Looking through the ens for next week, quite a lot of them deliver.. esp north.

Not too bad at all, mean consistently at or around -5 for some time, in London. Some decent zonality may just be around the corner, then who knows, the easterly we crave so badly may come at the end of the month

Day 6 and ukmo pick of the bunch by far

Agree, completely. North western areas look prime spot for snow showers. Then, as the winds turn more northerly, Northern and eastern areas are prime spots

Great news,We have the big three on board now Bad news is the Gem/Jma and icon are not good at all. I'd love it if we could get all on board. Obviously you'd favour the big three but nothing like a nagging feeling in the back of your head. Edit.. after looking again, the jma ain't too bad.

Ukmo a beauty

All in all, a good day for coldies. Ukm at 144 the pick of the bunch, looking forward to seeing the 168 chart. Great support from the gefs next week for a potent northerly.. snow chances aplenty. In the short term, those in the east, like me, should very much look forward to tomorrow!!

Significant snow event north of the low this weekend? Certainly possible. If the gfs and ukmo 12z came off disruptive snow on higher ground in the north. Thereafter, frequent snow showers piling into more northern and western regions. Encouraging signs. Happy coldie here.

18z looking good.

Not what we want to see. Sickener!!!

Lol just for fun.. ens number 13 anyone :).

Well, what a mess. Still all to play for although i do get that sickening feeling that the 'oh so familiar' westerlies will dart across us next week. Gfs op is awful, a few but not many decent ens- although the ens do tend to follow the op. Ecm could go either way but that's probably our best shot at cold. Ukmo is okay at 144hrs and could produce something decent going through next week. Gem back to it's usual zonal pattern. We should get a better idea by 12z runs tomorrow. :).

Ecm mean at Day 10!

Atleast the Gem has changed it's mind on the 12z. :).

Imo the most crucial set of 12z runs of season so far. Lets hope they all come on board for us coldies and make this forum a very happy place later this evening..

Is this finally the winter we've been craving so badly ????

Wow that screams huge potential for a classic end of nov snowy spell. Let's hope it comes off.

Hmm new nao and ao forecast.. make of it what you will

Here again for another winter rollercoaster ride. Always much more livelier on here during the winter months,look forward to reading everyone's views and I'll share mine aswell

Well what an experience. Truly incredible. Some of the damage we witnessed in Cork.

I'm here in Cork, travelled for the storm. Safe to say, Its very eerie. We've been advised not go out after 9am. Will try and get some good videos from the hotel window.

Me and my good friend are flying out to Cork on sunday. Looking to get some great videos. Will share my experience later next week.

I hope I'm wrong but got a feeling this is gonna cause a lot of people disappointment. Dew points above freezing may mean rain for many on Saturday. Typical as the heavier precipitation gets in.

Well, cross model agreement on it Turning much milder next week, what an awful winter it has been for the Met. Anyway, in the short term, some good news, a 4-5 day cold spell. Some snow around, areas prone, Eastern Scotland and North East England, although many places could see something come Saturday and Sunday. Some moderation from the north sea may spoil the party nearer to the coast. Enjoy the cold

Yeah, do you know why this is? Or can anyone help me. Eastern regions having a real mix of rain sleet and snow on Saturday with-7 uppers and dew points of 0 or below. Doesn't make sense to me.
