February is looking good according to some in the model waffle output thread so plenty of time to get snowed in lol

good news..today marks the start of the NH march into summer as the hemisphere has reached its coldest point of the year and will now warm until July 14th 

Winter is the silly season on this site so roll on summer with no cold chasing nonsense

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

The sun has got some strength to it, I have got tanned.

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

I can't wait until the summer as we don't get any weather then and there isn't any pointless chasing of weather that will never materialize

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

from having a quick look in the MOD thread it is a long way back for cold weather after this weekend but it should be quick lol. They love contradicting each other in that thread.

It was supposed to be cold today but it's been very nondescript. Cooler, but very far from freezing.

Our cold isn't even cold, there is no hope lol

Wednesday's low looks like it is going to end up in Morrocco

How do the models 'learn' from their mistakes? 

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before - I've been struggling to keep up at points over the last few days!

obviously they don't they do this to us every winter lol

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

London is too far in the wrong place for snow it needs to relocate to Moscow

ARPEGE completely avoids the south coast at all with regards to the same system. Still a mixed bag! 

Probably still won't be clear where Wednesday's feature is going come Thursday at this rate

is there no way we can have 'what's on your mind back?' Really helps when you post new threads so people are aware and stuff.

Do you mean status updates?

A (the breakdown is coming so we’ll get  3+ weeks of mild zonal weather) fatigue is creeping in.  Irrespective of what is being shown, I think it’s going to be fascinating to ‘actually’ see how the ‘westerly’ pattern occurs, and for how long.

21-25 seems the a peak ‘westerly’ incursion of some kind, which has been anticipated within this thread.  I think it will be interesting watching going forward how this plays out…..no I don’t think it might ‘switch’ to keep us in a freeze…but any projection of weeks of ‘usual conveyor belt’ is by no means secured.  
It’s 3c here today….pretty cold.  Colder to come?   

 

BFTP

 

Hopefully, it will be a short-lived spell of westerlies because we are running out of winter

Let’s be honest though, on a percentage scale, how many of these Narnia charts actually verify? I’d stab at less than 1%. They’re as much use as a crystal ball when it comes to cold and Snow. Garden path stuff. 

and if one model says no and the rest say yes to snow, side with the one that says no lol

[Moans, ramps and banter]

I guess the moral of the story is never let yourself get seduced by a model because it ends badly

GFS 0600 run moves the system on Wednesday further north running along the South coast and clipping into Kent.

The icon 0600 keeps it in northern France.

Do any of them take it to northern Africa

History tells me that it would be foolish to write off snow chances for the rest of winter yet given it’s still January…. However next week is presently appalling for snow prospects in our neck of the woods

 

However at least it’ll be sunny!!  

It looks sunny before the cool spell then vanishes, typical northerly wind set up.

The models don’t seem to have a clue what’s going on and that’s their job lol 

If anyone else did their job like the models, they would get size twelves up the weeble
