pretty much everywhere on the ECM. Although Easterlies tend to be a better setup for Southern England I agree. But I'll take a Northerly if that's all that's on offer, especially the northerly blast shown by the last couple of ECM's outputs.

    The models are still well out of range for anything reliable so it could change, and if it does change I bet it will downgrade and the gfs and ECM will find middle ground, also frosty precipitation charts are useless this far out, 24 hours out and that can change. Don't get me wrong I won't be moaning at this colder outlook but some off the ramping will get the hopes up of so many only for them to be disappointed when this cold snap arrives.

  3. Gfs is completely different to yesterday's output, could it of smelt something different? Maybe but most properly not. With the very cold ECM run I'm thinking by the time we get closer to the event we will find ourselves somewhere in between the gfs and ECM. Let's see what the ukmo has after 144 hours. Due to my location on the south coast I could care less if this northerly fails to deliver. I'm looking for the high on the ECM to push into scandi and bring in a easterly. Some models have suggested this but way out in fi so about as much good as a Train set with no plug.

  4. Just because the models are sitting the high slap bang over us does not mean it can't migrate north east and stick us in the freezer, we have got to stop taking each model run as certainty. I think we are perfectly set up ready to go into December, let's get Europe cold while keeping us seasonal, then hopefully the models can't send that pressure north/north east and stick us in the freezer for Christmas.

  5. tbh where not sure what happens after 120 we have the rough idea of pressure remaining north but details are limited. Westerlies are out of equation but southerlies, easterlies and northerlies aren't

    I think with Europe currently warmer than normal I'm not really fussed about what we get, there's still all winter to come and I'd rather have Europe in the freezer next time we get these charts. As stated already it only takes 24 hours and most of Europe could be frozen, if we go by the ukmo then we could really hit a good cold spell, with a nice block to our northeast we could keep our 2m temps below average, then once Europe is cold we could tap into some real freezing weather. It's really exciting model watching and one that's keeping us all guessing.

  6. I don't know why people are obsessed with very cold uppers, during 63 winter the really cold uppers stayed to our northeast. What we had was sustained cold, therefore the cold became entrenched and day by day got colder. Some models are pointing towards a prolonged cool/cold spell, so you never know.......

  7. Hi all,

    Been reading your forum for months, fascinating read and really enjoy reading everyone's views and opinions.

    Looking for ward to the cooler weather coming next week and then we're have to see where the models are going to see what happens after.

    People getting upset about model runs that are 5 days away need a chill pill. Whether we go zonal or in the freezer is anyone's guess. Model predictions change more than my baby's nappys so wait and see.

    Hopefully ECM will upgrade tonight.
