Since I have been on this forum, which hasn't been long, people including myself, have been saying cold is on the way, it should be snowing by 16th January, the ECM looks amazing, even though it has always been wrong etc etc etc. The fact of the matter is that the GFS is calling the shots this winter and it does matter what is happening in the US this winter too. Until the GFS starts showing cold CONSISTENTLY and the vortex is weakened, halting all that cold air flowing into the north atlantic, we are stuck with mild atlantic driven boredom.
