  1. Uppers are eroded quite quickly on this run but like some of the best easterlies have been at the second bite. 2018 was to a degree.
  2. @kold weather I think you dry cold run with HP nearer the uk has arrived
  3. French PPN about 100 miles south on this run - difference between moderate snow in a force 7-8 for most of the south and nothing except for it brushing the coast
  4. the cold spell itself was less than a week - my snow gone in a couple of days - but i did live in Devon. In 1991 is stayed very cold at the surface with a dry inversion
  5. Darren i think nearly all the ensembles kill the easterly relatively quickly in terms of uppers. A lot stay cold at the surface. 1963 and 1991 didnt have uppers to write home about after the initial bite from the beast
  6. I think modelling is giving us about a 70/30 chance of a decent easterly. With the 70 - some are not nationwide and not very many have lots of longevity - uppers anyway 30 - so high because its ECM
  7. On that basis it must be faulty data - I dont think these records get smashed by 10-15 mb at a time
  8. GFS 12z op is the goldilocks run for the south east - 36 hours of moderate snow from next Sunday morning in a near gale.
  9. I think that would smash the doors off the records for Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark in terms of millibars On that basis, very unlikely to verify - or might even be an error EDIT - would smash the UK record too
  10. all good - uppers supportive of severe weather for a good 6-7 day period. very cold at the surface unless there is a dramatic breakdown from the west or south for a few days after that. Uppers were no great shakes for the second half of the Feb 1991 spell - but is was darn cold on the snow covered ground
  11. LOL even the insane GEM has it slightly marginal in my locale next Saturday - sleet again!
  12. GFS ensembles have mean uppers down to -8 to -9, 7th Feb. Not many runs extend the cold very long, although some at the surface will stay very cold. The op for example had a couple of ice days while the 0C 850 isotherm was over us
  13. Easterlies often get delayed in modelling so the ECM might be on to something. Can't delay too long at the this time of year though - the sun gaining in strength every day and all that
  14. Not the best - but if you are looking for trends in one model - it is a positive step forward from this morning. The fact that is it flip flopping indicates to me that it is struggling
  15. I'd say ECM is going pear shaped at 120 to be honest - not enough northern heights - it might be right and the others wrong - probably not a huge amount of data from that area.
  16. Fact is - they are probably all wrong as early as 144 - this amount of model dischord is placing FI at around 48-72 hours at the moment.
  17. Verification stats not withstanding, I don't think the ECM has performed all that well at 8,9 10 this winter. Too much flip flopping and not picking trends as well as other models.
  18. No but when they show differing outcomes, one tends to move towards the other solution. or they meet somewhere in the middle, or somewhere else
  19. ECM not really on board. Not a complete bust, but a day or so later - leaving more time to go wrong. Better than this morning run though
