[Model Output Discussion 29th December - Into mid-Winter.]

I recall the 1978 well , but then it was an easterly in mid february when the north sea was very cold and thus the sea could not temper the easterly. Any views on how the north sea temps may limit the cold from an easterly in early January.

Never posted on this site before , but watch the weather every day carefully and been watching this website for ? 10 yrs. I have 5 children and oldest 21. They have never seen a winter like the chart today is predicting. I have watched daily the winter charts for last 40 yrs and can not ever recall seeing anything like this .  When i was 13  ? 1978 in mid February we had cold easterlies , but even then temp was not as low as predicted here. Newcastle were i used to live was cut off from rest of country. .   Someone said councils will have to order lots of salt , but it does not work at -7C.

 

We have been here before so many times , but i told my kids , one year winter will come back like when I was a child . Is 2017 going to be it.  If we have sub zero temps and a few depressions drifting in from the north , then what a combination. 

great site
